Read carefully…
It is dangerous to be found always in the public serving. Men whose words matter in the open are lovers of their personal time. If what you do all days is to continue to run around for others without a definite period of the day for yourself you are a suspect.
Friends, all your efforts to make sure you impress the people around you would be effort in futility if you have no personal time to impress yourself. If you are not impressed or motivated by the way you live your life per day, why go about trying to impress others?
Sir/Ma, the first person to be impressed is yourself, any dimension of life that is not found in you cannot be released to others. You must posses that dimension before you can successfully transfer it to others. Give more attention to loading yourself with great substances, then you can effectively affect others.
How can anyone be motivated around you when you are void of personal motivation? Get yourself helped through an incessant connection with the Helper of the helpless (God), if not, those you want to die for would soon tell you they are tired of your service if you are void of the substance which could enhance your effective delivery.
Am not saying helping others is bad, but if such is taking away the time you have to freshen up yourself both physically and spiritually, you must be very careful. All these they must see me kind of service must stop if you don’t want to be stopped untimely by the same men you think you are impressing.
If you can go a whole day serving others and sweating profusely, why don’t you advance the quality of the time you use for yourself so that you can stay relevant in God and before men? Many are alive but very unhappy about their lives because they add no value to themselves. Men who add value to themselves always will certainly be needed any day any time.

Any job that is taking the whole of your day and doesn’t even allow you to have any time for personal things, such has prayers, studying and meditation has taken your life. The fact is that you can’t buy back the life with the wages you would eventually get from your hard labours.
Are you a minister of God and you are found of ministering to others always without any quiet moments to hear from heaven? Are you very committed to the church administrative assignments that you have no time again to study your Bible? Please you need to be very careful with this your activity filled day, and sit down because God has been waiting to talk to you.
Whatever that takes the highest percentage of your time per day is what you are serving. Your time is your life, anyone you devote your time for is your master. You need to wake up to this reality and give yourself a very quality time for fellowship, meditation, prayer, and purpose related assignments.
Jesus Christ was about His father’s business during His earthly ministry. The scripture says Jesus was going everywhere preaching the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 9:35). Yet He mapped out wonderful times to fellowship with His father. See what the scripture says about Jesus.
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Mark 1:35.
“After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.” Matthew 14:23.
You need to learn how to dismiss some things or people and separate yourself from many distractions to fellowship with your father. Men with great worth have great pleasure in keeping themselves out of multitude to be prune so that they can appear different when next they come before men. You must check it if your best place is in the public.
