CHAMPIONING PRODUCTIVITY WITH FOCUS ON THE HEAVENLY GOAL

In today's fast-paced world, where the demands of work and life can seldom feel overwhelming, it can be very easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Productivity is often measured by the volume of tasks completed, the milestones achieved, and the goals actualised within a specific allotted time. However, despite the importance of being efficient and effective in our daily endeavours, it is crucial to remember the ultimate purpose behind our pursuit of productivity as Christians– the heavenly goal.


The King James Version of the Holy Bible provides enormous wisdom which have proven to be valuable over time in our quest for productivity while keeping up with the heavenly goal. By incorporating the principles and teachings drawn from the scriptures into our daily routines, we can enhance our productivity within the divinely specified perspective.


One essential principle emphasized in the Holy Bible is the importance of focusing on the heavenly goal rather than the pursuit of ephemeral things. Just as the book of Colossians 3:2 rightly advises, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.", we should prioritise eternal values over temporary ones. While earthly achievements may bring temporary gratification, they are not sufficient to satisfy the eternal journey, when compared to the everlasting fulfilment that prioritizing the heavenly goal could ever procure.


To champion productivity in light of the heavenly goal, we must embed a mindset of excellence in the discharge of our every task and endeavour. The book of Ecclesiastes  9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." This teaches us to approach our work with diligence and wholehearted professionalism. Whether it is our occupation, relationships, or personal goals, working with excellence allows us to honour God and maximize our productivity.


Furthermore, the Holy Bible encourages us to seek divine wisdom from God which serves as guidance to the achievement of the commensurate productivity desired at our various social and economic sphere. The book of Proverbs offers numerous verses on the value of God-given wisdom, such as Proverbs 2:6, which states, "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." By seeking wisdom through prayer and studying the scriptures, we can gain insights that sharpen our focus and enhance our productivity.


In our pursuit of productivity, it is very essential to accommodate rest which promotes rejuvenation. The book of Psalms reminds us of the importance of rest while stating in Psalms 127:2, "It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep." Recognizing the need for rest allows us to avoid burnout and promotes long-term productivity. By prioritizing self-care, we can maintain the energy and motivation necessary to accomplish our goals.


Moreover, the Bible encourages us to align our priorities with God's Will. The book of Matthew 6:33 tells us, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." By placing God at the forefront of our lives, our productivity comes pouring in. This is so because it is an act of devotion to the God that ruleth and reigneth in the affairs of men. By seeking God's guidance and aligning our actions with His will, we ensure that our pursuit of productivity is in harmony with His divine purpose.


In conclusion, championing productivity with a focus on the heavenly goal, provides us with a profound perspective on our daily pursuits. By incorporating principles exemplified in the Holy Bible, we can enhance our productivity and achieve a sense of fulfillment. Focusing on the heavenly goal allows us to prioritize eternal values, work with excellence, seek divine wisdom from God, embrace rest, and align our priorities in cognizance with God's Will. Let us remember that true productivity lies not only in the tasks we accomplish but also in the impact we make on the lives of others as we strive to follow the lead of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ while applying the intuitive morals of His legacy.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
