BUILDING THE DESIRED LIFE EARLY

Before going into the subject of discourse, I want to share a story with you.

I can remember vividly one rainy evening, I stood under a building for shelter awaiting the heavy rain to subside when a man there walked towards me and then engaged me in a conversation with him. While at it, he asked me an intriguing question; "if you were given a hundred thousand Naria, what would you do with it?" Wondering why he asked, i replied, "Well, I would venture into a profitable business with a larger amount of that money then invest on developing my skills (I had skills I wanted to build). He commended my witty response and revealed the reason for asking. According to his statement, he asked a young lady the same question and she said she would change her wardrobe; she would get beautiful clothes,bags, shoes etc or an iPhone.

This story amongst others I've heard made me realise that many young fellows out there gallivants without PURPOSE, VISIONS or PLANS for their lives and future; that's the beginning of nuisance and mediocrity. Some young fellas live off their parents or uncles and aunties all their lives, some seek easy path to make money or achieve success, some doesn't even know what to do with their lives because of lack of direction and orientation which may result them making wrong choices and involving in various vices.

You should understand that the desired future acquired is a product of seeds sown today while you are young. Wisdom demands you plan ahead of time; at your prime time (this is applicable for any project in life) because limitations and restrictions emanates as you age. There are things you can do at your twenties you cannot do at your thirties and things at thirties that can't be achieved at fourties. Life is all about timing. (Ecclesiastes 3:1). So, you possess a greater advantage as a young person to achieve much in life. Do not mess up this opportunity and live to regret it.

Based on the statement about the young lady the man in my story made, the young lady had no BIG plans for her life, she was only after present gratification; how she would give herself pleasures now without knowing that it is the time for investment and building. Without a doubt, getting yourself new clothes, shoes, phone or good things of life is good but not when you are not bouyant enough to afford such luxury neither should it be at the expense of building a bright future.

Rather than thinking who will always give to you or how to make illegal/dirty money or who to hook up with to grant you financial freedom, or means of trying to impress other people, think on how you can stand on your own, how you can build for yourself and others, how you will become relevant and of great value, how you can be a solution to the world's problems.

I believe so much in self development and self investment. Nothing invested in remains valueless.

So start investing now! Success has a process that cannot be maneuvered. Its not gotten cheaply.

Plan your life, have it penned in a book and run with it. (Habakkuk 2:2).

In all, ensure that God is fully involved.

Our next article shall reveal how to build your desired life early. Stay tuned!

God bless you!

HOW POSSIBLE IS PURITY IN A PERVERSE WORLD?

We live in a world where premarital sex, lust, and diverse sexual vices are thrown at us on the face. Sensual pictures, movies and music that promotes and instigates pornography, masturbation, lesbianism, homosexuality, adultery, rape, lust, etc are rampant, virtually everywhere. It takes advance discipline and utmost reverend for God to be able to resist it. When you access the internet, its there. When you read through some magazines, its there. What about the television compiled with various TV channels with different commercials, ads, movies, operas, shows, etc, it is in its abundance. These days, almost everything we view promotes lust. Even ads; mere ads. Those that value their christian faith and purity can't even watch television in peace. You'll have to keep changing and switching channels to guide your eyes against scenes that defiles the mind. Even the streets are cluttered with immodestly dressed women and men. They are on every sidewalk and every corne...

HE WAITS FOR IT

I love that feeling I get when a person who seeks my downfall gets so disappointed as a result of his planned scheme against me being totally frustrated. I really do love it. It communicates that I can't be touched, harmed or disadvantaged by the enemy. It makes the fact about God being with me evident to me. I'm certain Jesus had that satisfactory feeling when He overcame the temptations the devil brought His way during His retreat in the wilderness. Imagine being highly tempted three times around the same time and all temptations are in sync with the desires of the flesh. However, Jesus overcame him with a simple tactics..." by the words of their testimony" ( Revelation 12:11). Until tomorrow, this strategy is most relevant for overcoming any hurdle, challenge or temptation. How does this correlate with today's article; HE WAITS FOR IT? Luke speaks of a reality Jesus experienced and every Christian equally experiences. See this: "Now when t...

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

An eye for an eye is no new idiom. You must have heard of it or use it yourself. Either way, that idiom is something a child of God should never use but apply a different approach to it. An eye for an eye is a language used by those who seek justice (a repay) of wrong(s) or evil done to him or her. But in as much as justice is good and in many cases approved even in scriptures, same scripture gave room for mercy and forgiveness. Unfortunately, many christians take laws into their hands by "wanting their offenders eye for the eye taken from them". They want to equivalently retaliate for the pain, backstab, hate, gossip or any sort of evil done to them in other to satisfy that hurt. But this is contrary to what Jesus preached. Jesus taught two vital measures you should take for any wrong or mischief done against you. Before i talk on these two keys, I'd love to reveal what the Holyspirit personally taught me from the book of Ephesians on this subject of reveng...

A GEN Z PROBLEM

You don't have to be surprised by today's blog title. I can assure you that there are challenges this generation are faced with that the previous generations didn't experience. Just stay with me on this ride. In case you don't know what Gen Z is, GEN Z (Generation Z) is a term refered to individuals born between 1997 and 2012. It isn't really a professional term used to identify those born in those years but it was coined by few individuals. However, it's use gained wide spread around 2010 to 2015 particularly amongst marketers/advertizers, media outlets, researchers and youngsters especially in social media world. I said something about the previous generation known as the millennials (those born between 1981 to 1996) who didn't really face the problems of the 'Gen Z's. "What could it be? " Simple, SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURE. Prior to the 21st century (2000's), it is recorded that the world was already digitalized but the soci...

GOD IS COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY: An Experience

Last Sunday's service sparked in my memory an experience I had with a cultist few months back. The sermon, "THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS ANGELS OF PROSPERITY" by my mentor, Pastor Victor Akah cemented my belief in God's total protection, the ministry of His angels and the consciousness of their presence in my life. However, I want to show you by the spirit and my experience that God never fails to protect and deliver those who are His. It was on a Saturday evening. The weather; beautiful, fit for evangelism. I walked a distance then followed a shortcut that would make my journey to the church hall easier before setting out for evangelism with brethren. It was round 4:30 pm. As I walked into the street, getting closer to its end as to reach the express road, I heard a man whistle at me, " Hello, fine girl, stop". I thought it was just one of those guys by the road side that have nothing to tell a young girl but to ask for her name and number, so I ig...
