I was taught by my Pastor amd Mentor, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome D.Sc. D.Sc. D.D. that
What you will be, you are already becoming.
He also taught me that;
Any future that isn't connected to today does not exist.
These has been my guiding principles. What do these statements mean?
They simply mean that your future is now and you have to take relevant steps to fulfill your God-given purpose.

I took this picture when I went to a government Primary /Secondary School today. I couldn't help but notice the once standard buildings that have become a shadow of themselves after several years of being built by the government.
The classes do not qualify to be called places for learning or educating young minds because of how vandalised they have become. I often wonder how these young people could learn in such environment. I even wonder what they do when they are called by nature to use the restroom seeing that there are standard or fairly neat restrooms available for them.
I then thought to myself that for them to become relevant in society, they would have to look beyond their present environment and with the eyes of their minds, envision a bright future for themselves and they can only do this if someone educates their minds to think in such direction.
Day after day, these youg people learn here, and we all go about our lives not knowing their sufferings and pains behind these walls. We have to answer their cry and by God's grace, I had a talk with the Principal of the school to give a solution to them.
In the same light, I took a picture of my lecture note book serving as a perfect base for my earphones which I was using a moment ago.

It just seemed like yesterday when I sat for my first semester exams, the ending of March and now, I'm preparing for my second semester exams coming up in the month of July.
Also, I'm preparing to start my IT training — A 3-6 month Industrual Training programme done by 3rd year university students in their chosen areas of learning, and it's carried out in companies or schools, hospitals etc.
The thing is, I will be attending lectures from Mondays to Wednesdays while from Thursdays to Saturdays, I will be going to the hospital where I'm doing my IT and at the same time, studying for my exams, answering to several assignments, class presentations and tests. Though, it isn't supposed to be this way but due to the shortness of the semester, that's what my department in school decided so we won't miss out on our lectures.
I'm just here thinking how time flies. Just a while ago, I was in my first year and in less than 3 months from now, I'll be in my finals. 😇
Handling my academic work with my businesses, Ministry and my lovely Hive 😍 is something I'm most thankful to God for His superabundant grace, strength and wisdom in me.
In the midst of all these, I keep my purpose in mind beacause I know why I'm here and why I have to do what I'm meant to do. My future is now and I'm taking charge of it!!!
Till next time beautiful soul... ❤️❤️
