Letter To My Future Self

 

As I pen down these words, I am filled with a profound sense of wonder about the trajectory of my life and the incredible journey that lies ahead. 


Dear Future Self, 

How will your service be in God's vineyard?

Will the elevated status ever impede your commitment to joining believers in evening worship and diligently searching the scriptures? I acknowledge the demanding nature of higher professional roles, where the constraints of a 24-hour day may seem insufficient to manage the myriad responsibilities vying for attention. But, dear future self, I implore you to reflect on the importance of maintaining the expected level of commitment to the things of the Kingdom.

Undoubtedly, you will be blessed beyond measure, but in the midst of prosperity, do not forget your responsibility in sharing the gospel, strengthening the brethren, upholding truth and righteousness, and aligning with the purpose of God for your life. Recognize that you serve as a positive reference to other believers, a beacon illuminating the path of faith.

As you ascend to higher echelons, set a watch upon your heart to ensure that you are not lured out of the Kingdom. Remember, it is God's providence that has brought you thus far, and allowing ego into your heart could jeopardize your relevance on earth and eternal reward in heaven. Be the light that you are and continue to shine, drawing strength from sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

With the inevitable aging process, intensify your friendship with the Bible. Let it be your guide, your source of wisdom, and your solace. Your top position is not merely about owning titles and awards; it is an opportunity to shine your light to other high-standing figures in society who would listen to you because you have access. Remain humble and rest in God's help, for you will end strong, and you will finish well.

In the midst of corporate demands, never lose sight of your divine calling. Continually lean on the Holy Spirit for guidance and inspiration. The impact you make in both realms – the professional and the spiritual – is a testament to the Lord's exaltation and His reward for those who diligently serve Him.

Embrace the future with faith, humility, and an unwavering commitment to your higher purpose.

With anticipation and blessings,

Plot Twist: The Heavenly Rescue

Image
In the grand theater of Heaven, where celestial bodies shine like warriors’ shields, Revelation 12 unfolds a story that rivals the greatest epics of all time. A woman, radiant as the sun, stands cloaked in light, crowned with twelve stars, laboring to bring forth a child. This is no ordinary child—He is destined to rule the nations. But in the shadows lurks a dragon. Not just any dragon, but a fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and a tail so powerful it sweeps stars from the sky. His mission? Devour the child the moment He is born. The stage is set for a cosmic showdown. The Cosmic Showdown The dragon prowls, ferocious and cunning, ready to strike. His hatred is boundless—a venomous rage against life and purpose. But just as darkness threatens to consume the moment, Heaven intervenes. The instant the child is born, God snatches Him up to His throne, thwarting the dragon’s deadly plans. And the woman? She is given wings—yes, wings of an eagle—to escape to a place of refuge p...

Making a Friendly Conversation

Image
Many years ago, I told a friend during a conversation, "You don’t know what you are saying." This might be a typical response when you are strongly opinionated and feel your view is superior to others. However, such words are condescending, diminish self-esteem, and come across as arrogant. When my friend called my attention to it, I later apologized and promised to do better next time. Speaking is an art, and we can learn the art of speaking skillfully and professionally. Here are a few strategies that I think would be helpful. Credit: Image by MabelAmber on Pixabay 1. Agree to Disagree One effective strategy is to agree to disagree. Start by appreciating their personality or viewpoint so they do not see your comment as a personal attack. For instance, you might say, "Hmm, your point actually got me thinking, and I appreciate your thought process. But don’t you think…? This is because…." This approach acknowledges their perspective, making them feel valued and int...
