APPLICATIONS/SOFWARES



This piece is rather going to be a short, apt, and precise one. However, I hope, the message will be clear, straight and simple for comprehension to all and sundry. I therefore urge you to read it with keen interest and also with an opened mind.
We live in a generation invaded by an ever increasing technological advancement; thus, we have diverse technological devices and appliances to our daily benefits; chiefly the laptops and the smartphones. These laptops and smartphones have several softwares and applications that make them effective for usage. These softwares and applications have unique and different functions that meaningful usage of them will enable the devices to achieve their predefined purposes.
Most often, many people have different softwares on their laptops and a host of applications on their smartphones; however, failure to put these softwares and applications into meaningful usage is like building houses you don’t live in only to be occupied by rodents and their likes. Every software and application has a unique purpose it performs in every device, and where purpose is not adequately defined, abuse is certainly inevitable. Therefore, some softwares or applications are necessary or major prerequisites for the running of the device while others are merely optional.
Enough of technology; what does this obvious technological illustration trying to tell us? Our lives are like well-designed technological devices, amazing masterpieces of God’s great technology, with the right installations of the suitable and relevant softwares or applications, fulfillment of our purpose is assured. God therefore desires that all softwares and applications that we install in our lives as His custom made devices be put to accurate and adequate usage to bring Him glory and also to benefit us and our generation.
Most relevantly, what are these softwares and applications we are supposed to install in our lives every day? Answering this question rightly will set one’s life in the right course of purpose fulfilling operation. These softwares and applications are our habits, attitudes and characters that we display every day. Again, they can be friends, mentors, models and other people we have given them authority over our lives; also, some of these applications and softwares are relationships, contemporaries and colleagues.
The rightful installation of the above mentioned softwares and applications into our lives will keep our lives focused and steady on fulfilling our destiny and life’s purpose. If you are to check throughout history the record of men and women that succeeded or failed, you will realize that their success or failure is somehow related to one or more of the above listed softwares or applications. So it is pertinent to note here that the kind of softwares and applications you install in your life’s system or devices will determine your subsequent success or failure in life.
Thus, what and how are your habits? How functional is your attitude? How edifying is your character? Who are your friends? Who are your mentors and models?  How beneficial are your relationships, how helpful are your contemporaries and colleagues? I deeply believe that answering these questions aright will change your life and ensure that fulfilling your life’s purpose comes with certainty. It is worthy of note here that not every habit, attitude and character is worth installing in your life’s system or device. Installing the wrong thing is equivalent to getting wrong results and installing the right ones means getting maximum and fruitful results.
To wrap it up, are the softwares or applications in your life’s system or device enabling you to operate effectively and functionally or are they merely filling up space, slowing and weighing you down? Are there softwares and applications you need to install in your life starting from now? Are there also others you need to uninstall with immediate effect? I dare you to answer these two questions with utmost sense of sincerity and earnestness, if you do, I bet you your life will flow with operational efficacy, maximum relevance and lasting fruitfulness.

Don’t keep or install needless softwares and applications into the precious device of your life, because the beauty and essence of life is the meaningful application and installation of life’s softwares and applications in every day’s life.

IF YOU WERE PHILIP

  Permit me to tell you a bit about Philip. I met Philip in our undergraduate days at the University of Jos. He was never late even though he usually comes from home. I tried several times to beat him in punctuality but I failed on several attempts. Philip was cheerful, full of life, and always the spark of the house.  Last week was a tough yet defining week for me, I lost Philip who has been a friend for 10 years. Did I see it coming? Certainly not. Was I anticipating it sooner? I doubt it. But will we all die? Of course yes.  This is not a tribute but be patient with me as I share with you the lessons I have learned at the cause of his demise this week. I have no doubt they will bless your heart. Philip lived well : I know people are often guilty of saying things about people who are gone that are not usually true, but with a deep sense of honesty, humility, and certitude, at 27, Philip lived well. This is no fallacy, this young man touched lives everywhere he went, if ...

JUST A DAY OFF

  Disclaimer The message of this piece may or may not be for everybody, however I pray that somehow you relate with these few words and make sense out of it. O ne of the things I have been consistent with this year is “morning runs”; I exercise three times a week, alternating between the week days. The entire experience became more fun when one of my friends became my neighbour few months ago, and we began running together. Well, what we do every day we go running is adding upon the distance we covered previously and no matter how small the addition is, it gives us a sense of improvement. However, lately, we have been overwhelmed with life and personal struggles that we often skip our morning exercise, and prior to now that I am writing this piece, it has been almost two weeks that we have not gone running. W hat we discovered and even talked about while running this morning (5:27am, Saturday October 24 th , 2020)   was that in as much as our body systems have adopted ...

DO YOUR THING - IN YOUR SKIN

This piece is from my archives but for the sake of this series, I had to dust it up. It is a bit long, but it is for you - yes you. So take a few minutes and go through this with an open mind, who knows, it just might change your life. One year ago I was having a conversation with this lady with whom we have been discussing life, she said to me: “Sir, I have something that is eating me deep inside and I will need help with it; people have been making fun of me because of my body structure, I have been working hard to add some flesh but it is not working, I hate being called a smally”.  I strongly believe that to make life count you honestly have to love yourself, love who you are now and are becoming, and constantly remind yourself that you are a masterpiece, God's work of art, one of a kind, custom-made limited edition person. What I am saying in essence is, to make life count, you have to be comfortable in your skin. In Your Own Skin To be comfortable in your skin is to be you an...
