JUST MY THOUGHTS
Hi readers!
As always it feels great to be writing to you all today. I hope church was good!
I read a quote a while back by a man named S.L MOODY and it to a very large extent changed how i see my life and my impact in it.
Here's the quote and I pray that it enters into you like it did into me:
"Someday you'll read in the papers that i'm dead,dont believe
a word of it because in that moment i'll be more alive than
I am right now" S.L MOODY
That's it. Simple right?
Whether or not some of us like it,we will all die someday! I mean die,like body-decayed kind of die. We will see our body become dust again. All the face that you have being trying to keep with all those beauty products will someday be thrown six feet down.
The question I want to ask is,whose life would you have impacted? how many people would miss you when you leave? well,let me be nice. Everybody would be missed by at least one person. If nobody misses you,at least your family would. That should be enough consolation right?
But the question for you right now is would anybody apart from your family miss you? I have being really thinking about how old I am gradually becoming even if i'm still really young,at least compared to a lot of people,I definitely am young.
When I was secondary school my mathematics teacher usually told us that by the time we sleep and wake up for three months,the term would be over. (he said it to encourage the ones who could barely wait for the term to come to an abrupt end...I was sometimes one of them sha..who wasn't?).
The more I think about it, the more I understand his point of view. Life is slowly and steadily going. We are fastly and accurately aging. Every second we live brings us closer to our dying day.
What are you doing now that you are alive? are you sleeping away your life?
"Sleep not in the tent of thy fathers,the world is advancing,
advance with it" anonymous
Please I want to implore you to stop sleeping and start working! time is running out and God expects us to make use of everything He has placed on our inside. We owe Him that much.
Whatever God has given you,He demands that you use and use well. Please start now. Make that call now! If you can sing and do not have money for an album,drop a single,if you do not have enough money for a single,do a recording with a phone,send to wherever,just make sure you look for a way to get your gift out .
If you are a poet,search up for competitions, please make good use of google and watch God expand your horizons to do more for Him.
Some of us are still praying the 'God use me' prayer since God knows when. Have you started doing what He asked you to? How many of His instructions have you obeyed? God wants to use us but we need to obey Him., we need to diligently use the gifts He has given us.
The best way to bring Glory to God is by completing that which He has sent you. That's why Jesus could boldly say on the cross IT IS FINISHED,because He had completed all He had to do.
I hope like Jesus,on our dying bed we'll be able to say IT IS FINISHED and mean it!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
