Jesus whilst He was barely 12 years old asked His parents, “Don’t you know I must be about My Father’s business?” I am not surprised that before His crucifixion at 33, He had achieved a record that nobody can break till the end comes.
It is not that many of us are not determined enough; it is just that we lack decisions that prompt actions. We dream and procrastinate. We fantasize on lofty ideas without making any move – and a good idea without a corresponding action is as good as nothing.
A man who decides to be in Lagos Island by 8 am and set on a journey by 5 am will not only meet-up with his appointments, he will also return home on time. His endeavour for the day will be better than that of the man who is contemplating whether to go or not – who may find an excuse in the weather or traffic.
What have you been pushing aside? You may not have the capabilities to start a big venture for now but you can still do a small venture in a big way. For example, if your plan is to pastor a mega-church – and the reality seems to be far away. Tomorrow morning, preach in the bus on your way to work or go to the nearest park and talk to the people there. Don’t forget that God actually promises, “If you get to the crossroad and you don’t know the next turn to take, you will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk in it.” He didn’t say, ‘Sit down and pray until you have clear understanding of the way to follow.’
Stop chasing nuggets ... being rich is not being fulfilled. Your future lies in your dream. Your prosperity is determined by the potency of your decisions. You are where you are at this moment because of the decisions you made in the past and you may still be in the same position if you do not make a progressive decision today.
The Bible is a comprehensive book comprising the stories of ordinary people like me and you performing extraordinary feats. Your life begins now but you’ve got to make a drastic decision NOW !
Before you sleep tonight ...
List all the things you have been shoving aside
Write your plans for tomorrow and put a time limit on each
Think about an easiest way to get yourself on the track for greatness.
May the Lord bless your mind in the mighty name of Jesus >>> Yomi-Abayomi
