IT WILL ALL BE FORGOTTEN — I CRIED, UNDERSTANDING VANITY IN A FLASH.

 IT WILL ALL BE FORGOTTEN — I CRIED, UNDERSTANDING VANITY IN A FLASH. 


Ecclesiastes 8:10, KJV  

     “And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were FORGOTTEN in the city where they had so done: this is also VANITY”.


Yesterday, May 28th 2025, While On Soul Visitation with some leaders of my Church, we happened to walk the street around my school vicinity, to my suprise I was excited to meet my Chemistry Tutor for the second time after completing high school in 2017, I ran towards him with joy and gladness — little did I know it would be the shock of my life. 


This particular tutor awarded me best in Chemistry with honors during a speech and prize day in July 2016, dignitaries were eye witnesses of that passing moment, and to top the cake with a cherry : my Dearest Rev. John C. Hutchison was present for that memorable and exciting occasion, I received five awards in a row with best honors, never understanding that the delusion of the eternalness of these accolades felt real for that moment but was sadly passing, 

    — until yesterday, when the saddest thing happened that moved me to tears when I got home, my tutor forgot my name, my mates, my year of completion. The only thing he remembered and mentioned was “I know you're now reading Psychology after 8 years because you're a Pastor and you love the Lord”, He always knew I loved the Lord. I cried when I got home, “Ah ah ah, vanity vanity vanity” 

 

He forgot everything else, every accolade, all the praises he showered on me which I heard upon completion, he forgot it all in less than a decade, but remembered my love for the Lord, that : He never forgot — I was so shocked to the bone, I feared greatly for men who boasted in their accolades, and even now while writing this masterpiece, TEARS ARE JUST DROPPING FROM MY EYES, because I understood what true vanity was, and it was having everything else without Christ.


My dear, live for something higher than yourself, do not because your dream, be His dream, His word — and you'll forever be glad and fulfilled because God is not unrighteous (human) to forget! Be different, let eternity creep and occupy your heart today. 


Regards,

WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP

DAYSTAR ANSWERS A MAJOR QUESTION BOTHERING LADIES IN GODLY RELATIONSHIPS Honest & Open Conversations With Pst. π’Ÿπ’Άπ“Žπ“ˆπ“‰π’Άπ“‡ π’₯π’žπ»π‘€ During one of those interesting panel conversations, an eye-opening and heart-stirring session as one panelist described it, thoughtful and practical questions were directed at Daystar on the discussion theme " WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP ".  Here, Pastor took the opportunity to narrow in on the balance between submission and respect from a woman and a man, respectively. And how this signals one's readiness for commitment — stating that the first step towards anything relationship : is "being honest with yourself", and not following the crowd into one of life's most important decisions, thus, the choice of love and romantic commitment. On the note of honesty, he sited an instance from a legend where an elephant and a mice were to cross a bridge. The mice couldn't proceed because it would fall through the...

AN UNDER-ACHIEVED PERSON IS NEVER AN AUTHORITY FOR YOU

  AN UNDER-ACHIEVED PERSON IS NEVER AN AUTHORITY FOR YOU  On the path to greatness there are lots of things you would have to face, but one of the things you must not face is public opinion about you, it ought not to mean anything to you, only God's word should mean everything to you.  Listen to your leader and to God, and let their words and report about you drown every other voice with Focus! One time my Pastor, Rev. Hutchison, said to me, and that was addressed directly, he stated : “sometimes the only way you master skill at a thing is by doing it continually”. Then I learnt you don't develop skill and excellence by listening to opinions, you develop skill by sticking to instructions and practice. Thus, by doing what you must do, regardless.  Let me make this very simple for you : “never respect, esteem or hold highly the words of people who have an opinion for you about something they haven't yet accomplished”. In your relation with such a person, you must consc...

THE MM DETOX, MOVIE & MEDIA

  THE MM DETOX, MOVIE & MEDIA  Daystar Shares His Personal Experience On,   DEALING WITH SUBTLE WORLDLINESS I am so glad because, as at 1st August (the date of this article), it's been over two months of no movies, series or anything "sensually entertaining". You may not understand the joy I have in me for having this experience. I practically lived on series to eat and rest.  Inasmuch as I made time for what mattered early on as a young minister, what majorly entertained me was movies and series, and I wouldn't mince words on that — the fact is, they kept my mind off what could be a bother to me, but that was not good enough an excuse, but I didn't know, and yes I've watched countless, you name it : but they're all vanity and destructive. They develop in you another character you can turn to when no one is watching. Sadly, I did not immediately notice the subtle communications and impact these contents had on me holistically. Not long ago, I mentione...
