STATUS SWAP

I had a very interesting discussion with some friends recently, in which we expressed concerned at the future of some of the children of the affluent in our society today.

Their parents are able to send them to the most expensive schools in the country and abroad.
However, what is worrying is that a number of these children do abscond from school and some do not even attend the schools they are sent to after sometime.

Meanwhile, their parents think that they are in school and keep on giving or sending them money.

We all know of some children who fail to be educated and end up being vagabonds in society as a result of being children of the affluent.

When their parents die such children often fail to continue to do what their parents did in order to acquire the wealth they are currently enjoying.

In most known cases, they would plunder the property of their parents and soon become destitutes whose ending is usually very tragetic.

Poverty and in worst cases death creeps in and take them on before they reach mature age.
On the other hand, children of the some of the poor, do struggle to go school due to lack of financial support from their parents.

Through their struggle they eventually manage to finish their education, even when it takes them longer than normal to do so.

Once they attain their education, they become the affluent whilst their counterparts become the poor.

This is what is called "status swap".

If you are reading this Post, it means you are likely to belong to the affluent, who can afford a computer or a smart phone.

As you celebrate the Christmas and New Year festives, lanced with a lot wine and dining, have you ever thought about the plight of the children of the poor?

What pass are your children on right now?

Are they destined for a status swap or will they be like you?

Remember Christ was born for our salvation and not for our salvaging.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

AMEN !
