I am sure at one time or the other, you have heard
the saying that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. I have never had the
opportunity and I am not sure I would ever have that opportunity to come in
contact with someone who doesn’t desire success. The student wants to be
successful; the entrepreneur wants to succeed; the career man/woman wants to
also succeed.
However, one thing about success that I have seen is
that it is not a product of your wish, it is a product of your actions and
inactions. I tell people that, if you can show me your daily routine, I would
be 90% correct in predicting if you would ever be successful or not. One of the
things that successful people do is that they have their days planned.
Our Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ, knew where to be
at every point in time. In Matt 12, Jesus was preaching when His mother showed
up to see Him. Ordinarily, one would have thought He would stop preaching and
go see them, but He didn’t because He understood that there might not be a
second chance to talk to that same set of people ever again.
Do you want to be successful? Check what you do
every day? If you like hanging out with friends’ more than taking time out with
the word of God and discussing with the Holy Ghost, may you not die wishing you
were successful. There is what to do at every point in time; a time to play and
a time to work; a time to gist and time to think.
Sir, there are many distractions; TV; Blackberry;
friends; Phones; Games; etc. The thing is these distractions are living their
lives, so why allow them stop you from living yours? Deliberately eradicate all
distractions even if it means losing friends. Bible says let every man run the
race before him. It is your destiny and not our destiny.
Enjoy your Sunday service.
