When you get to a certain age, you need to tell yourself the
truth. You need to define what you stand for. At 23, you are no longer a
baby. You need to sit down and think
like an adult. Most people usually get mature early in life, and a person of 20
or even 18years of age would be the one to think and act right to the extent
that a 27 or 28 years old cannot.
Although age is nothing but mere number, you need to clearly
define your goal in life and what you stand for. If you are single or married, you need to come off that childish nature you
always had especially during High school days and College days.
The reason why most single people never see themselves ready
for anything serious, is because they
are not ready to be serious. So, if you are
single or married, and still in your early 20’s or late 20’s you need to apply
this strategy in your life
1.
KNOW YOUR LIMIT: Knowing your limit may mean anything to you
and something else to another. Here, you need to act and think.
At 23, you need to select your friends
wisely. Friends that add value to you and not the other way round. A friend who
still introduces you to several men or women you should have sexual intercourse
with is not a friend. A friend who still uses dirty slang or dirty
language is not the kind of friend you
should keep. If you are still single, you need to act mature and prepare to
take responsibility.
No man would want a child for a wife
because she is not yet matured for the responsibility that comes with marriage.
So right now, from today, choose the right friends.
2.
TAKE JESUS SERIOUS: When you come of age,
you need to stop playing church. Many people were born into a Christian home
and for that reason, they play church without truly surrendering to God. Here,
you need to ask God for mercy and begin to work with Him.
God doesn’t bother people who are not ready
to obey; but the very day you begin to seek His face, He begins a new walk in
your life.
Find a bible believing church and become
serious there. If you ask me, I would prefer you join a department in your
local assembly. Join the choir, decoration team, protocol team or departments
you know you can function so well.
Everything about life is more spiritual
than you think. To get married, you need to truly be in Christ and seek
revelation so you won’t marry the wrong man or woman. Everything in life is
about Jesus so you need Him.
3.
SPEND WISELY:
This aspect is as important as having Jesus. If you are one who still
spend carelessly, you need to have a rethink. I usually tell people, If you
cannot manage your finances, you cannot manage a home.
Buying a cloth, shoe, wrist watches or
gadget is good, but if it is not what
you need most at a particular point, I don’t think you need it. Apart from my
calling as a pastor, I spent four (4)years
in the university studying finance and banking and I’m proud of it; though i still study further, that
doesn’t exclude me from spending wisely. Please NOTE that there is a big
difference between being STINGY and spending WISELY. When you can manage your
finances properly, most things you go through today would become minimized.
4.
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE PURPOSE?: You need to ask
yourself each day what your purpose is in life. Most people attend school not
knowing why they are attending. If you ask them what next after school, they
would say work with a leading company and earn good pay.
Working with a leading company is not a bad
thing, but you need to define your original purpose for creation. You were not
just born to Attend School, Work, Get Married, Retire and Die. You were born for
a purpose and that purpose is what you need to ask God to reveal to you. A man
without a purpose in life is as good as a dead man. Life is worthless if you
lack purpose and focus.
If you follow this step from top to the last,
I believe soon you’ll have a reason to call me and
