MY OLD AGE SHALL
NOT CRY
It is a pathetic
case when a man or woman finds his/herself in a situation of regrets in the latter days of life; the
period that are supposed to be a period of rest, a period of peace and succor;
it now becomes a period full of regrets
and pain; when they begin to say; Had I known? What was I thinking then? What a
wasted life! May this not be your portion in Jesus name.
It is
very painful and unfortunate when you find a 50 to 60 years old man doing
conductor or doing manual labor job; it is pitiful you find a lot of old people
in situation that are not Convenient; a situation of tears. Your old age
shall not cry in Jesus name.
Many
young people are living their life like there is no tomorrow
Some will
say, let us enjoy this life, you will only pass through this life once
Man’s
life its divide into three
1.
Your early years 1 - 12
2.
Your teenage years 13 - 20
3.
Your active years 21 – 45
4.
Your passive years 46-
60
5.
Your old age 61-100
Whether you like it or not, this period
will come
Remember.....what will happen in the
last quarter of your life
This is a
very serious matter which every serious person should take very seriously. For
you to determine a tearless old age, you need to take the decision today; to need
to take action today.
People
that find themselves in this awful situation never planned or wished to be
there; most of the time this situation is triggered by some factors in the life
of that person.

Determining Factors that may cause your Old Age To Cry
Factor
1: Laziness
|
Laziness is
resting when you are not tired.
"He becometh poor that
dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich." {Proverbs
10:4}
"For even when we were with
you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he
is not to eat, either."{2 Thessalonians 3:10}
This
is a very serious issue, many people have lost a lot of opportunity just
because of laziness. In God's agenda, there is no room for wastage; God is
never idle .
A lot of
destinies have been truncated on the altar of laziness. In the world today
there a lot of factors that feeds our laziness. Such is the internet,
Common Habits to identify a Lazy
Person:
v Too
much Sleep:
"As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his
bed." {Proverbs 26:14}.
Just as a door
won’t move in any direction without hanging on to its hinges, so is that person
that loves sleep too much. All day long all you hear them say is that they
can’t wait to get to bed or to lie down.
A lot of people
have made a hobby on sleeping. Research says that an average man spends 26years of his lifetime sleeping; even
some heavy sleepers will double that.
They go around
yawning all the time. It’s hard to get them to do anything that takes away from
their sleep time. They aren’t going very far from their place of rest.
v Love
excuses:
"The slothful man saith, There is a lion
without, I shall be slain in the streets." {Proverbs 22:13}
It has been
said that if you don’t want to do something that any excuse will do. No one can
find more excuses to not do something than the person who is too lazy to do
anything.
v “know-it-all”
& Un-teachable Character:
"The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit
than seven men that can render a reason." { Proverbs 26:16 }.
They will tell
you why they can’t do something and find every reason in the world why they are
right in their assumption. You can’t argue with a lazy person. There are a lot
of people who will starve to death before they will admit that they are lazy
but they won’t work for anything less than top salary.
v They
are procrastinators.
They always put things off until the last minute and are always
late for everything, if they show up at all. They never finish anything they
start but find every excuse for not continuing with any project. They tire very
easily and just give up rather than to attempt to improve.
v Irritate
Others, especially those who are busy:
Busy people with a vision and a dream to chase don’t have much
patience or compassion for those who are not.
"As
vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that
send him."{ Proverbs 10:26}
Don’t expect a sluggard to get the job done. If you do, you will
always be disappointed. Their inactivity and bad attitude will put a bitter
taste in your mouth and make your eyes water with aggravation and you will,
most likely, have to do the job yourself anyway.
Factor
2: Lack
of Vision
|
Another determining factor that make people regret at their old
age is when they do not sit down at their early stage and have a vision.
