Message
The challenges and obstacles we face in life are not merely tests of our strength but opportunities to prepare us for future battles.
Each battle that we face teaches us important lessons and equips us with the necessary skills and resilience to face future challenges.
We should not shy away from adversity but embrace it as an opportunity for growth and development. By doing so, we can become better equipped to face any battle that may come our way in the future.
One way to deal with challenges and battles and achieve great results over all is to start mastering small and seemingly insignificant tasks.
By consistently putting in effort and attention to detail in everything you do, you will eventually be able to do and accomplish great things in life.
Know that you are more than able. So be prepared. To fail to plan or be prepared is not just a plan to fail but also a plan against self.
Upgrade yourself as u upgrade your kids. Plan your future so you won’t be dependent on your kids. Your kids have their life to live, and the challenges that they face too are enormous as to fully bear yours too .
Bear in mind that life’s fulfilment is beyond money but includes the quality of time spent with your grown-up children and grandchildren. Take this advantage before you expire.
Also, be intentional with your old age plan and execute your strategic plan for it with wisdom. Truth is, men, in particular, seem to cater so much for family that we forget ourselves. Yes, you are fulfilling your primary assignment as working tools, but do not forget you deserve to earn a living at old age.
My brother, don’t forget yourself in the mathematical equation of life. If you do not do it for yourself, someone else may not remember or may not see the importance . You matter a lot!
Now that you are in charge, always put yourself into consideration. Otherwise, you may not find it funny, and there is little you can do later, even if you have the opportunity!
This old age we are talking about is nearer than we think. The earlier you start working it out, the better. The time is now if you agree! Just look at your primary school days. It’s still fresh in your head, just like yesterday, right? That’s exactly how it will look when that old age sets in like a thief in the night. So don’t be caught unaware. To ignore that is to live it in regret.
In sum, life is moving really fast. May God grant us the opportunity to live long in sound health, more wealth, and the required steady peace of mind in Jesus’ name.
Be one with Jesus as life without Him is vanity upon vanity.
