Time management

TIME MANAGEMENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT IT


Brethren, I’m not here to make placatory gestures, so, don’t expect my analysis to be submissive. Rather, I’m here to present nothing but the fact, thus, I must be frank in my deposition. It would benefit me nothing to back the truth and embrace fallacy in order to please my beloved friends and fans. Honestly, I was called for this job, and my paramount interest is to continue pleasing He who sent me. Any of His calls remains a priority to me. All my initiatives are attributable to His sole inspiration or divine making. Therefore, they should be dedicated to Him alone. And, if such fact holds, then I would stop at nothing to say whatever I was directed or assigned to say. No two ways about it; else I should be blamed for whatever rot that befalls me in respect to withholding the fact.

In any context you may be perceiving it, time remains “time”. It’s as old as the world. From my view, it remains the oldest factor or tool in the world. It was the only factor that was obeyed by the “Almighty” during the world’s creation. Yes, the world was created in respect to time. It’s continually cited that, the only constant thing in life is “change”. In the same vein, the only factor that controls change or transition is time. This means, change highly depends on time. In other words, time is hyper-constant since it’s the only tool that controls the only constant factor on earth. One Popular Nigerian musician, Mike Okiri, once sang “ Time na money”. In the content of the song, he went further to preach to the world to stop playing with their time by tagging it as the only thing that could ascertain the desires of one’s mind, heart or soul. I bet you, most musicians are born evangelists because they preach the gospel in the fullness.

Most people spend the whole of their time in the church, all in the name of seeking for survival, successes or abundant blessings. Some spend the whole hours in a day reading the holy writ in the name of attaining salvation. Some, mostly the house wives, spend the whole days in a week gossiping; still, this set of people can’t work on their talents to ensure that they introduce gossip columns in various newspapers or magazines in Nigeria. After all, all the notable comedians in the country started like that. And today, they are very useful to the society. The most pathetic part of the above practices is that some of these persons that spend almost all their time in the church do so for the sake of their anticipated success in their various forth coming exams. I wonder if God would come down to sit for the exams on their behalf. Why should people continue living in total ignorance coupled with extreme blindness? Yet, they can’t even obtain deliverance from the churches in question. How can a candidate for a certain exam willingly create a concrete disparity between him and the exam? Or, is it part of the miracle that happened in Canaan, Judea or Jerusalem?

Let me make it clear to you; before Christ fed the five thousand people with thousands of fishes and bread, He was presented with a few pieces/copies of fishes and bread. In the same vain, before providing abundant wine for the wedding that took place at Canaan, He was provided with surplus water by those in need of the wine. Even, before Christ healed the blind during the Pentecost day, prior to His arrival at the point of the deliverance, the blind man was already seated at the stipulated venue. Does it imply that, there weren’t churches available then? Above all, before Zaccheus was delivered from his iniquities, he made tremendous personal effort to ensure that he has a direct contact with Christ. Despite the crowd coupled with his height, Christ was able to see him because he (Zaccheus) swallowed his pride and humbly climbed the tree. So, he sought and worked for salvation, and he embraced it.

Brethren, at this juncture I wish to ask, what do you use your time for; where do you utilize it, and how do you manage it? Most people arrive at meeting arena two hours after the scheduled time. They have succeeded in tagging (calling) it “African time”. If I may ask, do Africa has its own time? Has she (Africa) succeeded in personalizing the tool (time) which remains the only common factor on earth? Brethren, wake up! Hour of deliverance.

Even, before one could boast of been a prolific writer, he/she must had read hundreds or thousands of books/journals. To be known as a writer, you must have been a reader for years. Read my lips. Reading would broaden your mind and consequently enable you to write, say or do something comfortably and adequately. Therefore, writing is a subject of reading. Though, the reverse also holds. And, this only depends on time. Honestly, ‘time’ is dependable.

To be honest, many have died due to lack of time management. Thousands of people have been paralyzed or deformed, both spiritually and physically, as a result of the above. We must work collectively to eradicate the societal cankerworm causing this social emaciation. And, the time to act is now!
