Almost in all world
cultures, the elderly ones are regarded as closer to God Almighty for the
Christians and other gods for the heathen.
In other words, godly
elders are considered like the voice of God; because their experiences in life
would have taught them both tough and pleasant lessons.
Above all, once old;
one should accept the reality of the times. Some old people tend to misbehave
by trying to hide their age identity; some dye their hair, others dress as if
they were still in their teenage and so on and so forth!
Some old people are
called sugar daddies; they hardly can control the sexual passions; but because
nature is telling on them; they go about trying to take drugs or herbs in order
to enhance or boost their sexual strengths or capabilities.
“The elders who are
among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of
Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:
Shepherd the flock of
God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly,
not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to
you, but being examples to the flock…” (1Pet 5:1-3).
