This is my first time In Gems community and I'm proud to be among. I have an interesting but curious article to share here. Please relax with some popcorn and chilled yoghurt and enjoy my article.
Have you ever thought of the process gold passes through before it becomes the shiny yellow mineral you see today that worth over a thousand dollar per ounce? Remember that Gold was just some pieces of abandoned metal congealed together in rocks. These pieces of metal called Ore according to scientists contains low or high content of gold in them which are extracted by cyanide and result component becomes "dore".
These Dore component is refined thoroughly and steadily through fire to become fire-resistant, non corrosive and pure. Today we have gold necklaces, wrist watches and other fine jewelleries....Many good people are like gold that are being tested by evil forces that dominate the world. If you come out successfully from the fire, you will become what every body dreams of. But unfortunately during the trials, some die, give up and become biased and follow the way of evil. We obviously face two kinds of strong forces from time, these two forces are the good and evil forces. God, the all powerful oversees the good forces while Satan the rebel oversees the evil forces. In our present world today, it has become very obvious that the evil forces seems to be gaining control over humanity. This will only continue to happen because of man's unending greed for power, lust and wealth.
Man has always from the beginning be given the dominant spirit to take charge of all things on earth and not the other way round. But what we see today in disguise of man's dominance is power, wealth and lust taking charge of man's life. He becomes a slave unknowingly thinking the reins are in his hands. These things control man making him think he controls them. They make him steal, kill and destroy his brothers, friends, relatives and everyone around him without making him feel bad about it, instead they make him feel he fights for justice, protecting what he owns, restoring order, proving authoritative leadership etc...
From the time of the old prophets until now, the Bible and the Quran has made us to believe that most good people never lived enough to finish their ripe ages here on earth. Abel was so young and innocent when he was brutally killed by his brother Cain. Jesus was beaten and crucified for preaching peace, repentance and salvation for the good of everyone. Stephen was also matured and many other. Past heroes of our present time, young and brave....the likes of Fela Kuti, Martin Luther etc and many being killed for being good and helpful. The system frowns against goodness so if you're not strong, you can be killed too.
People are lamenting today saying if there is a good God, why does he let good people die? Couldn't he just protect them with his power? But the truth is that both good and bad people die prematurely. We only expect that bad people deserves more and gotten rid of so everyone can live peacefully. But then Man was to fellowship with God and take charge of all his creation on earth till eternity. The aggrieved satan who had already lost his royal place, power and authority in heaven and was now cast away that even man had power over him, became so grieved and jealous that he caused man to sin to shorten his lifespan on earth. (He knew from the beginning that sinners shall die). Man accepted and believed satan's word and brought death upon himself and today death still knocks on everyone's door.
The next part will reveal a shocking truth and hope for our children. Being good is a honor and privilege, it is never a waste of time. Stay tuned my lovely community for the ending part of this article.
