The Builder

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...

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.

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...

  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...
