AUTHORITY ARROGANCE…..

A drug law officer stopped at a farm near Odeda in Ogun state, and talked with an old farmer.
He told the farmer, “I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs.”

The farmer said, “Okay , but don’t go in that field over there…..”, as he pointed out the location.
The drugs squad officer verbally exploded saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Government with me.”
Reaching into his rear trouser pocket, he removed his official ID card and proudly displayed it to the farmer.

“See this ID card? This ID card means I am allowed to go wherever I wish. On any land !! No questions asked or answers given !! Have I made myself clear. Do you understand ?”
The old farmer nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old farmer heard a loud scream, looked up, and saw the drugs squad officer running for his life, being surrounded by a swarm of wild bees. The officer was clearly terrified.

The old farmer threw down his tools, ran to the fence and shouted at the top of his lungs………
Stop running & Show them your ID card…oh…!!”‎

LESSON;
Lack of humility brings humiliation
*Pride goes before a fall
*Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Let us learn to be humble…..it costs us nothing!

For now, let me focus on the Topic “UNEXPECTED VERSE” as my heading says.

A couple of days ago, someone sent a text to check up on me. As always, I was happy he checked up on me (by extension, his family did) as I do check up on them also.

But after the chat, a story was laid in my heart with a couple of words accompanying it. The story of the wise men and Herod. My mind twitched/ short circuited so to say because I couldn’t tell where…
