Bible verse in Yoruba

Luku 12:15 – O si wi fun wọn pe, Kiyesara ki ẹ si mã ṣọra nitori ojukòkoro: nitori igbesi aiye enia ki iduro nipa ọ̀pọ ohun ti o ni.

Key: Life is not defined by wealth and possession but by our richness in our relationship with God. Life is defined by how much we fellowship with God, our service to God, our love for God and our obedience to God’s commandments. The best of what this world has to offer is not made for our transition to eternity(God’s kingdom) save only if we have a rich relationship with Him.   

Question for meditation: Are you rich in your relationship towards God?
