There is a popular axiom, that, there is no new thing under the sun. I want to submit here, that, there is nothing anyone accomplishes or attain, someone else had not in some time past. There is no position we find ourselves today someone else had not assumed before, but wisdom demands that we take time to learn our lessons from their flaws as well as their successes to better our lot. I was meditating on a passage of the bible this morning, 2Chronicles.26. Talking about king Uzziah. He was just sixteen years old when he assumed the throne of his ancestors, but the part that struck my heart and even shed more light on the secret of any kingdom or nation to thrive and excel among his counterparts in economy, politics, military, sciences, and technology is this: And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. vs.5. Following down the history line, it is observed that many nations that have grown and are growing in power, wealth, and influence both in the bible and in our contemporary times have something to do with seeking the Lord. The moment a man or a nation turn the back on God, the out come is alway very dissastrous. The day Uzziah started working contrary to God and his ordinances, he began to wane down both in power and influence, together with his kingdom. But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: 4 he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense...and Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; 4 he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the kings house,judging the people of the land. vs.16-21. May the Lord grant us wisdom to tap into his abundance by making him our top priority in all our affairs.He who refuses to serve God will serve wat isnt God, is our local adage.
