The Night Is Coming

"There's a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?" John 6:9 NLT.

Are you a young man with just very little capital that's not even enough to start up a business that you so much desire? Or are you also an elderly who has what is needed to start up a business, but lack manpower? As a matter of fact, Jesus has solved it already, its just for us to realize this and get started with that plan.

Actually, the matter with most of us is that we have this great idea that is enough to make us wealthy up to our fifth generation, but we are waiting for that moment when we would just wake up and someone would tell us we have become the CEO. Sincerely, it doesn't work that way. I'm still in my late teenage years, but if there's anything I have learned through my personal experiences, it is that those who start small and insignificantly are those who are more likely to excel and SUSTAIN their achievements.

The word 'sustain' is intentionally in capital letters, because, just about anybody can excel, but it takes the diligent and experienced to sustain excellence. So, back to the young lad who had 5 barley loaves and 2 fish that fed over five thousand. I can tell you it wasn't magic that was performed, it was a miracle, and that's why we have not been able to make thousands out of our little. We expect it happen magically, no, I'm sorry it won't.

"Philip replied, 'Even if we worked for months, we wouldn't have enough money to feed them!" John 6:7. Is that what your mindset is like? Do you usually give up even before ever starting?

Jesus is saying to you today, "Tell everyone to sit down" John 6:10. With that little you have, put down your plans. "Then Jesus took the loaves"... -You too can take up that little that's available to you- "gave thanks to God"- you also should give thanks to God- "and distributed them to the people"- and you should commence work on that great idea, yourself.

The bible didn't say, the disciples distributed it, what they gathered were the leftovers, Jesus distributed them to the people by Himself. So start work on it by-your-self! Has Jesus spoken to you today, if yes, take up your pen right now, and start working on it. Don't wait till when you are gonna have it big before you begin, trust me, that time ain't coming.

"The night is coming, and then no one can work." John 9:4B. Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

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...
