LOVE

The greatest use of life is LOVE,
The greatest expression of love is TIME,
And the greatest time to love is NOW,
Because you may not have that opportunity TOMORROW.
The love of God is like an ocean, you can see its beginning, but not it’s END…...
It is therefore imperative for everyone to INSTALL LOVE in his or her heart today. Here is how to go about it:-

Client: Sir, I wish to INSTALL LOVE in my Heart

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to connect to other Hearts in order to get upgrades.

Client: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error – Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to begin to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Client: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive Self, Realize your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Client: Okay, done

Tech Support: Now copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also you need to delete Verbose Self Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Client: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over my Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually, everyone gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Client: Thank you God for this opportunity to Love.

SALIENT POINTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EARTHLY SOJOURN

1)Pray-Prayer is basically, talking to your maker and believing Him for an answer. It involves various modules but can be summarized under the following headings:- Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship, Supplications, Intercessions etc. It is a dynamic process and should be specially cultivated in ones earthly journey. A WALK WITH GOD is a sine qua non for a successful earthly sojourn.

2)Go to bed on time – Retiring to bed at a regular time everyday and making sure that your body is fully rested for nothing less than four to six hours every night will ensure longevity and less tendency to develop a high blood pressure.

3)Get up on time so you can start the day fresh and unrushed. This is a natural follow up to 2 above.

4)Say No to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule or that will compromise your mental health. Learning to say NO firmly is crucial to successful living.

5)Delegate tasks to capable hands. Being unable to master this aspect of living is what leads in most cases to physical and mental breakdowns.

6)Simplify and unclutter your life. Learning to do this, demystify's life complexities.

7)Less is more (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many). This is self explanatory.

8)Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. Learning good time management is a must, if you are to succeed in your day to day earthly tasks.

9)Space yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time, don’t lump the hard things all together. Learn to have fun doing the things you do; even when they are difficult.

10)Take one day at a time. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. This is one of the basic principles necessary to reducing stress in one's earthly existence.

(Matthew 6:34)

11)Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can’t do anything about a situation, forget it. Most times after so many days, weeks , months the solution suddenly pops up without stress.

12)Live within your budget; don’t use credit cards for ordinary purchases. Learning to do this gives a lot of peace and builds self confidence.

13)Ensure you have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, etc. This is very helpful in overcoming unexpected situations and accidents.

14)K.Y.M.S. (Keep Your Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. Obeying this injunction gives a lot of peace and tranquility even in this “jet” age.

15)Do something for the child in you everyday. Don't fail to give yourself a treat ever so often.

16)Carry something inspirational with you to read while waiting in line. This continually keeps your mind in a motivational gear always and does not allow idle negative thoughts to take root on the “soil” of your mind.

17)Get enough rest. This cannot be over emphasized, as it is a great key to healthy living.

18)Eat right. Learning the basics of healthy eating habits prolongs life and makes it more enjoyable.

19)Get organized; so everything has its place. Putting round pegs in round holes and square pegs in square holes gives life a beautiful meaning.

20)Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. This also helps cultivate your mind in the right direction and perspective.

21)Write down thoughts and inspiration. Reviewing them later, builds your personality and improves your self confidence to achieving unimaginable goals.

22)Everyday, find time to be alone. This allows you to appreciate the Almighty Creator of the universe more and see yourself in the light of being beautifully and wonderfully made. Appreciate your uniqueness in the scheme of things and the fact that no one is exactly like you. YOU ARE UNIQUE. Your finger print proves it.

23)Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don’t wait until it’s time to go to bed to try to pray. You are likely to forget to pray about it before sleeping and the problem may continue to gather momentum in your subconscious and can evolve itself into a “tornado” when it will finally “burst” into your consciousness. Do not create a "storm" in a "tea cup".

24)Make friends with Godly people. They help stabilize your life and help you experience “peace like a river”.

25)Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand. The word is your sword for daily living and being knowledgeable in it, is to your advantage.

26)Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you God” and a good nights sleep.

27)Laugh. There is no better anecdote to cure daily earthly stress.

28)Laugh some more! Overdose! It'll do you a lot of good, not to worry.

29)Take your work seriously, but yourself not at all. Learn to prioritize your duties.

30)Develop a forgiving attitude. (Some people are doing the best they can and you must learn to be as accommodating as possible). Doing this also brings a lot of peace.

31)Be kind to unkind people. (They probably need it the most). You can't go wrong once you've learnt to cultivate this attitude.

32)Sit on your Ego and if possible suffocate it to “death”.

33)Talk less; but be a good listener. You may not gain more friends but you are certainly less likely to make enemies.

34)Slow down. Learn to control the “JET AGE” syndrome.

35)Remind yourself you are not the General Manager of the Universe. Even the Creator of The Universe instructs you to have rest, one in seven.

36)Every night before bed, think of one thing you are grateful for, that you’ve never been grateful for before and give Thanks to the Almighty God. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Rom.8:31).

Be happy and Thankful always.

Time : Your Currency of Life

The ability to maximize and prioritize the use of available time is a major factor to success upon this earthly plane which is time dependent.

You and I, are the sum total of what we spend our time on. Our earthly existence from day to day is twenty four (24) hours dependent; meaning no matter which place we are upon the surface of this earth, we will experience the two phases of life and living within that twenty four (24) hour period (light and darkness) even though each (light or darkness) will be in differing length of hours, depending upon the place (latitude and longitude) and the season.

Therefore, it behoves every individual to learn to “master” the use of time on earth maximally. The true measure of your life is calculated in time. The Almighty God does not give money but gives time and the ability to get wealth. Money is the currency of exchange while time is the currency of life.

When you use your time diligently and prudently, the following benefits will become available unto you:-

• When you have learnt to master and prioritize time, it will protect and preserve your life because you will learn to do the right things, at the right time, in the right way, and in the right place. Thus you will get the right results for your actions or activities most of the times, if not all the time.
• It will keep your energy at a high level.
• This will lead you to make true progress in the right direction. You will not be “beating about the bush” on most matters, and you will not waste available time.
• When you have the correct priority for your time, it will help you protect your currency of life, which is your time. Most people do not realize that the true currency of life is time. It is quite possible for you to abuse your time currency by doing the wrong things at the wrong time, in the wrong way and in the wrong place. You should realize that when you lose your time currency, nobody can give it back to you; and it will take the grace of God upon your life to recover the lost time currency.
• Good management of your time resources will help preserve and protect your energy from being wasted. (Saves you from the wasters of Destiny).
• It will also help protect your talents and the Gift of God upon your life. You will thus avoid spending your time and gifts on things that are worthless and unproductive.
• With good time management, your decisions are protected because they are taken at the right time and fit properly and adequately into the scheme of things, at the right point in time.
• Prudent time management helps you to be disciplined; this of course is a function of doing the right things at the right time, in the right way and at the right place.
• Lastly good time management, (which is prioritizing your activities according to the available time frame or schedule), makes your life very, very simple and life and living uncomplicated.
