What Next In Life


Have you ever been stuck in that loop of not knowing what to do next when you're done with a particular stage of life?

Well I have...

I've struggled with finding out what next to do and let me tell you, it's not been an easy moment.

It's a new month and everyone is making plans and you don't want to be left out but yet, you're stuck!

I've been there...

I've struggled with moment where I think that I'm doing things the wrong way. Struggled with those momemts where I ask God if what I'm doing is in line with my purpose...

But it is on those moments that I learn to trust God, trust in his will and in his way.

You can never go wrong with God. You might think that it's not going in the right path but, trust me when I say that the ways of Man are different from that of God.

The Father will never let you walk out of his will as long as you're willing to pay attention and be obedient.

In those moments though, in those moments of "What Next", there are stages that I learnt to follow.

These are based on my personal experience and lessons. I hope they help you as much it did for me.

Stages In my "What Next"

1. Have a Vision

"Write down your vision... That all may see and run with it" ~ Habakkuk 2:2.

A vision is the creation of a plan for the future using ones imagination or wisdom.

You cannot go far without a vision. It is what gives you drive when you feel down. When the zeal to move ahead is lacking, having a set goal makes your process easier. 

It gives room for improvement and growth. With your vision, you are able to run a long way in life and when set, others can run with it.

2. Don't Be Idle

You read right...

You might be looking to walk in the path of God, but that is no excuse to be idle. Don't say, "I'm waiting for God to Show me what to do!" 

It never ends well.

There are blessings in the place of service and most importantly, God does not like a lazy or idle person.

Find something doing. Learn that skill, work in that company. Keep upgrading that skill. Your opportunity could be in the next turn.

Do not stay idle... An idle man is the devil's workshop.

3. Prayer and Fellowship

If you are looking to walk in the path of purpose, it is very important that you cultivate a habit of prayer.

Prayer is a two way communication and so if you're talking to God, be willing to listen too. 
Fellowship is a place of communication. Don't just walk out on God, be sensitive to the leading of the holy spirit.

4. Patience

The place of patience in working on the next stages in life cannot be overstated. 

You need patience if you want to see a result. You'll need patience to work towards something, and you'll need patience to get through the process of learning.

With the fruits of the spirit, we are able to gain patience. Pray for the counsel of God at all times when working towards patience.

In summary,

Remember that in all the effort you put into a thing, God also has plans for you. Walk in his leading.

God loves you 😌

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me.  I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words.  Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...
