As humans, we are bound to make a
whole lot of mistakes in our lifetime. However, here are 7 life threatening
mistakes you should never make
1.
Relying on inheritance: This is a one way road to
everlasting laziness. Laziness that might lead to drinking, drugs or obesity
and severe depression. An inheritance should be an added advantage and not your ONLY source of living.
2.
Living without purpose and vision: Without a purpose or vision or dream, you are
like a nylon carried about by different winds. No direction, no goals. Sometimes
the wind blows in your favour, other times, it doesn’t. No control over your
future which can lead to a frustrated life.
3.
Alcohol, drug use and crime: I put these three
together because they hand in hand most times. It often starts with constant
drinking then smoking. As you progress, your clique of friends change and
before you know it, they introduce you to drugs and then if you are ‘qualified’,
you move to the next level which is crime. When your constant place of
relaxation becomes drinking bars, stop and think.
4.
Sexual Immorality: Many grow up in a home where
there is no parental restraint or control in the religious aspect. The parents
are not really concerned, they just want to make sure you are good in school
and turn out responsible. Some see this as a headway to date and sleep around. This
is a mistake that when you fall into, you continue to go deep and deep into. Sometimes,
you even begin to experiment outside the natural order of man and involve in
acts that rub you of your dignity. then backsliding sets in not just spiritually but emotionally, physically, academically. Sexual immorality affects you physically,
spiritually, emotionally and most times you loose touch with reality.
5.
Living without God: If you choose this path, a lot
of hard work and disappointments will be associated with you. God is our
creator, whatever the religion, He is always acknowledged. You cannot live a successful,
happy and peace filled life without God. It’s one of the gravest mistakes a
human can choose to make.
6.
Wrong marital choice: It is often said that a bad
marriage is hell on earth and it is. Making the wrong choice of a marital partner
can lead you to hell, rub you of eternal happiness, make you live in constant
sin every day, kill or diminish your dreams, make you age faster than possible. Your marital
partner is that face you wake up the rest of your life to see beside you, is
that person you share your home with forever, is that person you remain forever
obligated to after Christ. There is no escape route. If you choose to divorce
and marry another, you live in sin.
7.
Love of money: The bible said that the love of
money is the root of all evil (ist Tim 6 v 10). When you love money, you are bound to be involved in all kinds of evil. It’s okay to want money. To have a desired and
comfortable life, money is one of the major things needed. But when money is
the driving force of your life, sit back and think twice because if you
continue with that, you are bound to have a very open mind to involve in anything no matter
how unthinkable just to get your desired goal.
There you have it, 7 mistakes you
should think thrice before falling into. Any thoughts? Please share.
