FOREVER YOUNG BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

As I sat down to meditate upon many things, it dawned on me that I am not getting younger. Wow! So fast, what's really happening? I still remembered when I was in my teens now. How time flies! 

See how my skin glows and looks fresh. I can't underestimate the work of God at this time over my life. In short, all my body parts still function properly. I am sure that is your witness too, so far we are both youth. All glory to God. 

But I am aware I was not like this some years ago. I remembered when I walked up and down the street scarcely dressed. I know you believe with me that life is in stage. Day after day, I am changing. 

I am single and complete. I can do series of activities at a time,I possess the strength. I can do anything but mind you, I am under the influence of the Holy spirit, I can't do what everybody is doing because I am different. 

Hmmmmmmm! The big question! Will I be forever young? Will I remain like this here on this earth? After eighty years, will I still be able to jump around? Will I still remain just like this? 

I guess the answer is "NO'. If then the answer is no, what would then become of me in my old age? By then, everything fascinating about this body would have depreciated. What will happen after enjoying myself big time in my youth age? 

It is then that what am doing now will count. If I have used myself recklessly, I will meet it then. There is no shortcut in this matter, neither is there partiality. You can't expect someone who used his prime recklessly to enjoy his old age. 

Each time you wake up, let it occur to you that you are not getting younger. 

That birthday you celebrate, let it be a time for sober reflection so that you are not just adding numbers. It shouldn't only be time for celebration. Examine yourself if truly you are growing or you are just adding numbers. Your spiritual growth should be at geometric progression. You must grow in every facet of life. 

It is not time to party, drink and make merry. It is time to prepare for your end. Get set for you will soon die. You will not die young but you will soon die. Even if you die at 150, you have died too soon because it can't be compared with eternity that is timeless. It is only here that we are time bound.

What will become of you at the end? What shall it be your profit if after all your slaying and partying,you now discovered you haven't invested in your eternity. You will cry then. But to avoid regret and loss,please make everyday of your life count because you can't remain this way in some years to come.

If the only thing you are good at doing now is gossiping and doing evil talks, I tell you, reality will soon dawn on you. 

If what you derive pleasure in is sex and sexual activities, you will soon understand when all your strength is gone. 

It is high time you stopped glueing your eyes to the television all the day long. 

It is time you stopped slaying, partying, drinking and all that. 

It is high time you stopped investing only in the latest material things.  

Invest in your life now. 

Start praying.

Start studying the word of God.

Start reading books that will develop you.

Start planning for years to come.

Start doing something worthwhile with your life. 

Do not spend any day of your life carelessly. Make everyday count
