WHERE DO WE FIND YOU IN FEW YEARS TO COME; THE STATEMENT THAT CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ABOUT LIFE AND MADE ME SEE THE NEED TO LIVE RESPONSIBLY BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA.

REFLECTION:

It was during one of our programs back then as fresh students in the university. The question was popped in the air: "Where can we find you in few years to come?"

Different people with diverse responses.

We heard many responses like,

 "I will be through with my education and be settled,"

"I will have given birth to all my children then,"

"I will be fulfilled."

One answer struck me and changed my orientation about life. "I will be found in God." I was so amazed by this answer because I never had that school of thought.

Someone who is locked up in God won't live a meaningless and purposeless life.

He is put in check by his constant abode in the secret place.

He can never run short of vision.

He won't run dry of inspiration.

Someone who is found in God can't be found in immorality and perversion.

He is conscious of who he is and his destination.

Much more than all the responses we gave that day, if we are not found in God by then, it is a sheer waste of time.

To you, you might think you have lived a fulfilled life then but if God factor is missing, you are a failure.

Friend, where do we find you in the next ten years?

Will you still be in Jesus?

Will you still hold firm to your conviction or you would have wavered?

Will you still be identified with the word?

Will you still be known as a man of prayer?

Will you hold forth?

Should we look for you then outside the gate?

Should we look for you around the corner of the street?

Please be sincere with your response.

Let it echo deep inside of you.

Being confident of this very thing that He that began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Christ. Philippians 1:6
