Opportune Time

 I’ve always been fascinated by the concepts of chronos and kairos.

Chronos refers to time that passes in a sequential, linear manner, while kairos is the opportune moment for something to happen. Many speakers and writers have shared a lot about this topic, and I’ve learned so much from them.

From my personal experience, I’ve seen how missing these opportune moments can have a serious impact. The lessons I’ve learned are:

  1. You may never know when the opportune moment will come, so prepare yourself well.
  2. The opportune moment often comes in disguise, so always be on your best behaviour.
  3. Don’t make decisions lightly or carelessly.
  4. If you miss the moment once, learn from it and don’t repeat the same mistake.

In conclusion, kairos can change the course of your life, but only if you’re ready for it. Time waits for no one, and the opportunities we’re given don’t always announce themselves. So, stay alert, work hard, and be prepared to seize that moment when it comes.

Take action today – sharpen your skills, stay disciplined, and always be ready to embrace those rare but valuable moments when they come your way. Don’t let them slip away.

God's grace, subway surfers: what's the connection?

I was in church yesterday for Bible study and it was so awesome I had to share. We studied God's grace which in Greek is Charis. Let me digress. I am a big fan of the game subway surfers and I have a score of about 255k to show for the countless hours I have put into the game. When I first launched the game a friend told me his highest score was about 80k, he further told me that he'd seen folks with scores in millions. My ultimate goal then became having a score of at least 300k. It seemed like a tall order. However with time I realised that there were boosts (like surfboards, score boosters, magnets and power ups) and aids to help me achieve my goal. The more I ran, the more boosts I gathered,  the easier the game became and the higher my scores climbed. Now this post ain't entirely about subway surfers. Its also about God's grace. God's grace to us can be defined as the unmerited favor and support God bequeathed upon us. Titus 2:11,12 I paraphrase: The grace ...

It's Alright Now

I saw a damsel walking by I smiled and said hello She sneered and gave me nasty look And then walked away But its alright now I guess my lesson's learnt Not every girl wants to be friends Not every story happily ends I saw a fine girl walking by She smiled and I said hi We spent the evening writing poems Singing as we went So am alright now I guess my lesson's learnt As there are red and blue flames Not every girl is the same I've seen the heights of life I've also seen the other side Be nice to everyone you meet Be nice to the cat on the street But it's alright now I guess my lesson's learnt Not everything is as it seems Not everything is as we see I wrote a poem late last night Because I couldn't sleep I worried if it made any sense Or if it was just dense But it's alright now I guess my lesson's learnt You can't please everyone I write to be at peace with myself
