Number Your Days, Don’t Just Count Them!

Young man, allow me to emphasize a crucial principle for fulfilling your purpose: you must learn to number your days, not merely count them. Counting your days is simply acknowledging your age, while numbering them means placing significant value on each passing day. Every day has a name, a goal, and an agenda. It is not just another 24 hours to pass by. Each day contributes to the unfolding story of your destiny. When you number your days, every minute becomes precious, every hour is cherished, and none is wasted on frivolities. You will no longer invest time in meaningless distractions like excessive movies, games, idle talk, or unproductive outings. Instead, you will dedicate your moments to personal growth, spiritual development, and becoming an asset that no one would want to lose. King David prayed, "teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom". He understood that wisdom comes from intentional living. Each day presents an opportunity to write a new c...

The barrenness of Disrespect and Dishonour

Young man, certain doors, once closed by disrespect and dishonor, may never reopen, no matter how fervent the plea for forgiveness. Forgiveness may heal wounds, but it does not always restore lost trust or rekindle opportunities squandered. The choices you make today can carve pathways to greatness or erect barriers to blessings that may never be undone. Wisdom demands reflection and restraint in our actions, for some decisions carry consequences far beyond what is visible in the moment. Esau JACOB's short-sighted decisions closed a door that was never opened even with tears. Driven by hunger, he sold his birthright, his inheritance and spiritual blessing for a single meal. Though he later sought it with tears, the door had closed, and the blessing had passed to his brother Jacob. Esau’s moment of dishonor showed how a single act of disregard for what is sacred can bring about lifelong regret. His story stands as a warning to all who may be tempted to trivialize what is valuable in...

Don’t Be a Samson: A Powerful Man Without Caution

Young man, let me speak to your heart today. You are destined for greatness, but that destiny can be destroyed by reckless decisions. Your ego, if unchecked, can stunt the vast potential God has placed within you. Do not let pride or poor judgment lead to your downfall. Seek wise counsel. Listen to those who have walked the path ahead of you, those with the insight and foresight to guide you. When people stop advising you and leave you to your own devices, take it as a warning sign. It often means you are veering dangerously close to sabotaging God's glorious plans for your life. Be watchful. Samson, though anointed with extraordinary strength and purpose, became a tragic example of power without caution. He ignored the counsel of those who loved him and chose to walk alone. His carelessness, fueled by arrogance, led him into a destructive relationship with Delilah, a woman who ultimately became the instrument of his downfall. He revealed the sacred source of his strength, and with...

Embracing the Process: The Power of Patience and Steady Growth

The real challenge with competing with others is that it can lead you away from your true purpose in life. Young man, focus on staying in your lane. Keep growing and evolving at your own pace. Remember, you are going through a unique phase in your journey, and in God's perfect time, your story will change for the better. Never measure your progress by someone else's speed; speed does not always signify alignment with purpose. God created you with a specific plan in mind. Walk with Him, move at His pace for your life, and you will finish well, receiving both a "WELCOME" and a "WELLDONE!" Don’t be discouraged if your growth isn’t happening as quickly as you’d like. You are still growing, even if you can’t yet fully appreciate how far you’ve come. Be patient with God and remain steadfast in your journey. God has a grand plan for your life, and soon you’ll see the value of the small, consistent steps you’ve been taking over the years. When the change comes, it m...

Never Outgrow Divine Instructions

Young man, let me welcome you to a new year. One major instruction to you today is this: never outgrow Divine Instructions. The moment you fail to seek God or refuse to obey His instructions, you are already heading toward a dangerous end. As you proceed this year, make sure God's word is your delight. Do not violate His instructions, whether they come from His word, through godly elders, or from wise counselors. You don't know the road ahead. You can't fight the battles of life by yourself. You need God all the way. Therefore, follow His counsel and allow Him to lead you. Don't be led by money. Don't be led by positions or the desire for material things. Be led by God, and never outgrow His counsel. The day a man outgrows God's word and instructions, he activates his destruction. How can you, as a young man, keep your way pure? By observing and doing all that God has told you to. You outgrow God's instructions when you refuse to obey Him, when you think obe...
