Start Early

 I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me....Prov 8:17. One of the major reasons why we have ordinary result in what we do is because we didn't start early enough, we didn't take responsibility for our lives early enough. look back at your life, your childhood and teenage years, what did you learn during your high school days. How serious and responsible were you then. if you could roll back the hands of time, would you do things differently, would it be a slight change or a total overhaul? Did you have a dream you pursued? did you follow instructions or were you headstrong and full of pride? Many of us didn't have the privilege of learning the basic life values back then, no wonder our country is in chaos.

People who discover what they want from life early have a greater chance of achieving success. God loves things to be done early, no wonder he arose from death very early in the morning. Life only starts when you choose a particular path you want to follow. What path have you decided to follow? If you can't answer that question, you have not started at all. Hurry up, start now, time is ticking away, it waits for no man.

Joseph and david started taking responsibilities as a teenager. One of my most respected men of God Bishop David Oyedepo once said that while he was in school, he read 58 African writers series books because he knew he would one day address crowds, he was only 15years old. Pastor Christian Oyakilome was said to have 2 big boxes of christian books and one small box of school books, no wonder they are taking Nigeria and Africa by storm. Kenneth E Hagin started his ministry at age 22. In sports, Tiger Woods started playing golf at age 4, at 17 he had won all competitions Golf could offer. Andrea Agasi got his first tennis racket on his first birthday, no wonder he proved almost unbeatable during his prime.

The earliest time to start taking responsibility for your future is now, whether you are ten, teenager, middle age or elderly.Don't allow yourself get distracted, stay focused and you will enjoy the fruits of your labour.
