Prepare for your Time


Life has phases and stages. It is like educational pursuit. If you don’t start from primary school, nobody will admit you into secondary school, likewise, if you don’t finish secondary school, no one will admit you into the university even if your father is the VC; so is life.
You must follow life stages, whether you like it or not. The Holy Book says “there is time for everything under the sun. The time to be born, the time to be married and be given to marriage…” So wait for your time, it will surely come. And when it finally comes, you will shine in spite of your age.
I hear people comparing themselves with others “just see Peter of yesterday is now driving a car. When we were in school, I use to teach him, so and so…” You don’t need to look at other people like that. It is their time that is why they are “enjoying”; when your own time comes, no one will stop it – not even the witches and wizards in your entire village.
Looking at people like that brings envy and jealousy; and this has never helped anybody. In fact, it has destroyed our society. It is one of the root causes of “sudden death” of young men and women in our communities these days.
I always tell people when I have the opportunity to do so that, the fact that I am trekking the street today does not mean I can’t drive a Jeep tomorrow. The fact that I fail today, does not mean I will fail tomorrow also. The fact that I am in the village today does not mean I will not visit the White House in Washington tomorrow.
So, why bother yourself and envy other people that they are progressing. Why bother yourself for something you cannot change? If you think you can change it by pulling other people down or killing them, remember that if you want to be a king, then, you don’t have to kill a king.
The Holy Bible says “those who live by the sword will eventually die by the sword… Whatever measure you give others will be your portion in the end”.
What you should be doing right now as your time has not come is to be preparing for your time, so that when it comes, you will be well prepared to take on opportunities that will present themselves.
If you are going about pursuing other people to pull them down, when your time comes, you will not be prepared for it, and all that is meant for you will pass you by.
Prepare and wait for your time, it will surely come no matter how long it tarries. A word is enough for the wise.

Fear is Fake!!!

Fear is a state of confusion. It a state of hopelessness. Fear cripples, fear destroys.  It rendered a strongman weak. It rendered potent man impotent. It makes a rich man poor. Fear kills! There was a Youngman, he loves cooking so much, so he decided and picked a job with a restaurant in his city.   It was a big restaurant that offers late services. His job was to cook soup on a daily basis from 8am to 5pm. He loves meat so much. Whenever he was preparing soup for the restaurant, he will steal pieces of meat from the soup. He did this on daily basis.   One day, he went to work very early and found chickens in the restaurant store. He cannot remember when last he had eaten chicken and chicken happens to be his best meat. He look around to see if anybody was around. There was nobody in sight. He look to the left, right and back, there was no body watching him. He caught one of the chicken, twist its neck, hide it under his clothes and...

Start Today

There was a little boy whose father asked him one day: “What would you like to be when you grow up?” and he replied, “I’d like to be the best footballer.” The next day, as early as 5am, his dad came to his room and woke him up. When he checked the time, he was surprised that his father would wake him up so early. He said, “Daddy it is just 5am, I still have to sleep.” But his father said, “No, my boy. Last night you said you wanted to be the best footballer. If that is going to happen, then you have got to learn to wake up early, jog and train every day. If you do this until you are eighteen years old, you will be the best.” Reluctantly, the boy got up from bed and went to jog with his daddy. The interesting part of the story is that the boy ended up being the best. What does this tell us? It is not enough to make a decision for success; you have got to wake up early and start heading towards your goal. You can’t still be in bed at 8am in the morning and expect to be the best; it does ...
