Live From the Future

“Take it one day at a time” will not always be a firm statement. Once in a while, you’ll have to glance into your future, and the vision you’ll behold will never be unseen.

As I write this (on 21st October 2022), I’m thinking about a frightening leap I’m about to take. I’m to join an investment club whose vision is to ensure every member owns their plot of land. I convinced God that they buy plots that are far from town. He told me one day they’ll buy plots in town. I told Him it is expensive. He told “Live from the future!”

He alluded,

“You won’t be 20 forever. You won’t be under your parents’ house forever. You won’t be single forever, and this is not whether you’ll be the bride or groom. Where will you stay? ( for the case of you reading…)

If you’re renting you should not rent forever.

You’ll have children one day, you’ll have to make your parents grandparents. What world will you bring them into? A one bedroomed house? No! You yourself wouldn’t want that now would you!

The clock is only significant because of the next moment. 11 o’clock wouldn’t make sense if there was no midnight. Today wouldn’t make sense if there was no tomorrow or yesterday. Some people say “Life is too short.” Well, your short maybe 100 years. How will you look like at your 99th! You better be not forgotten in a dump somewhere!

Live from that future now!”

One day you’ll be a grandparent, and another you won’t. After death where will you go, will you have a mansion in the Heavenly city, or will you be begging Abraham and his descendants to cross a chasm and bring a drop of water for your tongue in a lake of furnace!

It’s moments like these, that cause me to tremble and return from vision, back to the present, and WORK!

For sometimes, we need motivation from the future, to be able to work today. I have told myself all year, that I’d release two books this year. I jump to December by calendar and I see that I’m not yet near achieving that. Quickly, I journey back to today, and do what I must, to have the books ready by then.

Live from the future!
