Better management, produces a better life
The Bible says:
Matt. 25:1-10.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Because You’re too LOADED
You cannot afford to mismanage your life. Those young virgins in the story mismanaged their time by not being prepared when a great opportunity arose.
You have been given the gift of life, with the many amazing qualities you have. You have not even began to explore some yet, maybe you don’t even know they’re there yet.
Please don’t do what I did when I was young and mismanage time.
When we’re young we think we have all the time in the world, but that time goes very quickly and if you don’t use it wisely.
Many people get to age 30, 40 and 50 and realise they have mismanaged their time. They have not spent adequate time on what matters. 1) Their relationship with God 2) Their family 3) Developing their skills and talents so they can enjoy a successful life, in all areas.
Friends are important and God uses people in our lives for so many different reasons. But ultimately they can come and go. Many friends are only in our lives for a season. Very few are there from primary until old age. So we enjoy them while you can, the good ones that is.
Nowadays, it’s much easier to keep friends in our lives due to social media etc, but it’s also too easy to keep not so good ones.
Anyway, I’m going off track now.😊
Back to management: Manage your time so you can also place focus on those things that will make your future great! It doesn’t matter how old you are, money management is important, learn the skills to make money and keep it working for you. People management is so important, but you are the first person you must learn to manage! Think about that!
Your future is great, learn management skills to maximise it and don’t say you have time. Get a good book on management skills, watch a few YouTube videos of people like John C Maxwell, (a good place to start) those who are management gurus.
Be committed to doing something everyday at the same time that is going to give you a great future.
I start my day with a live prayer and short service for 1 hour, then physical exercise 30 minutes, then I go onto business training for 30 minutes, then ministry project for 1 hour, by 8am I feel very accomplished already!
My only regret; That I wasn’t told and didn’t learn the habits of management years earlier!
You’ve got this, I want to see you succeed.
Much love in the Lord.
Your friend
