The Devil Has No Good Plan For You; Suicide Is Not An Option

This is what the devil wants you to do when things seem to be stagnant; he wants you to think, go to the extreme of doubting the existence of God, feel that the whole world is turning its back against you, feel that you can never survive the trial, feel depressed and commit suicide.

I was at a salon at a time while some polytechnic ladies walked in with a bad news. Gossip some say it's a girl's thing especially when they get to some gatherings where it is unavoidable. A lady said something happened down the road, a young boy committed suicide by hanging himself in his room. I and the hair maker shouted 'what!', because we were the ones that just heard the news. The hair maker asked for the reason behind the suicide mission,  and the tallest amongst the ladies responded that the boy was in his final year,  and he heard that he had to carry a course over, so he was left with no choice than to end his life before time.

I was angry and I thought to myself that why would one give up at the prime time. At that stage of my thought,  another lady added that the boy was from a poor home and he wasn't mingling with people so he had no one to share his experience with. I got furious again and said to the ladies that if he was mingling with his neighbours,  they would have been his messiah. The boy committed suicide and for three days no one came to check on him till a smelly odour was perceived in the neighborhood which led them to his door. The neighbours had to break their way in to gain entrance to the room where they saw the decaying body of the boy said one of the ladies.

 I said again to myself ; this boy would have probably been saved if he mingles with his neighbours and one of them could have been his confidant or a saver walking in before he gave up the ghost. I felt the boy had some burden he was carrying before the advent of the course he was meant to carry over. The boy felt the end had come so there was no need to live.

He listened to the whispers of the devil, and he fell at his feet. He forgot that God is forever faithful. The trial was meant to make him strong, but he chose death as the option instead of him to fight through the struggle. He has made the devil to rejoice over him, and no remedy after his death. Suicide is not the answer to our problems, fighting on is the remedy to conquer any canker worm that aims to eat deep into any area of our lives.
