Dedication:
Pastor Amponfi, who trained us to manage our time effectively whilst we were
still in the junior high school.
Enjoy…
In a twinkle of
an eye, if the coming of Christ tarries, the year 2018 will also come to an end
very soon. 2018 won’t stay with us forever; it might seem too long, but don’t
let time take you by surprise. I don’t know what you have planned doing this
year, neither do I know your ambitions. But one thing I know for sure, that
there is a purpose for everything under the sun. I strongly believe that all of
us have something to do; each of us have a role to play to contribute something
to life. All that we are destined to do will be realized if we take time management
into due consideration in our everyday life.
“Time
is the currency of the earth. God did not give you friends. He gave you Time,
and you Invested Time into people and created friendships. He did not give you
money. He gave you Time. You exchanged it for paper money from your boss and
employer.” This
statement made by Mike Murdock in his book titled ‘the assignment’ signifies
how important time is to an individual.
Sometime ago at high
school, I felt as if I was some robot – programmed to execute certain task;
wake up at dawn, do everything on time, move to class for morning studies, come
back to my house, have some little sleep, move to the dining hall, go back to
class for evening studies etc. in that order and I believe this has really been
of help. In fact no time was wasted at all.
But it is better to feel being programmed this year and succeed than
doing whatever you want at any time and fail. To leave no truth unsaid, we
witnessed others who spent much of their time with friends not doing anything important,
yes that is the hard truth, and one of my teachers usually referred to some of
those acts as ‘a wicked waste of time.’.
Frankly speaking, some students will move out
of their various houses to study only when they hear rumours that their house masters
are coming around, as if they were in school to learn for their authorities.
You might have fallen victim of this, but those days are over. This is an
article of rescuing; I am rescuing to come out of the mismanagement of time
with the blood of Jesus. If you really want to excel, don’t be among those who
will never react positively until they hear other colleagues yelling “the
housemaster is coming, the housemaster coming.” That is enough, 2018 should be
a different year, you might have set your goals already and that’s great, but
it’s not too late to add time management as one of your topmost priorities. If
you are a college student, have you thought of how you can impact your society
apart from the normal class - room work (writing quizzes and examination)? If you are a worker, what can you do to impact someone's life and the society as a whole. One of the things I have always said is: “do
something whilst you still have the chance, a time is coming when you can do
them no more.” You were created for a purpose! Time is very
precious and should never be misused.
