Why is education important? Why do we need education and spirituality? Since our goal is to prepare for heaven, do we need education again?

Education is an enlightening experience. We all come to this world with an empty brain just like a clean sheet of paper. We begin to learn as we grow and that is the purpose of education, to discover our talent and liquidate the ignorance.

Why we need to be educated;

• To develop our skills and knowledge.

• To know the right way and correct orders.

• For unforeseen circumstances.

There are some courses you will do in school that is compulsory but not related to your field of study. For example; how is mathematics related to mass communication? It is not related but you must not be limited to only your area of concentration. That is why we have general courses so that when others are speaking, you can also speak, you can also know what is happening in other field. You need to train yourself for unforeseen circumstances.

• To show yourself approved before God

For someone who is not educated, he or she cannot be used of God because how can a person who cannot read or write do the work of God? Just pray that everything you do will be approved before God.

• Education helps us to read and write in order to connect globally.

You can't be in front of the manager of a company or a millionaire and be speaking your dialect. The person you are talking to may understand your dialect but because it is not the official language, you might be disqualified.

• Education brings honour

When we are educated, we will be honoured. Literate people are held in high esteem. The lady that won a national award recently was able to stand before the President of this nation and talk to him. If she was only into sports without education, would she have been able to stand before the 'king'?

To be spiritual means

• To represent God

• To follow the commandment of God

• To commit our totality to God

You must cast your burdens on God because he cares for you.

• To be heavenly minded.

  Paul said if our hope is just for this earth, we are of most men miserable. If all the denying yourself of ungodliness is just for this world, we are of all men most miserable. We must be heavenly minded. Our gaze must be on heaven.

• Stand firm in Christ

The greatest evil that can happen to a believer is to go to the same hell fire that you have warned sinners to avoid.

How do you manage your time? Successful people know the value of time. If you don't know the value of time, go to a radio or television station. If you waste time, who will give you back? If you lose money, you can get it back.

If you will balance academics and spirituality;

• You must set time to read and pray. God is not a magician. When it is time to read, read and read. Pray at the right time.

• Know your capacity both physically and academically.

When you know your capacity, you will know your strength. If you are a slow learner, start reading ahead. Don't wait until it is a week to the exam before you start reading.

Work harder and learn more

Pray always. Men ought always to pray and not to faint. pray at all times Philippians 4:6. Be anxious for nothing, it will only cause high blood pressure.

Eat the word Joshua 1:8. Study the Bible always.

Hard labour without God is in vain

No matter how knowledgeable we are, it is nothing without God because the race is not to the Swift nor the battle to the strong.

Have a nice weekend 💖
