However, much of this busyness is an illusion, masking a deeper idleness. True productivity is not about filling our days with activities, but about engaging in tasks that align with our life's purpose. - Ernest Odogba When we fill our time with activities that don’t contribute to our ultimate goals, we are essentially idle. This form of idleness can be deceptive because it feels like we are accomplishing something, but in reality, we are merely spinning our wheels without making meaningful progress. - Ernest Odogba Even during moments of fun and leisure, there's often an opportunity to make strides toward our dreams. The challenge is recognizing these moments and seizing them. When we lack the opportunity to engage in ventures aligned with our vision, we tend to drift into activities that don’t count towards our purpose. - Ernest Odogba To break free from this cycle of idle busyness, we need to be intentional with our time. We must evaluate our daily actions and ensure they are contributing to our broader goals. This means prioritizing tasks that matter and letting go of those that don’t. - Ernest Odogba By aligning our activities with our purpose, we transform idle time into productive moments, even during rest and relaxation. This intentional approach ensures that every moment counts, propelling us closer to our dreams and fulfilling our true purpose in life. - Ernest Odogba When we fill our time with activities that don’t contribute to our ultimate goals, we are essentially idle. This form of idleness can be deceptive because it feels like we are accomplishing something, but in reality, we are merely spinning our wheels without making meaningful progress. - Ernest Odogba This deceptive idleness occurs when we engage in tasks that give the appearance of productivity but don’t align with our core objectives or purpose. It’s easy to become absorbed in the busyness of everyday life, yet these activities can divert our focus from what truly matters. - Ernest Odogba I have so much to give to my world. Time and opportunities may sometimes hold me back, but I firmly believe that I will prevail. I am determined to finish the task God has given me with joy and fulfillment. Despite the challenges, I remain steadfast in my mission to make a meaningful impact, trusting that with perseverance and faith, I will complete my God-given purpose. - Ernest Odogba My life will be very miserable if all I have to show is how many cars I have, how many houses I build, how much money I made or have, and how many children I have. They are good but that will be very miserable. What will give me joy and fulfillment is what I do for the Kingdom’s sake. The larger the number of people I influence, the millions of people I can touch, bringing salvation, healing, and deliverance to empower them to become happy in life, that is my joy. That is my happiness. I want you to pray for me so that this dream will come to pass. Nothing counts as happiness if not for this. I need your prayer. - Ernest Odogba You may have children, a good husband or wife, money, a good job, houses, cars, and property, yet still be very poor in the Kingdom of God. The most important and valuable thing in life is the people God uses you to bless and influence for the Kingdom's sake. That is what you will be rewarded for. That is your true joy, and it should be your mission. - Ernest Odogba 'A Call to Die Empty and Fulfill Your Purpose I am determined to die empty, to poured out everything God has deposited within me for this generation. I realize that I have not yet exhausted even 10% of what l am capable of delivering. The burden to be a blessing and a deliverer to the world weighs heavily on my heart, and I am still brimming with potential and purpose. I need open doors and opportunities to share the wealth of knowledge, skills, and spiritual gifts that I possess. My focus is not on what I have already achieved but on what lies ahead in fulfilling God's kingdom purposes. There is so much more to give, to do, and to accomplish for the glory of God. My prayer is for divine connections, favor, and the right platforms to effectively reach and impact lives. I seek God's guidance and strength to maximize every opportunity and to stay committed to the vision He has placed in my heart. I am driven by the desire to leave a legacy that honors God and transforms lives. Every day is a chance to move closer to that goal, ensuring that when my time comes, I will have emptied myself of every gift, every talent, and every ounce of potential. May God grant me the wisdom, courage, and perseverance to continue this journey, to see His will fulfilled in my life, and to make a lasting difference in this world. My eyes are fixed on the future, eager to see how God will use me to advance His kingdom and bring hope to those in need. - Rev. Ernest Odogba LESSON FROM THOMAS EDISON In 1896, Thomas Edison, the great inventor of the electric bulb, was working on a car design when he learned that a young man in his company had created an experimental car. Edison met this young man, Henry Ford, at a company party in New York and was thoroughly impressed by his gasoline-powered car idea. Edison, who had been considering electricity as a power source, enthusiastically encouraged Ford, saying, "Young man, that's the thing! You have it! I think you are on to something! I encourage you to continue your pursuits!" Encouraged by the respected inventor, Henry Ford continued his work, eventually inventing a car that made him wealthy. On December 9, 1914, Edison's laboratory and factory were destroyed by fire. At 67 years old, the damage was too extensive for insurance to cover. Before the ashes were cold, Henry Ford handed Edison a check for $750,000 with a note saying Edison could have more if needed. In 1916, Ford relocated his home next to Edison's. When Edison was later confined to a wheelchair, Ford also got a wheelchair so they could race each other. Thomas Edison made Henry Ford believe in himself, creating a friendship for life. LESSON: Don't ever be jealous of others' success. If you can't win a race, help the person in front of you break the record. Your candle doesn't lose its light by lighting another. Let us follow this example of supporting and uplifting each other!
