It is therefore a serious issue in the workings and attainment of man. Often times children of the same father and mother go to ''war'' just to interpret or have a foot hold on the will. It often leads to diabolism and death of the contenders. Unfortunately, the greatest will a man ever aspire, desire or yearn for is freely given and practical.
The Bible makes it clear that God created man for the (WILL) purpose of multiplication and fruitfulness among others. Why doesn't man fight to possess that which was achieved, worked for by another? Biological affinity is not the basis for written will(s) anymore. We see affluent people write out a will, where the sole benefactor is their pet (cat, dog, rabbit).
If your parents do not consider it appropriate to include you in their will, be thankful to God. They have only told you that you do not need 'Tokunbo' (second hand). You deserve a brand new blessing from the Almighty that no man can lay claims to. it is also pertinent to know that your profession has little or nothing to do with the will of the father for you.
We have seen in our local and tribal environment that some people with degrees in political science do not make outstanding political leaders or career. Not all that have qualifications (educational) in business excel in that field of endeavour. I see educational pursuit as a window of exposure to help your decision making mechanism that guides your future.
You may be wandering how God gives His Will? Words and experiences are some of the examples that mould and regulate our future endeavours.
The Word of God is infallible. However, it works for only those hold on firmly to it. Life is a choice! Wealth is a choice! Excellence is a choice! Marital maturity and good success are all products of choice.
Paul said in Romans 8:28 ''all things work together for good to them that are called according to His purpose - will of God''.
All things can only work in your favour only if we take time to check out what is the purpose of God for your life. One way to accomplish this is by studying relevant scriptures that can impart information into your reasoning faculty and ultimately mould and guide your decision making that leads to actions that brings you to opportunities that pushes you forward into good success and a rewarding
future. The projections of time tested economists have failed. The world is still in the partial phase of economic meltdown. Job cuts, salary cuts, spending cuts and ''give ups'' are real. We have seen all these in the last eighteen months. Sad to say, the ''gurus'' of economic and financial theories, policies and principles, never foresaw these setbacks. In the midst of these however, people that were wise got richer.
The unarguable reality of life is a disaster to someone is an opportunity to another person to be richer. How? A collapsed structure is a disaster and a loss to the owner or government, but to the construction companies, it is an opportunity to evacuate the debris of the collapsed structure and build anew. The cost is to the owner, the benefit to the contractor.
There is a purpose (WILL) of God for our lives. We must discover that purpose no matter where we are right now and forge ahead.
God is the all-knowing and purposeful one. Joshua was just a ''houseboy'' to Moses not knowing that God had a purpose for that positioning. When Moses died, it was expected that his son or biological relation will be called to take over from the ''houseboy'' that has seen all, though in the capacity of execution, not decision making. God went ahead to tell Joshua that all the days of his (Joshua's) life no opposition will be able to overwhelm him. What an assurance! All the while God had such a grandiose plan (purpose/will) for a mere houseboy; and it came to pass. In the entire life journey of Joshua, God was with him confirming, executing and blessing his actions based on HIS purpose for Joshua's life. And Joshua finished well.
My desire in life is to finish well. There is nothing more fulfilling than to finish well. You can finish well no matter where you have been, or where life's circumstance had placed you. Get up; reach out to the promises (purpose/will) of God. Get back to work. In a record time, you will become your dream. Man does not and cannot originate an enduring will.
The greatest and assumed greatest that man had improvised have fizzled out. Successful businesses are not built around a bunch of professionals but enduring values, policies and principles that carry vision and unselfish mission statement that are traceable to the will of God. You can make history. You can rewrite your history. Forget about the setbacks of the past. Reach out to the future and hold on to the most high God. He is well able to see you through. Go and actualise good success in your life in Jesus name. Amen!
