There Is Time For Everything

-

The book of Ecclesiastes is a book I've come to fall in love with over time, and I call it my "Refuge Book". Actually Ecclesiastes is a book that was written by someone who has wealth, I mean W-E-A-L-T-H. So, for a wealthy man to say "there is time for everything", then indeed, there is time for everything, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

In the real sense of life, there are so many times that we might wonder why we weren't some other persons or why we were born into the family we presently find ourselves. Earlier in my 'teenagehood', I wanted to be so many people all at the same time. I wanted to be a model, an actress, a dancer, a journalist, a newscaster, a TV presenter or to feature in a TV commercial, a lawyer, and an oil and gas exporter, lol. I'm sure it wasn't just me, almost every teenager goes through that phase. Then later, my wish moved on to being President Barrack Obama's daughter, or any other highly respectable dignitary's daughter. Seriously, Lord please forgive every teenager of this selfish and ungrateful wish.

The thing is, sweetheart, there is a time for everything in life. For everyone that you see excelling at this time, it is because it is their time. When your time of excellence comes, nothing would stop you, so stop being sad about who you are right now. For instance, when I was in high school, some of my mates then were already using a blackberry phone, and I was quite sad about my Nokia, but when my time to use a blackberry came by, nothing stopped it from happening (It has come and gone tho, waiting for my time to use an iPhone6, lol).

King Solomon writing Ecclesiastes is just like President Barrack Obama writing a book to tell us there is time for everything. Believe it and just let it be. What will be, always will be, so wait for your time. Wait for your time to become the President of your world. Wait for your time to get married before you start having s*x. Wait for your time to graduate, have kids, have wealth. And most importantly, wait for your time to meet Jesus in Heaven, do not commit suicide.

In other words, do not artificially do things to hasten your time to come, let it come itself. I pray for patience upon every of our lives in Jesus Name.
Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
