Several times you have heard people saying,” what’s the hurry, we can do it tomorrow, it’s not the end of the world and in fact if we do everything today what will we do tomorrow?” This is common in everyone’s life, wanting to do thing the next time when you feel it’s convenient enough. Well this is one of the best tricks the enemy Mr. Lucifer devised. I think we have been lied to that there is no God and it has not worked, probably you have been told that heaven is just am image created to confuse the brain of human beings and still we desire to go there, but since the devil launched his new plan of tomorrows successes, he has finally gotten us.
Procrastination is one of the deadliest diseases and its toll on successes and happiness is heavy. Every time we forgo responsibilities with the excuse of doing it tomorrow, we waste today and tomorrow. Time is one of the things that need not to be wasted because it can never be earned once lost. Whatever we have to do, let’s do it and let tomorrow come with its things, let’s not pressure the next day with the problems of today, for I think that today is mature enough to handle its problems no need to involve tomorrow.
This issue is the main reason why development is still taking it baby steps in this nation, it’s the reason why Christianity is on its way to hitting the bed rocks of failure, it’s the main reason why the young generation have stopped to think of ideas and new ways of development. It’s the reason as to why we still dream of doing big things tomorrow even without the faith of seeing that tomorrow, it’s absurd. In the sarcastic world, everything becomes possible to achieve as long as it’s done tomorrow, it’s possible to change the economy as long as it’s not today, it’s possible to improve our academic grades as long as it’s in the next time and of course it’s possible to have God in heart as long as he sends the next preacher next week.
If you choose not to deal with an issue then you give up your chance of control over the issue and it will select the path of least resistance, if you choose not to forgive someone then you become entangled to them for the rest of your life and if you choose not to do something today then you are likely not to do it tomorrow. Sometimes it clicks in our minds that we ought to balance our check books, but we excuse the idea since there is a tomorrow, whenever we ought to forgive that person who wronged us we find ourselves being busy and changing the dates of forgiveness to tomorrow and every time we remember the debts that we have, we become so quick to develop amnesia over the issue. Am sure if tomorrow had a voice, he would have sued us already for misusing him.
Right now in Kenya the lecturers and doctors are on strike and all students and patients are suffering, for what reasons? The government promised them a raise some months ago and now there are no funds. This is what I am talking about, saying you will do things and you never do them. As a nation we have been eying the beauty of industrialization and becoming a developed country, but that dream is become fainter and fainter. Right now it’s hard to tell a young person about the message of the cross and eternity for they are still waiting to hear that when they are 30 or so years, we have developed the forms of anti-socialism with the excuse of some other time, we have neglected the forms of growth since we can always do it another time, but the reality is we never get the chance of doing so.
We shall never have more time than we already have, the time we keep on wasting cannot be restored and so we have to come up with ways of developing ourselves now. If you have something that you have to do then don’t wait for tomorrow, for you don’t know what awaits you the next day, that relative that you need to see, go and see them today find time and don’t wait for time to find you for its too lazy to do that. That fellow that you have to forgive, do it now that you have remembered, take you phone and ask for their pardon, that job that has been assigned for today, try your best and get it done before tomorrow come, that promise you made, ensure that you keep it and fulfill it today, that debt you have and have been brushing it off till the next time you have enough, clear it with that little that you have now.
It is time that we become mature, organized and responsible enough. It’s time that we Christians become committed Christians, praying for issues now, reading the bible now and forgiving now, for we don’t know what awaits us the next day. Martin Luther said,’ how soon not now will always become never’. This conquers with the reality that we will always have those things that we wish we had done yesterday yet so few that we feel like doing today. As Apostle Paul puts it in his second epistle to Timothy in the 4th chapter verse 2, that he should preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke and exhort, with complete patience and teaching, we also need to take that step of readiness which a quality of now, readiness is spontaneity, it’s a today’s character not tomorrow.
Lets us wake up and journey on.
