I
was reading something on my office laptop sometime ago, I came across this
cycle of life and I wondered about it. So I started thinking about myself and I
asked myself:
- Where
do I belong?
- I’m
I still at stage one?
- What
have I achieved so far?
- What
can I do to benefit my society? So many thoughts were rushing into my mind.
And
as a child of God, who is so much interested, longing for more grace to do the
impossible, do what my parents could not do and advanced in life asked myself
how my spiritual and financial life is? How I’m I preparing for the future? Where
do I belong in this cycle of life?
I
come to discover that life is stage by stage and is a gradual process till when
God says it’s time. So I don’t have to struggle because have seen my friends ahead
of me. Don’t forget we all have different grace, destinies to fulfill and
different backgrounds. But this doesn’t mean you should be lazy.
If
you choose to do anything for the betterment of tomorrow, why not take a bold
steps and remain focus in doing it while it is day; for sure night will come
where no man will work.
If
you choose to serve God at your tender age why not go ahead and serve him. I remember
one of our guest ministers some time age, told us assuming he knew that God is
so sweet and interesting, he would have done more. When he was sharing this he
was 40 – 50 years of age.
He
said to us that he was so energetic and agile at his youthful age. That when he
got repented, he was 35yrs. He was regretting that all those years and energy
he would have use it to serve God. He said: how I wish I know Jesus like I do
now, I would have gone far and more better than I am now. It was so touching
and challenging to us; especially me because he caused me to re-examine my
relationship with God.
So
why not make a decision today; now that you are still strong, not just anyhow
decision; but a good one. Don’t just engage because you know what you are going
get by the end of the day.
My
pastor use to tell us that serving God is not bread and butter, but it
guarantees bread and butter. He ain’t telling us the road would be easy. Remember
in every endeavours there is a price to pay. So don’t jealous others when they
are ahead of you because you may not know the prices they have paid to get to where
they are.
If
you fail to do something about your current situation, you will live to regret
it. So stop putting blames on our parents. Some people don’t even have what you
have at hand, many are praying; God if you can just give me this, I’ll make
good use of it to the glory of your name. And you are there blaming your
parents. It is an error for you to die a poor man even if you are born into a
poor family but it is an error to die a poor man. So make a change because the
decisions you make today determines your future.
Your
family may be poor at hand, but you are there now, well you can’t question God why
he sent you to that family or why me? If it is not you, who then? Make a
decision not to die the way you see your parents suffering in poverty and died
as a result of that. Aspire to make a change and I tell you, if you start it
and God sees your effort, he will come through. That I know for sure.
So get something doing, but first you must give it up for HIM to have his way in you.
So get something doing, but first you must give it up for HIM to have his way in you.
God Bless
