Opportunity and timing

OPPORTUNITY AND TIMING
 I wonder what the event was like in the days of Noah, when the Lord intended to destroy the earth.

Though the bible does not make mention of any conversation that transpired between Noah and other people, but I try to imagine perhaps there were some dramatic scenes on that day.


In case some people attempted or pleaded to be accommodated in the ark when it started to rain and the flood was approaching, how did Noah respond to the people who have rejected God in their hearts?

Could it have been something like? "Hey people! Sorry, it's too late, the door is already shut. You had enough time to consider and heed the call of God but you chose to despise it. As you can see, it's already raining and I was instructed to keep the door open only before the rains."

This event reveals to me that opportunities do not last forever; not even that of salvation. Hence, it is crucial to always know what God wants us to do, when it has to be done and do just that within the appropriate period stipulated for it.

Opportunities expire because they are time fixed. If missed within its availability period, it may never resurface. Though the Lord is a God of another chance, He expects us to make the best use of all divine opportunities we have.

Be Real

"Let your emotions and expressions be true colours of your intentions" Deceit is an act of deceiving. A deceiver is a misleader. Where deception thrives, destruction looms. Deceit is a crooked means to any end. Success may come by deceit but it will neither be honourable nor durable. Whatever is not achieved on the basis of truth is not glorious. Therefore, don't be a deceiver or pretender, face life headlong and make sensible outcomes of it. Great men don't live fake lives, they are rather real.  Pretenders don't maximize potentials. Be true to yourself and live truly. Don't paint an image of whom you are not to others, because time will tell whom you truly are. Hypocrisy will end you up a nonentity. If you truly mean it a business to be great, then you have to approach life with every sense of seriousness and self originality.  You have to be real. Stop living a fake life. As long as you are fake, you can not focus on doing what is required to be...

Digits of Diligence

Image
The wise love work and work diligently. To the wise, work is an opportunity to shine, the fool takes it as a medium of oppression. To be hardworking is to take work seriously and do it well and rapidly. A diligent fellow performs with intense concentration, focus, and responsible regard. Diligence is a way-maker; it paves way for success and open doors for honour. A wise man loves work and works hard. Work is a medium of polishing potentials and proving capabilities. It is an avenue of processing and packaging self for glory. No one becomes great being indolent. There is no substitute to work; inputs determine outputs. Laziness is an attribute of foolishness. A fool thinks that luck can replace hard work. No! The wise work hard and wishes for luck for a nice outcome. The wise know that there is no harvest without completing the processes of plantation. Diligence is a personal responsibility which is developed and sustained by discipline. Discipline is indispensable. The wis...

Discernment For Direction

Image
"Discernment is essential for gaining direction and making guided decisions." The advent of a special or new season is often heralded by quiet yet significant events, unusual challenges (including temptations), and seemingly lonely exposures. Navigating this phase requires cultivating a regulated mind in solitude and developing sensitivity to discern divine intentions and directives. This discernment is crucial for identifying the necessary consecrations and sacrifices required to successfully transition from an old season to a new level of glory. #Discernment #Sensitivity #WisdomForLife #PurposefulLiving
