The Lesson Learnt From Henry’s Sad End.
My people, this story dey teach us big lesson. The Bible talk for Proverbs 10:9 say, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” Henry choose to walk the crooked path, and in the end, his deceit catch up with him. No matter how successful you dey appear, if your ways no pure, the truth go eventually come out.
This story also dey remind us say the love of money na root of all evil. Henry let greed drive him to live dangerous and deceitful life. The Bible talk for 1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” Henry’s quest for wealth lead him to a tragic end.
Make we hold on to the words for Proverbs 28:6, “Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse.” True wealth no dey come from money alone, but from living a life of integrity and honesty.
Another important verse na Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Make we trust God to guide our steps and lead us on the right path.
A Call for Integrity
This story of Henry Odenigbo na powerful reminder say integrity and honesty dey important for everything we do. Make we no let greed and the love of money drive us to make wrong choices. True success dey come from living a life of integrity, and trusting God to provide for our needs.
