Clock building, not time telling

in #esteem6 years ago

Welcome! I hope as you drink deeply from the contents of this article, I earnestly pray you critically, spiritually and objectively think through the content, word after word, precept after precept; and I would rather you thoughtfully consider and ultimately reject the 'wisdom' it might offer than that you blindly and unquestionably accept them.

Imagine you met a remarkable person who could look at the sun or stars at any time of the day or night and state the exact time and date : "it's July 7th, 2018, 8:08 P.M, and 42 Seconds." This person would be an amazing time teller, and we'd probably revere that person for the ability to tell time. But wouldn't that person be even more amazing, if he or she could build a clock that could tell the time forever, even after he or she had died and gone.
Secular commonplace thinking you might be quick to conclude; but tell me, whatdid you think Paul was actually saying when he said, ".....the world is earnestly awaiting the manifestations of the sons of God" to the Roman Church?.
Could Paul be so mediocre in thought a d rapt understanding to have said that the 'lower class's of humans, since we have being renewed in Christ and now dwell far and above all others, are earnestly expecting the visible form of divine beings that are also 'lower class'?.
Remember Moses' rod before the Egyptian magicians; they (the Egyptian rods) could also form serpents (tell time) but could they swallow? (Build the clock thereby creating an everlasting show of magnificent). Most of us depend so much on the quality of education we have, the level of social certification we have obtained and we lose touch completely with the core that makes all of what we are or might evolve to become tick and stick.
Bishop T.D Jakes puts this thought in better light, "....the world had created a social box (prison) called education which all men (and women) inadvertence serve their time...." All men are so engrossed with the illumination the world gives which is actually servitude to the undiscerning and unshackled mind and belittles the truth that can pervade the firewalls of rational mortal novel intellect.
Still cannot see the framework of this blabbing, why buy a boat when you can walk on water? Why board an airplane when you can simply be cut-away (faster, more comfortable, at least no jet legs, and free, uh hmm, absolutely free)? Why need an army when you can silence a national threat? Why struggling when you can win without sweat? Why chase lead coins when you can have gold like dust? Why dead writing on paper when you can inscribe into tablets of rock? The list of what is obtainable and possible for THEM THAT BELIEVES (note the word BELIEVES: PRESENT SINGULAR; it means it has to be NOW and limitless, likened to the difference in distance between the heaven and earth.
See, we have a core that makes us do the seemingly impossible. Please don't get this wisdom wrong, even our fathers served their terms in the education institutes and even achieved distinctions (Daniel manifested by books), but don't be carried away by the surreal glory that comes from them, a great degree or grade, a charismatic and visionary disposition, a fellowship of 'Nobel' laureates et all cannot and shall never match the presence and vision of the Maker, He who is all knowing, all encompassing, all providing and can make the dreams of time past, present and future real.
He can make the ground wider beneath your feet, so you shall not slip, He can teach you to break bow of steel and iron, He can make you the entrepreneur the world cannot create, He can make you match the princes of the earth, He can make you lend to nations, He can make you wiser than your teachers, He simply can make YOU.
The clock building process therefore is their realization and acknowledgement that our purpose basic declaring and adding souls to Ecklesia, our daily lives must show, prove and be evident of a 'superiority complex' when shows us as sons of the Most High. Know this; the offspring of a goat is a kid (goat); that of a lion (cub); a man, babe; and that of God is a god. So in defining your purpose and ultimate goals, define the roots that sprang you. Are you a kid, babe or god?
You have all it takes to become an iconic being, not a band wagon success. Excellence in human terms is your staprovg point, rise for the 'celestial' standard and prove yourself as a clock builder, a solution provider and not a product of the servitude of our educational system but a specific need delivered to planet earth, country Nigeria and city Lagos.
Go now my friend and make history!.
Shalom.
