Trends, trendy, trending…
Just go on Twitter or even Facebook, an “influenza” types #BumBum and boom it trends and almost everyone, even those who would not normally shout or tweet about this will just follow…
An “influenza” says “oya” everyone sample this or that and those who would naturally frown at this join in the craze…Many people are moved primarily by what others do…
Many people live to trend, trends.
Little wonder when someone “blows” or “hammers” doing something, it is not strange seeing a lot of people doing likewise.

Be careful about the kind of groups you join on WhatsApp, Facebook or other social media networking sites…
Be careful about the kind of people you follow online.
Be careful about the kind of sects or philosophies you imbibe online.
Be careful about following people who always shout doom, gloom and disaster and emphasize about the hopelessness of life.
Be careful about drinking from well of those who always shout that life has no meaning and living serves no purpose.
Be careful about following people who pride and relish posting about disaster, violence and vices.
This may look like just talk.

But not too long ago, there was the fire challenge. Everyone who is sane knows fire burns, everyone who is sane knows fire can wreck havoc and yes it can even cause fatal injuries, but no…
The intent of this challenge I will never understand, but some people followed the trend regardless of the consequences and that was it…
Also there have been outrage over a number of other games and challenges, which took lives, after encouraging people to take their lives..
The power of Imitation…
Mind who you follow and listen to…
Your life is so precious…
So so precious…
That Jesus had to become flesh…
That Jesus had to pay the full price…
Just for you…
Jesus Loves you, you are not alone.
