SUPERCILIOUSNESS AND BRAGGADOCIO
Mind how you treat those
you meet on your way up for you may be meeting them again on your way down:
Ø Because they are the
people who may pick you up and help you stand again if you fall!
Ø Because yesterday, some
people who are down today were up and the poor were rich vice versa! Hence, the
falling down of yellow leaves is a warning to the green ones!
Ø Because the fantasy of
any man could be substantialized by the Omnipotence to catapult him to his
place of greatness!
Ø Because the animal
regarded as a taboo in one’s man community is as well regarded as a delicacy in
another man’s community!
Ø Because when elephant
claims to be the strongest animal in the jungle, other animals will one day
congregate to celebrate its down fall!
Ø Because what have
instigated your superciliousness are transient, vanities and meretricious for
“….there’s no profit under the sun”. Ecclesiastes 2:11. Hence the world
we live is rich but empty! Take heed, it’s an empty world!
Ø Don’t ostracize those
you feel they are inferior or make them to be at your beck and call for
tomorrow may be your turn to take their place vice versa!
Ø Don’t be supercilious
because you own bread, remember another man owns a bakery!
Ø Because you are nothing
but dust! “…for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Gen. 3:19b
REMEMBER
Superciliousness
is not far from ignorance!
Ø What
goes around comes around. No one knows tomorrow!
Ø Respect
is what you earn and not what you demand!
Ø With
your credential you can still fall in monumental manner! Remember Samson, Moses
and Saul!
Ø To be
supercilious is to rate yourself higher than you really are. Hence when a
supercilious man thinks best of himself, then God and man think worst of him!
Ø Every
beginning has an end, every night has a morning and every fight has a winner.
Hence, “there’s hope for the living dog than for a dead lion”! Ecclesiastes 9:4
Ø For the
fact that you are high and mighty doesn’t make you superior to others. You may
be there by chance or through fate.
Ø “For
all flesh (human) is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth…” 1Pet.1:24
Ø Not
much feathers that make a whole bird!
Ø Hence, don’t be
supercilious for superciliousness and braggadocio lead to infamous river with
raging torrent which flows into a pit less
waterfall!
