. . . and the evening and the morning were the first day!



Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
  
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. {And the evening
  
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The above excerpts were culled from the Holy Bible. It’s all in the First Book and on the first chapter. Am gonna talk about something that we, Alphasoars must take cognizance of as we ride on the clouds to take our place in the skies. It’s about perseverance, purpose and pursuit.
Many of us would like to attain greater heights in the next 24 hours, if really it could be possible. Really, success is good having my good friends. How do you attain this success, how do you surpass those of your mates who claim to be on the same ride with you.
It is by persevering. Taking the creator of the heaven and earth for our key study now, you will understand that his creations even in his infiniteness and almightiness, he never created the world in one day. It took him six good days to do this. But then, he stayed on it not minding what it will take, knowing fully well what was in His mind – creating a heaven on earth.

There are two basic things I will like to point out in the creation of our awesome God.
The first one is the post heading, ‘. . . and the evening and the morning were the first day’. This statement in the Bible appeared six times as you read above. What interests me here is the fact that it wasn’t, ‘. . .  and the morning and the evening were the first day’.
The work started in the evening. There is always a night before a dawn. There is always a time of sowing which precedes reaping. Many people go through life and never realize that obstacles are stepping stones that acts as catalyst to breakthrough. What am I saying here then? What am pointing out here is the fact that THERE WAS A NIGHT BEFORE DAY IN THE HISTORY OF CREATION and this night could be referred to as those obstacles we encounter daily as we make progress in life trying to achieve the purpose of God for our lives.

So in all, realize that your nights and evenings are nothing but CATALYST. They speed up the rate at which you succeed.
‘God’s adversity is His University’.
Furthermore, what I see in this creation story is that it wasn’t God alone that was on the earth doing all the creation. He had to his aid, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
How did I know?

Let’s read Gen 1:26>>> And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

You cannot be alone and you say, ‘let us’. So these companions were fully in fellowship with Him. I wrote about friendship here and here, so if you have not gone through those posts, you can do so now.
There is need for partnership with other success minded individuals as you Soar to your desired destiny.
Success is yours and ours.


Happy soaring!!!

  3. Ooooossshheeey Turn uP! Alphasoar Baba.. this post is sooo apt and i can sooo relate with it.. This line got me the most:

    "So in all, realize that your nights and evenings are nothing but CATALYST. They speed up the rate at which you succeed." and to it i went.. Yyyyeeeaahh mehn!

    Its amazing boss.. How we are quick to forget to realize that only through fire is gold purified. Only after a stormy rain session is there a beauRRIful rainbow.. Only after pain is there gain.. Most of us really want all to be perfect.. But the truth is that will never happen.. We have to Suffer much to enjoy much more.. This was such a ghen ghen read Mr. C.E.O sir... and i can so relate..

    As regards Friendship sir.. Kindly permit me to end with a popular quote: "Alone on a journey you will go Fast... but with the crowd on the same journey.. you will go further.. the choice is yours.." Our association matters a lot.. Cheers Boss.. this was an enlightening ghen ghen read... and the crowd goes.. OOooooosshheey Turn uP!
