It Goes with the territory

It goes with the territory

Welcome back to another new article on designing life. In this article, I will endeavor to share on some life paradoxes. My objective is that you remain objective so as not to be subject to unfruitful mindsets.

Faith without works is dead.
This statement is as plain as it can get. Yet many are the times we need hours of sermons to get the message sink in so as we pattern our walk in its truth. This has been the contradiction between thought and  action.

That which you will to do ends up being postponed untested and dusty on the shelves of procrastination. Sooner, it's overtaken by events and the wherewithal to execute is relinquished. Implementation is elusive when the strategic logic is negated

The fruit of good faith is in the works. There are works which inexcusably and inevitably go with the territory of faith. In fact, they ought to be done at the very moment the faith to do them is available. Postponed faith never works, it always comes too late.

The works are the Spirit of the body. A body without works is dead.

It is only wishful thinking that denotes faith as the spirit of the body. It's weak and needs godly training. Meanwhile it's destined to be destroyed.

I believe this was the fire that kindled the human relations theory in management. That those who do the work, those who serve the customers ought to be involved in decision making. The challenge has always been the same, putting it in the books as faith but denying its truth in practice. No wonder the helplessness if not deadness in many organizations.

Well personally, I have silently noticed our tendency to fall into unfaithful works. When it's time to shoot out of bed, we prefer to a little fold of hands. When we eventually get up, its always too late to do that which require the wee hours of our day. Faith went out of the window unfortunately. It goes with the territory.

My final word. Be instant, but deny instant gratification. Thank me later.
