AS LONG AS THE BOOK IS CLOSED, THE STRUGGLE  CONTINUES. “When purpose is not discovered, living becomes nothing but a struggle for survival” — Olakunle Orimaye Paul Life is meant to be lived not endured. The earlier you understand this, the better it is for you. Life is not just about going to school, getting a degree, getting a job, marrying, retiring and dying. T his is actually the orientation of many of us  but, life is more than that. There’s more to life than just waking up, going to work, coming back and going back again the next day. When one’s life is reduced to mere activities, the result is that one lives to survive and not to fulfill destiny. What then does it mean to really live? How can you live not to survive but to fulfill destiny? The answer can be derived from Rev. 5:4.  “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.   And I wept much, because...

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY  In life, everyone is in the race to be successful, to live a life that is meaningful and great. There is no doubt, we all want to be successful in our various endeavors. As good as this is, they do not, however, just come to us on a platter of gold. If riches were horses, they say, beggars would ride. There are some things that we must not only understand, but also engage, in order for us to be able to achieve our God given goals, become what we aspire to become and fulfill the purpose of God for our lives.

UNDERSTANDING THE ESSENCE OF TIME . When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse, they say, is inevitable. The effective use of anything, whatsoever, is a function of a proper understanding of its purpose. When the essential functions of a thing is not properly understood, at least, to a considerable extent, not only will one underutilize the potentials of the thing, but also abuse it greatly. One thing that God has so much bless humanity with is, “TIME”. Time is a universal commodity, as we usually say, and of course that’s truth. It is like a universal currency of the same value given to everyone freely. Another thing we need to understand about time is that it is a very critical factor to success in life. Without a proper understanding of the essence of time, one can hardly achieve anything worthwhile in life, as far as time is very much concerned. Doesn’t it interest us to know that the same 24 hours given to a very rich successful man is the same given to one is not ...
