Taking Position

Posted by Adeolu Akinyemi @ July 5th, 2007 | Comments (17)


Welcome to the second half of the greatest match of your life- Year 2007. I don’t know how fulfilling this year has been for you, but if you are a regular on this channel, I’m sure it has been exciting. I don’t know how far ahead the first half moved you, or how many goals down you are, but I assure you, if what I see ahead for you is anything to go by, you will not only equalize, you will win! Half the Year is gone already, today, is the 3rd day in the second half, it’s 2am in the morning, I’ve been struggling to shut my eyes for almost an hour, but I’m so inspired tonight, that I can’t go to bed, without expressing the burning thoughts in my heart. There is nowhere I’m hurrying to tomorrow morning, I will write, that I might be refreshed.

One of the strongest themes that have reverberated consistently in my heart this year is the phrase, taking position. I don’t know how you see this year, but one thought that ever comes to mind whether I’m in deep meditation or trying to think ahead, is the caption - Taking Position. This year is a year, where people will take positions. It’s a year of transitions. Some we have experienced as a nation, but most we will experience as individuals. It’s not all that I expect to agree with me, but as many has have hearts who feel touched by this thought, I am sent. This year, you will take position! (more…)

In case you have not noticed, I love and fear God, I’m also a devoted follower of the principles and person of Jesus Christ! I’m saying this just to set the records straight. Some of you will like me more, some less, and some will not care more or less. I’m saying this so you understand my tilt, and know that I’m nothing but a steward of everything in my care.

Haven understood that first paragraph, another thing I’ll like you to know about me, is that I do not fear death. Death is scary, don’t get me wrong, but I confronted the thought of it so much that I’m not scared by the shadow of death. As a matter of fact, I believe that one of the most limiting things to the human potential is a fear of death. When you conquer the fear of death, you live life to the fullest. One of my most enjoyed methods of confronting death, is to sit down, and think up what I want to be my epitaph. It’s called living today with the end in mind. Stephen Covey wrote some great thoughts about this in 7 habits of highly effective people. I’ve done this a lot, and one that has been most consistent for about a year in my mind is this one… Still a Blessing. (more…)
