~~~LABOUR LOSS~~~

*******‘‘…that he may run that readeth it’. Habakkuk 2:2 *******

As revealed in the above article only those whose minds are constantly sharpened, who are not intellectual indolent with mere antecedents of activism, can have the spirit and soul of angels in posterity. When the mind is not intellectually exercised, it loses its soul and goes senile. Whosoever you are now (student, apprentice, employee or employer) that is what I call your immediate and in pursuit of your immediate don’t loose the ultimate (what you can be). Also informed us of the need to read the right literature now,which is the right time. In a time like this, when children are cheated, adults are angry, women are wondering, men are molested, lives are leaking and so on, all we need is not sincerity because people are sincerely destroyed for lack of knowledge but what we need is to read materials that will add value to our lives and we should be selective in building our personal libraries. Better is the end of everything than the begining, so let reason this together (LABOUR LOSS) .

Time is the only thing that is constant to all, it is non stochastic, it is equally given to all human. It is the best yard stick for measuring progress and success. The ability to make judicious use of it is the simplest definition of wisdom. Time is the currency of life. Time is life, with no apology, time wasted is life wasted! My experience during my Pre- degree program in the university made it clear that reading takes time and energy and so it is work. But in all labour there is profit, the level of profit! is determined by you and you in all ramifications.

Reading of literatures that add value to life take more time than reading for examination purpose because it is for a change, it charges time. Hearing of messages: audio, video and VCD of people that matters consume concentration but it all worth it. Remember, Romans 10:17 that says ‘so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word of God’. Hearing seems to demand less than reading but reading is where most treasures are revealed. Reading is important that it was a prerequisite for a king in the Bible (Deuteronomy 17:18-19). Little wonder you belief ‘‘readers are leaders’’. One of those things that make a successful leader is what they know; you need a grasp of the facts and understanding of the factors involved, and a vision for the future. Success in finance for instance is not about luck, clever financing, extreme technology, or running ahead of the pack, it is about applying good proven principles to whatever you do, which are mostly hidden in literature and when you lay hold of it, act it! Don’t stop acting in it, when you read it,breath life into it.Why are there poor professors in our environment? Why is it believed teacher’s reward is in heaven? Why is poverty celebrated amidst the academicis? Why should someone invest years studying economics, business administration, management, accountancy and courses that teaches how-to make wealth and still wallow in abrade poverty? Why, why, why ooh why ???

Reading alone is not sufficient to ignite the success you desire, poverty is not in literature, but people invest time in reading but loose interest in putting it to work. Some years ago, a Scottish doctor named James Young Simpson read Genesis 2:21 ‘And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam…’, so, he said if God could cause Adam to sleep before that glorious surgery then human should not experience pain and high mortality rate during surgical operation. Then he acted on what he read in the Bible and in the university (Edinburgh University) and the result was ‘chloroform’ that cause ‘artificial sleep’ during surgery. What are you doing all you’ve read in the literature? Your world needs you now! People have seen you with literature, they want to see you live in it; it will be a waste of time and resources if you only read it without putting it to work.

There are many stagnate readers, they are worse than those who live by chance. They read and memorize quotable quote but never practice what they read, there lives did not reflect what they read. Don’t you think the time used in reading transformational books is enough reason to work it out? Have you not heard it: ‘For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified’ (Romans 2:13). Imagine a world where every Christian act the Bible, I am sure it will be heaven on Earth.‘And the Lord shall make thee head, and thou shalt not be beneath..’, please, open your Bible and let’s read the conclusive verse together in Deuteronomy 28:13 the prayer above hangs on a condition: ‘…to observe and DO them’. It will be a waste of time if you will not act on what you read or heard. You’ve invested your money and most pecially your precious time, the divident is real. Relate with what you read. James 1:22 acclaim ‘But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves’ When you read literature without meditating on it for action, you deceive yourself.

Good success is real not for few selected people but for as many that will thirst for it, search for it and find it. There is no success without you, your input is required, when you read, rehearse it and be a doer reader. The road to success is narrow but the place called success is wide and can accommodate us all. Practice all you have read, laws of success, how to be the best wife, church growth, purpose, 21 laws of money… and lot more. Without which the Labour to hear or read will be of no profit! Remember, the secret of success and prosperity is in Joshua 1:8. As this article drives to it’s end, please not that, throughout the entire Bible are to be found a number of basic principles of truth, among which is the principle of reading.
