Psalm 90: 12: So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Ephesians 5: 16: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

James 4: 13-15: Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Hello,

How are you doing? Hopefully, you are doing good in Christ. Just a little update about me, I have wasted my time doing things that don’t matter, not keeping my face in the word of God. For clarity, I have been busy being busy. Being in the final year of my university degree, I have shifted all my life to my academics. I have not placed God in the control of my life. I have always put God first to this point, I don’t know where exactly it went wrong for me, but I have drifted away from God. I am busy reading my academic books to pass and forgetting to call on Almighty God for help. I have continued to tell myself to wait on God, and to finish my studies first. I have made everything about me. It has now been me, me, me. I know it definitely should not be like that. I think I have the time to waste to put God on hold. What am I doing with my life? I have wasted time doing nothing for God. I have placed myself first. it’s always about me, me, me. I have been too focused on the world. I have set God on hold. I have been too focused on pursuing a career to be something. I have put pursuing Christ second. I have been too focused on trying to be nice to the people of this world. I have placed the fellowship with the saints second. At this point, I want God first, am dropping all the things I have placed first before God.

I am posting this because I know there is someone out there as well who is also like me. Taking the wrong path, but still claiming to love God and doing His will. There is no joy in being a backsliding Christian at all, it’s the worst position to be in. God saved you from the world that hates God, now all of a sudden you love the world again. What a horrible feeling. We are to follow God and not the World. We are to put God first and not ourselves. We are to love God with all our heart and might. Please, please, please don’t let us deceive ourselves, it is better for us to repent according to the word of God now, and get back to God, rather than waste our souls because we claimed to love God, when we know it is not the case at all.

Thanks for reading and KEEP THE FAITH STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
