Chilled Thursday

Hey family!

I trust we’re all doing well! I’m resting, lol—I knew I needed to because my body was doing the most. I’ve learned it’s foolish not to rest because even God Himself rested. Who sets a better standard than God? Sleep when you need to. Put away that laptop; you don’t need it at 3 a.m. Don’t harm your body in the name of “I’m a hard worker.” Yesterday, my best friend said, “Your body is a temple, and you need it for territorial influence.”

While the concept of work is of God, since creation, Adam was created and given an assignment to tend to (work on) the garden, rest is also very important. Toil is work under a curse and I believe many of us are toiling and we think it’s wise to do so. “I have to, I have bills to pay.” Yes, but you need your body to operate on earth. Spirits don’t go to work at FNB or wherever you work. Once you die, you’re illegal on earth. Even if you’re a soul winner, even if you’re a pastor, if your body is overworked it’ll be overwhelmed and it’ll eventually report it to you and if you ignore it, it will leave the scene. Your body can abandon you.

BTW, this blog is not for those who rest more than they work. Your body is also begging you to get busy with studies or some work. I’m addressing those who don’t even take a few mins to sleep because they want to be busy bodies. Please get it from me on this very lovely Thursday or you will learn the hard way. What happened to me these past couple of days ehnn? I kept telling myself “I will do better.” Today I’m soooo tempted to just do 3 things that I know will take up most of my day BUT guess what, I’m chilling. I’m laying down , reading my bible because my dhiyeeee, I can’t keeee myself.

This is a good time to meditate on your dreams. What have l done since the year begun? What are my next steps? Start dreaming again. Think of how far you wanna go, design your company in your head, sometimes fantasising triggers the creative part of our minds . It doesn’t cost anything to think. That’s all I’m doing today. Studying the word and thinking. Everything else? No. Wisdom says I can do all things but I can’t do all of them in one day. Work well under pressure but if it’s like that daily? You’re slaving away. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Here’s a book you can read today ;
