SAWDUST OR GOLDUST?

-

 


     

        SITTING on a field, deep in meditation on what humanity is sentenced to, and there, I was caught up in a vision where I saw a Man whose appearance was beyond description. Unto Him assembled every man from the four corners of the earth to receive their assignments with a different time of return specific to each.


We must admit the time of man is short, and we've got our annual reminder.

      

       Then I saw different shades; those mindful of their assignment and the allotted time, and each gathering based on his capacity. Also, those distracted from their duty, gathering little to none and those working deceitfully to gather much. But this wasn't for long as the call-up bell rings for individuals, each by default stops work and heads home.


       At the gate, each had their labour changed into two different refinery standards, irrespective of the quantity. Then I discovered every man who was dutiful with his assignment had his labour changed into goldust, and those distracted and deceitful had their labour changed into sawdust.


         Here is the crux of the matter: every man's labour must be tested by fire to assess the integrity of his labour.  Those with sawdust failed the test, having their labour burnt right before them, and those with goldust had their labour stand the test, beaming with excellence.


The former had no reward, while the latter secured their reward.


     In your labour in life, take a pause, reconsider your ways and ask, What have I been gathering, SAWDUST or GOLDUST? He that is committed and truthful to his assignment knows, and he that is distracted and deceitful knows his as well.

You can deceive others but you can't deceive yourself or He that sent you. He knows everyone and will reward everyone according to their labour.


       Before you go too far, RECONSIDER and ask, "Is my labour a SAWDUST or GOLDUST?" "Will it stand the fire or be consumed?"

Remember, the assignment is TIME-BOUND, and a call-up letter can come when you think you've got enough time.

PRESSING ON OR PRESSED DOWN.

   Life is full of "hila-hilos" — ups and downs, and we're responsible for whatever we make out of these seasons. We're encouraged when things are working out according to our plans and discouraged when things happen otherwise. These are normal responses to life situations, but the big matter is how we respond when things are odd.      In seasons when we have a lot against us; opposition, challenges, hard times and others, this is when our real person is put to the test and revealed, and we're the sole determinant of what the outcome of this season will be.   We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  2 Corin 4:8,9(NKJV)      We can decide if in our troubles and hard times we will allow ourselves to be PRESSED DOWN — discouraged, disappointed and lose hope, or we PRESS ON — keep hope alive and use the rubble to build something be...

LIFE RACE.

        A ll that surrounds the survival of humanity pushes us into running even without knowing what's setting us on a race, nor do we know how to run effectively, nor the end to which we're running. All we know is that we must run. Humanity in different phases of life is constantly being set in a race by different factors, which include: parents' desires, society, the educational system, and peer pressure, to mention but a few, and there seems to be no end to this frantic race.    Have you ever asked yourself these questions before:    • Why am I running?    • Where am I heading?    • How do I run effectively?    If you can't adequately provide substantial answers to those questions, you're at the mercy of the pressures posed to you by the factors listed above.           WHY AM I RUNNING?    I'm running because I know there's a vision before me. Write down this vision. Write it cle...

LEADING AND BLEEDING.

  L eadership is a great responsibility that only those who have given themselves to be rightly prepared are truly fit to take up the task; hence, it's not a position for frivolity. We know there are various leaders, but here my references are to true leaders. Leaders doesn't emerge over the night, they've gone through building processes over the years through which they've had series of tearing and mending, rejection and acceptance, discouragement and upliftment, tears and happiness, agony and relief, yet they kept the focus in their hearts knowing the scars at each checkpoint is a healing balm to those following.   Leaders are not self-centred, such that even in their downtime, they find courage to strengthen the feeble knees.  They go all out with so much compassion and intentionality, with no sense of gain to attend to as many in need of help. These are the ones whose paths are blood-marked, yet with consistency, have been proven by endurance and perseverance. They...
