Dedicated to all our matrics of 2016.
If only the academics were your biggest concern. You have both peer and parent pressure. You have the pressure to achieve a certain level of marks to enter a field of study you or your parents have chosen.
If you don’t get those marks, you may feel like a failure. The key to success is simple – avoid distractions and don’t waste time.
This simple formula is important, not only for our matrics, but for every one of us.
As a Christian you have the same battle. There are dozens of distractions to keep you away from Bible reading, praying and attending church.
A student has to have studies as a priority, especially with the final exams a few weeks away. Discipline is so important if you want to achieve your best.
As a Christian, I also have certain priorities: the discipline of reading my Bible, making time for prayer and going to church. This reminds me of the word of a Sunday School song, Read your Bible, pray every day and you grow, grow, grow. Neglect your Bible, forget to pray and you will shrink, shrink, shrink.
PS. Seven prayerless days makes one weak.
