Cultivate Reading Habit

Why is life boring to people? Why are they confused? Why are they dry? Why do they have time for strifes? Why do they quarel unending? Why do they nurture unforgiveness? Why do they envy? Why do they go to prophets to tell them what their future hold for them? Why do they while away their time with drunkards, prostitutes, smokers? Why are there no substance in what they say?

The answer is simple: They lack knowledge! Hosea 4:7,therefore they perish inside all the issues raised above and many more.

There's nothing happening to you now that has never happen to someone before and that that person has not solved one way or the other. All you need is find out who the person is and how they had solved it and then apply the principle to your life. Then as another issue faces you, read about people who have faced it before and how they solved it and again apply their principles to your life. Gradually, you are gaining knowledge and practical wisdom. Very soon you will not need a Prophet (true or false) to tell you about your future.

I don't have time to read! That's the most defeating statement any living soul can make! Don't be among them. Create the time. Instead of sleeping in the office (where you will eventually be compulsorily sacked or retired when you least expect or when business is down which happening now), instead of going to beer parlour, clubs, pepper soup joints, harlots dens, to waste away your life thinking you are enjoying or avoiding the pressures of the world which will always resurface after such 'breaks', etc, go home on time and read for 2 hours everyday before you sleep.

I am a Minister, Imam, or... so am too busy! Don't be buried in religious deceit. The truth is that without EXPANDED KNOWLEDGE, you will soon dry out and your followers will ask questions!

What do I read and where do I start? Begin with the Bible Every day, read like this: Start with Gen. 1, Psalm 1, Matt.1. Then read Prov. 8 (today's date and continue like that every day of the month). That's for today. Tomorrow proceed to Gen. 2, Psa.2,Prov.9 and Matt.2. Go on like that till you finish reading the entire Bible. It does not matter what your religion is. This scheme will help you. Every month, make sure complete the book of Proverbs. This way, by 8th December 2010 you would have read Prov. 12 times and Psalms at least twice plus(150*2.

It does not end there. Read at least 1 literature book in a month and 1 particular book dealing with an issue facing you right now e.g. How to raise good children; how do I make my marriage work, how do I find the right partner, how do I record first-class in my studies, how do I create wealth, etc depending upon the challenges you are facing.

Which literature book? Start with Ben Carsons books. 1. Gifted Hands, 2.Think Big, 3. The Big Picture 4.Take The Risk. Then visit www.letsharexperience to read my free book titled "Better Tomorrow". Read Daily Energiser everyday. etc.

You are not through yet. Read the newspapers everyday.

You can't follow this advice and remain who you are today. It's not possible. You would have advanced in K.W.U.(wisdom,knowledge and understanding). You would need no prophets to tell you about your future. You would have become a problem solver. Above all your life would have been so transformed that you have no time for mundane things of this world.

The greatest thing to prize is Fear of the Lord which produces wisdom,knowledge and understanding. Then you would have been CONSTRUCTIVELY BUSY ALL YOUR LIFE! Good morning.
