THE TRAGEDY OF A LIFE WITHOUT PATTERN

-

Young man, let me bring this critical issue to your attention again. When you live your life without a patten, you are going to end shapeless and formless. It is tragic to have a life without shape and form. It is sad to be known as anything goes. Really, a man who has no pattern for his life is already putting together a model of shapelessness and formlessness. You may be placing an entire generation linked to you on such dimension of living. It is a great tragedy. Young man, you must grow with a pattern for your thoughts, your business, your relationship and all. You must grow with a definitive you. By implication, you are known with a right pattern of life. You don't jump on anything, anywhere and you can't achieve this by yourself. Indeed, you will really be lost and shapeless by yourself except you give a place for the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit must guide your heart in building a patten of life. Focus, discipline, and sacrificing of urgent and pressing pleasures can not happen naturally to you. You need a continuous relationship with God to maintain those attributes. Those are what builds you into a man with pattern for living. When you have a pattern, you will be formed into the shape of your pattern no matter the challenge you face in moving higher. Once you lack pattern, you can be sure that anything will attract and define you. Joseph had a pattern of life and that was what he became. He has a standard of living. He had a definition of what he was to become and so, his choices were already clear. It was easy to let go of the temptation of the abuser, Mrs Potiphar, because he had format and pattern for living. He was not just living without some guidelines and dictates over himself. Once you fail to have a pattern, be very sure anything will form you and it is certain that you will be shapeless and formless. Reuben had no pattern for his life and could be attracted by anything. He was shapeless and formless to the point of sleeping with his father's wife. His father described him as an unstable man. He was a formless man. He served his younger ones and his generations followed suit. You see, that is the tragedy of a man who lack a definite pattern of life. Be known with a good way of life. Be known with a good heart. Have a definite pattern in raising your children and keeping tabs on all around you. Let your ways be truthful always. Let there be stability in your ways and be friends with godly souls. If you fail to live with definite patten, you can be sure that you have thrown away your chance of ever becoming all that God designed you to be. Join Joseph Jacob and beware of the life of Reuben Jacob. Formlessness and shapelessness are despised by God. Let there be light in your life to give you form and shape. Run away from a life of tragedy by having a pattern for your life.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
