Scooping Out The Essence

YOLO!! You Only Live Once.

This is a rather famous saying. 

It is used (if not) by hundreds (scratch that) millions of people on a daily basis. 

We use it when we want to have (little) fun, get a new job, or as motivation to spend more than the usual, and also for other purposes known only to the particular individual and circumstance. 

We all want the amazing pleasures, i.e, exquisite meals, money, power, attention and so many other things, but then we miss the main point - DIFFERENCE.
     
Anyone with determination, dogged focus, and some lil extra can have the same achievements and even more than a basic rich human being, but what makes the difference is ESSENCE. 

What is your essence?, i.e, your inherent nature of being alive, what were you made to solely achieve and engrave on earth? GOD, I interpret that as Go Out Daily. 

We are in this world to solely go out daily, irrespective of where you work, we go out of our blank, uninventive space of our minds and daily work to be inventive, innovative, creative, and exceptional. 

We go out daily.

The number of people dying daily, the shootings and floods, is a reminder for us to ask ourselves - 'so what am I living for'. 

I saw a quote on Instagram that goes thus 'if you realize how people forget the dead quickly... you will stop living your life to impress or please others'.

 This applies to every walk of life. 

We daily live for our bosses, paychecks, CEOs e.t.c. 

But the fact is; if you die tomorrow, you will be replaced no matter the mourning/service of songs observed, it sounds harsh, right? 

Sure it is, whether you want to accept the truth or not.

 It is inevitable and that's why we have to make good use of all that God has given us. 

LIFE waits for nobody- so why not daily be fulfilled, do what your Creator designed you for so that you can look down on earth and say 'I did it, I made my mark'.

Your AMAZING GPA, CREDENTIALS, AWARDS, BUSINESSES, MONEY won't be your pass to eternal life, rather it will be by believing in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour (1 John 5:13).

 If you believe in Him, you will live for Him; you will be a disciple of reconciliation.

God wants us to achieve all things, He definitely makes us wealthy and robust in all good and perfect gifts but not to the detriment of our assignment which is to daily live for Him, win souls and show through our activities that we are Christlike.

2 Corinthians 5:18; And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

WE NEED TO SIT UP AND GOD FOR GOD... 😉😉
