ARE IMPOSSIBILITIES REAL?

• “...with God all things are possible’’, Matt. 10:27.

TIME IS UNFRIENDLY! These three words said by my colleague, Revd Bola Ogunyannwo, provoked in me a wave of new light about TIME. Immediately, flood of wisdom about TIME overwhelmed my soul. My spirit burned with the following truth about TIME.

• Time is the continuous running of your days and life. Your clock or wrist watch is not your time, but simply a means of measurement of your time.
• Time is the continuous counter of life.
• Though time is unfriendly, it is inevitable for living.

• Your worth in life depends greatly on your time usage.
• What you do with your time LABELS your life. If you always use your time to gossip, you will be called a gossiper. If you always use your time for research, u will be called a researcher.

THE BEST IS ONLY A FOUNDATION

We often hear these words, BE THE BEST, DO YOUR BEST, IT IS THE BEST, BE AT YOUR BEST, etc. But wait! What really can you say about THE BEST? I battled with this question as i did a write up on EXCELLENCE. I thought over it for days and i recievd the following light about THE BEST.

• THE BEST is that which surpasses others in quality, or in quantity,or in input, or in output, or in performance.
• THE BEST is only the best because there is none or nothing that has surpassed it.
• THE BEST is always yet to come.
• THE BEST of today is only a FOUNDATION, keep building on it.
  
• THE BEST is always relative with time. Your best today may just be the worst tomorrow, so keep on improving and finding ways to make it better.
• Not improving on your best of today is preparation for non-relevance tomorrow.
  
• THE BEST you can do now is not all you can do. The best of now is not the end to all posibilities.
• BEST is the product of passion and practise of excellence.
• BEST is the product of concerted effort to out perform your self or others.
• You get the BEST by putting all that you have ( Skill, Knowledge, Strenght, etc) to achieve a very good result or more than the desired result.
• THE BEST that is celebrated today may not command appreciation tomorrow.
• The addition of a little creativity to what has been can just produce THE BEST.

• BEST is like an ascending stair case, the STEP imediately above is higher and better than the STEP below.

• WHAT WE CALL THE BEST IS ONLY A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT HAS BEEN!
  

Don't negotiate always being the best!

KNOWLEDGE: The MIRROR of your CONFESSION
