X2 + 5X + 4 = 0 ax2 + bx + c = 0
Unless you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth,
life can present you with so many challenges, problems and frustrations that
can unruly bring you down if you are not vigilant. Immediately a child is born
the first thing he/she does is to cry because of the wicked and evil world they
are born into. Life from childhood and adulthood is a struggle with challenges
and hardship, nevertheless if you can follow a set of principles that I am
about to share, you will experience a total transformation in your life.
From the equation above, right from the onset, it looks
so difficult if you are not familiar with the equation. The dangerous thing is
you don’t know the steps and the approach to the equation and such is life. If
you don’t follow some rules and principles you will mess up.
The first step in solving the equation is to think about
the question and plan; taking into consideration the approach, method, Plan B
and the right formula to use. The planning stage is critical because when you
get it right, you are 70% through. In the same way, in life, before you do
anything whether you are familiar with it or you have no idea about it just think
and plan first. If it is exams think and plan first, if it is starting a
business, think and plan first, if it is giving a presentation, think and plan
first, if it is travelling think and plan first, if it is starting a
relationship, think and plan first, being it marriage, think and plan first. As
a wise man once said “without failing to plan, you are planning to fail.”
Benjamin Franklin
Planning involves critical thinking, weighing the pros
and cons, asking critical questions to ascertain whether it will work or not.
In the equation there are different variables but each of
the variables contribute to making the equation complete. They are dependent on
each other. In the same way, in life, before you do anything, before you take
any decision, seek counsel. In the book of Proverbs, it said “in the
multitude of counselors there is safety” When you surround yourself with good
and influential personalities, it's likely that you will be like them or you will
learn wisdom from them. “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance
of his friend” Pro 27:17 Counsellors know what you don’t know,
they understand what you don’t understand, and have experience more than you do.
Your counsellor can be your parents, teachers, pastors, business men
etc.
From the equation, X2 + 5x + 4= 0, the
variables are different from each other yet, they are all unique and have a
special role in the equation. So in life, we all have different purpose in
life: a purpose is what defines your life. A life without a purpose does not
give fulfillment to your spirit. It’s very important to identify your purpose
in life so that you will know where your life is heading to. If yours is
ministry moved to that field, if yours is politics move into politics, if yours
is writing books, fulfill that purpose and don’t follow someone else’ purpose in
life because the sun and the moon shines at their own time. Don’t compare
yourself to anyone.
The 4 in the equation is called the constant. In life
there are some things that are constant you can’t change it. These are
constant:
God is constant. He is immortal and everlasting. Heaven
and hell are constant. Heaven is place for the righteous soul and hell is also
prepared for sinners. Death is also constant. As it is written in Hebrews
9:27 ”It is appointed for man to die
once and after death judgement” So the kind of life you live on earth will
determine you eternal abode; heaven or hell. I recommend heaven for you all.
Finally, the equation is equated to zero. In life also,
the end of all things is vanity. The bible ask us a business question: “what
will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul”
Mark 8:36. No matter the wealth you amass, no matter the businesses you own, no
matter the millions in your bank account, unless you are born again and have
repented of your sins you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. There is
life after death.
