Your Future Starts Now!

Your Future Starts Now!



“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.” 


Some few years ago i did have a strong attachment to believe in prophecy or divination or foretelling or whatever name you have for it. Over time i discovered that knowledge of those things could either cripple your ability to manifest greatness or encourage you to strive and get the best out of life. It has come to my understanding that knowing too much of the things that could likely come to be (the future) are absolutely not perfectly good for man. As good as knowing about the future through divinations is, the harm it could cause to one’s life is as equally weighty, there is no man as peaceful and assured of fulfillment as a man that do not ask for the prediction of his future but make effective use of today and everything therein, lives today like is the last but ready to fly if tomorrow comes.

I use to say to myself after i started to have a clearer understanding about life, i don’t need a supernatural ability to tell a man the magnitude of his greatness and what the future will definitely release to him, all i need to know is his belief system, his dreams, his visions, his attitude towards life, his investment in things of the world and people in it, and above all, his relationship with God NOW!

Every man have the sense and ability to see goodness and greatness in others, this is every reason why every man has the free will to determine who they want to be friends with or who they are connected to, that could have great influence on them and impart something of meaning in their life. This is why the relationship people have with each other is wholly or partially conditional, except God who is from the beginning of our lives to the end of it connected to us unconditionally.

Nobody wants to associate with a man that could tear the wall of their life down; we only agreeably connect to those we believe to fit into our life. As the saying goes ‘birds of a feather flocks together’ which I choose to put this way ‘every man in your life do not exist there by accident, you attracted them, if they are no longer ready to fit in for the best of your life, you know what to do, repel them’.

I do believe that i find strength to do many things i do because of my undying courage but most importantly i gain great energy to keep my chin up from motivations by people around me. Like a year ago, i was discussing with someone and i explained my financial challenges at the moment, then the person smiled and said to me ‘don’t worry Clem, i see you becoming really great, rich and very wealthy’, the words finds its way into my mind and brought perfect peace, to satisfy my curiosity, i said jokingly ‘you sound like some fortuneteller, how do you know that?’ The reply i got was ‘I can see it in your eyes, you have strong hunger for riches and greatness, and because you do, you will have it’ these words have served as a propelling force for me to make my dreams and vision a reality, and everything depends on my pull and push in life now and not later.

The outcome of today which is the product of the investment of now would be the wings which would be used to soar above the storms of tomorrow. If today is not well attended to, the tomorrow you look forward to will call your attention to the steps you missed yesterday, the truth about life is that any man who refuse to face the challenges of ‘Now’ thinking tomorrow will bring goodness and fortune on a silver platter has just welcomed to his life difficulty and hardship.

The Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV) says ‘Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men’. This simply clears the mentality of anyone seeing race and environment as limiting factor to rising to great heights in life, the only thing that can keep you down until you say NO, is not striving to be better and doing your best in whatever your hands finds doing now. The password to greatness and attracting men of great personality to your life, is creating value for your life today, men of value don’t live to bow to kings or circled by mere men but rule and rub minds with kings and men of high caliber.

No one is certain of what tomorrow holds or sure of been alive to mark the calendar, the only thing we are certain about is now. We don’t have to worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about us, if we deal well with the things of today, tomorrow has got the task to land us where we deserve, and if tomorrow never comes, we would have no regret of wasting our today expecting tomorrow to save our ass. If tomorrow comes and you are there, lucky you but don’t forget that in the book of life, tomorrow expects you to have read today’s chapter to be knowledgeable enough to understand the contents of its own pages.

The door to the unknown of the future can only be unlocked by the activities you involve yourself in energetically today which is the undisputable master key. If you will stop to deceive yourself, you know easily many times when you do things that are productive and looking forward to its blessings and you can tell when you do things that you are not ready for or want to experience the consequence, this is why every man can decide what future they want for themselves and it starts about now.

See a young man that got a prophecy of his future to be so bright and colorful filled with blessings and goodness, he was so glad, went back to his home having a beautiful picture of future in his heart. All he does every day is sleep, eat and tell everyone around him i will be great and rich, I will eat in the palace of the kings and have many beautiful women around me, and oh I will even gain the whole world. Day after, decades after decades, he became stricken in age and has amounted to nothing but lost the youthful strength to pursue anything, all he could say unto himself is ‘woe unto me that i got the prediction of my future and never do what I should do to make it a reality from my Now then that is thousands of yesterday’s now’.

I look around and i saw another man who wept profusely saying woe unto himself because he just got the worst revelation of his life, he has been told he would be a slave in the garden of the king and eats crumbs from the table of the king. He wept for days but one day said to him, why weep i here till i leave the face of the earth and will have no one to bury me but dogs to eat my carcass. He stood up to the challenge of life, he starts to seek God’s face and do whatever his hand finds well, sought wisdom and knowledge, he helped people in whatever capacity he could, he makes friends with noble men and takes their advice and act on it, he saw his mission was to impact humanity positively, after several years he became a man after people’s heart and he didn't only hangout with the kings but he became a king to many who believe in his ideal for life.

I hope you can choose which man you want to be among the two.

The future belongs to you and I that prepare for it now, so wake up and live now, the future can only switch from being a promise of good things to being a threat of difficulty, if we fail to make effective use of the now we have got. Your future begins now; make it a wonderful and colorful one.

I see an assurance of a fulfilling life for you as from now if you will just take action. Go and make it happen!

God Loves  You
