NOW OR NEVER?   


The word ‘NOW’ is in present form. It means now or present time or moment.
Now is now, it’s neither past nor future. It’s never yesterday or tomorrow. It’s always today and it’s now. It’s neither two hours nor minutes ago- it’s now.
Before I proceed I’ll like to start by reading some texts which will put into context what I’m going to say today.

Ecclesiastes11:4 He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regarded the clouds shall not reap.

2corinthians6:2 for he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Often times I’ve seen people waiting for the right time to take a specific action or rather to step out for something significant. I’ve discovered, however, that these folks had waited for so long and are still waiting. I’d also fallen victim at a time in my life. During my undergraduate year I had flair for guitar. Then, my thought was to learn how to play it probably when I have much time. 

Two hundred level, three hundred level past even till I graduated, I never had much time to learn how to play guitar.
Why? I was waiting for the right time, the time that I would be less busy. But that kind of right time never come. Many are like that, it’s either they are waiting for the right time or probably till they get all the resources before they will start doing something.
How long they’ve been waiting only God knows.

The scriptural reference we consider in Ecclesiastes 11:4 stated clearly that if we consider weather we will not do anything.
Live your best life NOW
Sing your best song NOW
There’s no better time to start than NOW.

If there’s anything that helps me to understand mathematics, I think it would be the quote I came across in Merriam Webster dictionary in my secondary school days. It says;

“Never leave till tomorrow what you supposed to do today. Because leaving it till the next day makes it to be more difficult.” Since I came across the quote I never leave any problem unsolved in mathematics. If you don’t do what you are supposed to do today it will be a problem tomorrow.

What I’m saying in essence, you’ve postponed enough, procrastinated enough, start doing something NOW.
Are you waiting for the perfect time to step out for your dream, there won’t be any perfect time. And so you have to start taking action now. It’ll be a misplaced priority for you to be waiting till the time you are more mature before you take a step. Mothers and sisters you are not too young. I bet if you are still waiting, you can find yourself in the other world without achieving anything here.

 Usain Bolt said, as a child I dreamed. But I stopped dreaming and started doing. Because it’s the power of doing that makes dreams happen.
Perhaps you are waiting for the approval of men before you take action. I bet to disagree with you because you won’t get any approval until they see your lime light.
You’ve waited so long, you have to start doing something NOW.
You’ve dreamed so long, you need to start doing something to make your dream real. Else it remain a dream.

Let me end with this Chinese proverb:

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, the second best time to plant is now.

Till we meet next term. keep being you.

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply.  When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t.  When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...

I PROPOSED A DECEIT

I was born when the time was still partially measured by the throaty crow of the cocks. When if cock refuses to crow, the time was measured by the height of shadow.  I can still very much remember how my father would say the time is three o'clock in the afternoon because the shadow had reached a certain height on the wall in our backyard. Sometimes I was wowed at the level of his intelligence.  He didn't mark that particular spot on the wall and he never for once missed it. I tried doing but kept on missing it. Then, I used charcoal to Mark it. Isn't beautiful to say I also measured time by the height of shadow? Winks.  My father was a farmer and partially a hunter. He was very diligent and good at what he does. He had cocoa, cola nut, plantain, yam, maize, cowpea, and rice farms. He was rich in goats, and different kinds of fowls. Apart from the fact that he uses labor we the children were also part of the labors employ on his farm.  We worked all ye...

THE MYTH OF AN AFRICA AKEE: NUTRITIOUS BUT POISONOUS

Dear friends You have mountains to climb  You have missions to accomplish Shining brighter is your bulb Don't give your strength to that which perish Never fall for alluring hips You have land and nation to conquer Waste not your time conquering hips As a result, many lives have been shattered Your friends might have told you it's love Maybe not the one from above What you desire is that which you have seen The contour, the butt, curves, and the breasts  Love that robs you of value Hear this my humble truth This is lust after her many assets I can see that big butts, breasts et al are all set Before you climb this mountain Why not ask if the time is riped Because it's like an African akee Nutritious but poisonous if it's not *Footnote  The right timing is very important whatever we are doing. Before you take any action be patient enough  ask yourself if the timing is right or not. ©OdunayoSam.
