Hi people.
I know, I know. It's been a while. Like a friend once wrote some years back; "Life's been deeper than rap for me" in recent times. But I think it's a more positive than a negative depth though...Either-way, please forgive my busy-ness dear folks.
Before i begin, let me give you my word that this will not be a lengthy post (to be honest, as i type right now, I'm not 80% certain i can keep this promise). However, if it starts seeming unlikely for me to stick to this as we go along, I'll just delete this part. :D
Okay, basically, I'm sure majority of us know what goals are. And if there were people who didn't know the dictionary definition, i'm almost certain that hasn't stopped them from setting one goal or the other at some point. Now if you're going to set a goal, then it's safe to assume that if the desire to accomplish it is really there, you'd come up with a working strategy that's geared towards attaining it. Beyond planning and strategizing, you'd begin to actively work out and implement in reality, what has been plotted on paper.
It's pretty simple right?
But then, as effective and useful as this simple process is, many people neglect to use it. Instead, their
cycle looks something like this; 1. I have this goal i want to attain. 2. I have no idea what the best way to attain it is. 3. I take absolutely no reasonable action towards the attainment of this goal. 4. I expect the goal to be attained.
Wow. *Claps hands* Nice one.
See it takes a lot more than 'wanting' to get things done. As the well known saying goes; 'Pursuit is the proof of desire.' It's about time we got off those hypothetical high horses and got active.
It's not enough to wish this generation were better trained and less immoral. (Proverbs 22:6)
It's not enough to cuss out your leaders and sentence your country to doom. (1Timothy2:1-3)
It's not enough to wear the title 'Christian' like a head warmer. (Colossians 1:10)
It's not enough to sit wishing for the perfect partner/buckets of money/a good name. (Matthew 6:33)
It's not enough to keep needing, nor to keep wanting, nor to keep getting. (Luke 6:38)
It's not enough to be a 'good doer' or 'good person' or 'responsible citizen'. (Romans 10:9-10)
It's not enough to know the problem and hope for a better tomorrow. (James 2:14-26)
It's not about being good enough or giving it your best shot. It's about knowing who is, understanding that He is your best shot, choosing Him and doing what He wills. <2 Corinthians 12:9-10>
That's what you do when nothing less can truly get things done.

P.s: I kept my promise! ^_^
