Dearly Beloved,GOOD MANNERS"A good name is more desirable than great
riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold" (Proverbs 22:1
NIV).In the aspect of daily quotes in my Internet ministry, I recently
posted a quote by Fanny Jackson Coppin that reads thus: "Good manners
will often take people where neither money nor education will take
them." People started reacting to the quote barely an hour after its
posting. The argument was that it is difficult for good manners to do
such a thing in today's world, especially in Nigeria. Those people
were corroborating the new trend whereby good manners do not matter to
people either to get or give a favour. People nowadays can do anything
to get what they want. On many occasions, people with good names are
not considered for a position because of the corruption in the
present-day society.However, that quote and many biblical injunctions
about good manners are still relevant today. One may bypass
good manners to get a favour, but such favour will not last. One may
have wealth, position, affluence, and the likes, but it is better to
have good name and good manners. When wealth, position, affluence, and
the likes fade away, good name and good manners will remain
evergreen.What do you prefer between good manners and affluence? Many
people will prefer the latter. But, it is better to choose the former.
A good name is indeed more desirable than great riches, and good
manners will often take you where neither money nor education will
take you.In His service,Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor).
