ONE DESTINATION, NUMEROUS BUS-STOPS.
In Life, any journey is as important as the destination. In fact, in a great book, 'The Art of Pilgrimage', the author noted that: 'A journey without challenges has no meaning'
In a song by Asa, 'Bed of stones' a part of the lyric reads:
'She's been sleeping on a bed of stone, By a window where no light goes, She wakes to the row of the traffic rumbling outside,
Then she remembers her dream and smiles'
What I want you to note about that lady was that despite all she is going through she has never forgotten about her dreams, her aspirations.
No one cares the year you got out of High school, how many times you have written the UTME, what you look like, your background, how many Universities you have attempted at before winding up at the University of Ibadan.
I for example have written the UTME four times, attempted at UNILAG, attempted at a Scholarship at the University of Westminster, London(Nigeria was not on the list of supported countries), LAUTECH(Pre-degree) now am at U.I,.
I could have as well have settled for anything I was offered, but no way, I am not settling for anything less than God's best. It's just a sense of mission.
You don't want to show up at heaven's gate one day in the far future and feel bitter that you didn't become all you could be.
'I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright...Lord plant my feet on higher ground'
To get to the promised land, you'll have to navigate your way through the wilderness. All of us encounter obstacles, problems and challenges across our paths. How we respond to them and view them is one of the most important decisions that we can make.
I know of a man in his 70s studying Medicine in LAUTECH, a lady who got a first-class from Lead city University after getting pregnant in her Undergraduate days at UNILORIN which made her drop out, a whole lot of GrandPas bagging Firstclass' here and there.
You know what, a man with twenty challenges is twice as alive as a man with ten. If you haven't got any challenges, you should get down on your knees as ask, 'Lord, don't you trust me anymore?' So what if you've got problems. That's good! Why? Because consistent victories over your problems are the steps on your stairway to success. Be thankful for your problems
'In this world you will have troubles. But take heart! I have overcomed the world' (John 16:33, NIV)
On a final note, seek Grace. Grace is the difference between the heathen and the saint, the redeemed and the condemned, the living and the dead. The dead are not more sinful than the living. It is grace that has made your being alive possible.
Psalm 130:3 says 'If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O LORD, who could stand'
That point being struck, we are human and most times we feel we know it all, I can read for 7hrs non-stop, I know all the works of shakespeare, what the heck is in Chemical equilibrium, who doesn't know when lyttleton promulgated his law?
My brother/sister, that's not the basis, everything hangs on a balance. It's only God that can do exceedingly above all that you can think, dream or aspire about.
However, Grace without works is dead.
In essence don't quit finish what you started!.
Good morning, The University of Ibadan.
