Title: The Empty Pursuit of More.

‭Luke‬ ‭12:15‬ ‭KJV‬

[15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

 Devotion: Many people like to accumulate material things even when they don't actually need so much. I'm my country, Nigeria one politician once boasted that he had 55 different types of SUV, and that was 20 years ago. I can conclude that the SUVs are dated by now and that he had probably acquired several new ones. One wonders what he was doing with so many when one day like all human being, he will die and leave them all behind for someone who did not work for them.

 We often forget that life does not consist of material possession but of good that we do while on Earth. Recently a lady spent millions of dollars on birthday celebration. In the party she allegedly changed her clothes more than 30 times according to online reports. All these will soon pale into insignificance but if the money so spent was used for humanity eg scholarship, build motherless babies' home or something it will remain for ever.

 Let us not forget that no matter how long we lived here on earth we will live longer in eternity either heaven or hell depending on our relationship with God while on Earth. I therefore urge you dear reader to rather prepare for heaven instead of wealth accumulation on earth where moth(Matthew 6:19) will destroy it even while you're still alive.
