UNDER CONSTRUCTION



The Basics

Lately, I have been observing the infrastructural projects going on around my community, and it is obvious that every project that is still under construction is not fit and ready for usage yet until completed. No matter how the project itself desires to be used, it has to be properly and thoroughly worked upon before it is certified fit for use. 

Your Life Is a Project 

Before you came to be, God has travelled through the length and breadth of your life;  He has seen Alpha to Zulu and everything in between. He is the divine architect who has designed the blueprint of your life, the kind of tools and materials needed to build your life and the type of people needed to work upon your life. Your life is a project, God is the supervisor, the chief project lead on-site, and until he is done making you, you are cannot be fit to fulfil any purpose. 

Under Construction – The Process 

To be under construction simply refers to a building, structure, or project that is unfinished but is actively being worked upon and is still in the process of making. If the construction is poorly done, the project won’t fulfil its purpose. If it is left halfway, the structure will not be fit for use and if the process is not completed, the building will be of no use to anyone but for other purposes short of what it is originally designed for. 

When was the last time you saw an architectural sketch of a building on paper? I bet it was beautiful and appealing right? However, it is one thing to have a sketch on paper and another to bring such to life. When the rubber hit the road and workers are on-site to start working, (which is the process) then, the ingenuity of the blueprint will be put to test. God is infallible, He has the blueprint of your life all figured out and He has everything put in place to build your life. To convert the blueprint of your life to reality. Your life is under construction. 


The Essence of the Process

Just like a building, structure and project that must be completed before it is fit for use, so is your life. The process of the construction is never rosy, it is messy and rigorous. Daily, the process is a mixture of dust, hard pressing, pain and sometimes exposure to harsh and unpleasant weather. The essence is to bring out the intended original blueprint. If there is no construction process, there won’t be a project at the end of the day. 

I know you can relate with your process of making and construction as you read this, and you may be whispering, this guy has no idea how deep it hurts and breaks me. Trust me, I am mortal and we all bleed the same. I am going through my “under construction” process as well. But for what its worth, it is for our best. Abandoned, unfinished projects in this part of the world end up being an opened toilets and meeting point for hoodlums in the community. I know you will not want your life to be like that. 

What is in for you?

Quickly, let me draw some applications from these illustrations. Have you observed that most often in Nigeria (I don’t know about other countries), the sites of new projects especially big ones will be caged and fenced before the real project is constructed? God has to cage your life and isolate you from the stares and eyes of the crowd, to make you, build you and construct you before introducing you to the world. Stay through the process of your construction no matter how tough and rough it gets. Truth is, you cannot be used half-constructed any more than food can’t be eaten half done. 


Don’t be anxious and in a hurry to be used when the grand designer of your life is not done with your life. Stay through and remain true, let him build you, allow him to make you, fitting every part of you beautifully together. Let him establish you through the process and announce you himself in due time. When He is done with you, He will launch you in grand style. 

Thank you for reading

FIRST THING FIRST

  Our Default Setting  So I have a friend who has this significant order he looks up to a lot. He has made it in life as an international professor based in the United State and has all the right connections (if you get what I mean). My friend had this deeply ingrained mindset back then in school that once he is done with undergraduate studies, getting employed will not be an issue for him. Five years down the line, he is still pulling and pushing through life to make both ends meet. What happened to the hope he had of being helped by his significant order? Quashed. I know you can relate to this story, you might have heard similar experiences with people you look up to fail you, disappoint you, and let you down. Nigerians believe that the easiest way to get disappointed and useless in life is to look up to your uncle. (How true is this? you judge for yourself). Such is life as we see it. At the end of the day, your help and lifting may or may not come through such people that ...

DON'T JUST LOSE IT

So I failed to send out the publicity for what I am to write on and share with you yesterday; partly because I have been dragging with my health lately and the fact that writer's block came visiting. Just like trust, consistency is one thing that once established, you don't just lose it. Building consistency is like earning trust, it takes time but can or may be lost in a blink of an eye. So I thought about this yesterday, knowing that someone out there may be waiting on me to send something out today, and here I am, about to make the waiting go down the drain. Well, I had to write something. In life, we exert our efforts, direct our attention and channel our determination to achieve or get some things through persistence, only to let them slip past our fingers because we lack the keeping power of consistency. What I mean is, persistence gets it, consistency keeps it; so by all means, in your persistence, be consistent.  In describing what consistency is not, Hundred Life Desig...

The 4 Heartbeats of COMMITMENT

  In my last piece, I established that commitment is the spine upon which every worthy achievement in life stems. It counts the cost and pays the proportionate price. Commitment singles you out of the crowd. Don't travel this life without adding tones of commitment to your backpack. I also added that where you are and who you are right now is not in any way unrelated to the number of commitments you have made in the past. To drive the nail further down into the coffin, I will share four major variables that serve as the heartbeats of commitment. Through them, commitment comes alive, and with them, we see, touch, and feel the reality of commitment. Commitment is Sacrificial  If you are committed to someone or something, the first proof is that you sacrifice or give your all for it. Here, you bet your life, stake it out and lay it down on the line. The pages of history are scattered with men and women who were committed to worthy causes and people they loved and valued; the proo...
