CHRONOS AND KAIROS

We all have the same amount of time given to us in a day. Both the rich and the poor have the same seconds, minutes and hours in a day. The correct usage of time is a major factor that differentiate successful people from unsuccessful people.  Chronos refers to the measured, continuous time. It is the forward moving time which is measured as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. Kairos on the other hand means the right or opportune time, a defining moment. What we do with our chronos determines what will happen to us in a Kairos moments. Most young people dream of how they will become successful one day without using their everyday (chronos )to prepare for that one day (Kairos). It is said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  Let me explain with this analogy. Students will be very familiar with this. Most students in the course of the semester do not really prepare for the exams they will be writing at the end of the semester. They use their chro...

THE LAW OF ASSOCIATION.

Image
One of the easiest way to rise or plateau in destiny is through associations. And one of the things that define us is the kind of people we have within our circle of influence. You've probably heard the saying that "you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with". Your circle of influence defines how your life is and going to be. There is no way you will be surrounded by people with a corrupted mindset and ideology and expect your life to be different from theirs. It is against the principle of induction. In magnetism, there is a principle by which a magnetic material can be made into a magnet and that is by attaching the magnetic material to a magnet. Even though the magnetic material isn't a magnet but it can act as a magnet by reason of it being attached to the magnet. The magnet induces its magnetic properties into it which makes it behave exactly as a magnet. This same principle also works in our association with others. The kind of people...

WHO IS YOUR GAIUS?

Image
  Every great destiny needs a "Gaius" for it's manifestation. I'm yet to see anyone who is excelling in a particular field without a "Gaius" in his or her life. A "Gaius" in this case is a mentor, a coach, a builder, a shaper of destiny. You've probably watched the classic movie Merlin. In the season one episode one, the mother of Merlin realized that her Son was destined for greatness. So she had to take him from his environment to another environment where he can be mentored properly for his destiny to be actualized. So she sent him to Gaius. Gaius received Merlin and discovered about him that though he's so much gifted but he uses his gift very foolishly; something that could lead to his death. Gaius then begun to shape Merlin, helped him to discover the purpose of his giftings and how to use his gift wisely. Gaius finally gave Merlin a book with seals that contains all the secrets on how to use his gift purposefully and effectively. Ima...

DECISIONS DECIDE DESTINY

Image
Decisions are very powerful in the sense that the quality of ours lives can mostly be traced to the kinds of decisions we often make. Decisions are actually vehicles that carry us from a particular level in life to a different destination (consequence). Your current level in life is a report card of the compound effect of all decisions you made in life so far. Midwifing your current level and the glorious destiny you always think of is the quality of decisions you make momentarily. God has prepared each of us for greatness but only few people will lay hold on that which was written about them through the making of quality decisions. Your destiny coming true has a lot to do with your daily decisions and choices. According to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will continue to be at rest or in a uniform motion unless there is an external force acting on it. Similarly, any situation will remain unchanged unless a decision is made to act upon it.   The law of cause and effect al...

NO CONTRIBUTION, NO CHOP.

Image
  Growing up as a child, this was our principle whenever we were joining our monies together for a small party. Whoever contributed in cash or kind received a share of whatever we prepared in an exact proportion of whatever was contributed. On the other hand, anyone who didn't contribute anything gets nothing at the end. I've come to understand that this principle wasn't just a principle for our small parties but an underlying principle that works in life too. Your contribution is the value you render to humanity to make lives better. The problems you are able to solve for people to make the world a better place. The principle of no contribution, no chop is that, anyone who doesn't contribute anything to the betterment of the society will have no monetary reward at the end of the day to "chop". On the other hand, people who always contribute to the betterment of the society will always have monetary reward at the end of the day. The greatest remedy to a life o...

YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR LIFE.

Image
  One of the greatest assets God ever gave man is the mind. The mind, when engaged and used properly can produce tremendous results in the life of an individual, the opposite is the same too. You're a sum total of the most predominant thoughts in your mind. The things that occupy your mind most is what defines your physical reality because as within, so without. Whatever that enters into the mind, comes out in a life. Everything is created twice, first in the mind before the manifestation of the physical equivalence of that which has already been conceived in the mind. Everything we see in our world today was first a thought conceived in the mind of a person before manifesting. All great inventions like the airplane, submarine, rockets, Internet etc were all thoughts in the mind of the inventors. It sounds easy but powerful. Your current level in life; being it financially, relationally, health wise, career wise, spiritually etc is directly proportional to your mind-settings (minds...

QUANTUM LEAP THROUGH KNOWLEDGE

Image
The desire of everyone is this life is to make progress from one level to the other. People become very upset when they stay at a particular level for so long without making any significant progress in their lives. But we mostly forget that making quantum leaps in destiny is possible. We were not made to journey in circles. There are ways we can wave our current level goodbye forever and move on to a higher one. One of the ways is through knowledge. As easy as it may sound, knowledge is so powerful that it can take a person to unimaginable levels in destiny. Knowledge is often seen as a necessity for achieving great things in life because it provides the foundation for understanding, decision-making, and innovation Something you know or you don't know is what is responsible for your current situation.Your current level is a true reflection of the quality of information you have now. The book Hosea says "For the lack of knowledge, my people perish". Most people who are not...
