Remember now thy Creator in
the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; (KJV)
I often wondered why a 65 years
old man was a gate-man for a 25 years old lady. The question I ask myself is was
this GOD’S divine destiny for him. But then I found out that most people live
and die without fulfilling their destinies. When you look carefully at the old man,
you would see that he was the architect of his own downfall. When he was younger,
he was among the group of boys that went clubbing at 11pm, went after prostitutes,
paid his way through school and worst of all, when the gospel was preached to
him by his mates, he would turn round and call them fools. You may say, “His
parents were responsible since they didn’t bring him up in the right
environment”. That is true, but your parents are responsible for your birth, but
you are responsible for the decisions you make in life. GOD is so merciful that
HE gave us the power to choose right from wrong. Better still, HE gave us HIS
word to show us the right way to go. If a man will accept the gospel and live
by it, the gospel will make him successful. One of the characteristics of this
gospel that I boldly declare is that no matter where you might have come from, if
you would give it attention, it would doubtlessly make you a success. Two orange
trees were planted in different years. One was planted in the year 2000. The
other was planted in 2009, a strong wind blew in 2010. The tree that was
planted earlier withstood the wind but the one that was planted later was uprooted,
this is what the teacher was communicating when he said remember “thy creator
in d days of thy youth”. I am not a fool when you see me spending my money
buying Christian materials or sowing seeds in church or waking up at night to
pray. NO! I have chosen to let the word of GOD prevail in my life because that
is the only true foundation. Life is an examination. The examiner is GOD. The textbook
is the bible. He that is bound for failure is he that doesn’t read his textbook.
So my fellow Associates, don’t feel bad when it seems like your friends who are
unbelievers are succeeding and you are not. The fact that another is succeeding
and you are not doesn’t imply that you are a failure. The Unbeliever’s life is
like a life of addition while ours is like a life of multiplication. Take for
instance: 1 + 1 = 2, 1*1=1… The unbeliever looks ahead of us, 2+2=4, 2*2=4… It’s
like we are on the same level… 3+3=6, 3*3=9…. We have overtook them…. What a
Life!!!!
In fact, let me tell you a
secret. Anyone who didn’t succeed through the word is heading for failure. Real
success is with GOD. My friends who are yet to give their hearts to GOD, I have
1 question for you. What are you waiting for? My friends JESUS IS THE WAY, THE
TRUTH AND THE LIFE. COME TO HIM NOW AS YOU ARE, AND WATCH YOUR LIFE MOVE FROM
GLORY TO GLORY. HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN GIVE TRUE AND LONG LASTING JOY, PEACE
AND SATISFACTION TO YOUR LIFE. Remain Blessed
