Hey people!
Happy New Month of April. May this new month be a month of total direction to God’s will for us all and be a month of mind blowing testimonies.
Hope you are doing well and keeping safe! We pray this Coronavirus pandemic becomes history as soon as possible.
In this post, I will be sharing some useful things you can find yourself doing during this lockdown period. So you can be useful to yourself and I am going to be very realistic with you.
If you ask me, this lockdown period is a period one can use to develop oneself effectively before normal activities kick starts again. An opportunity that might not ever occur again if the lord tarries. Hahaha.
So for me, this lockdown has made me closer to God. It made me have more time for my quite time and do things I love doing. You can imagine me doing my devotions inside the Vehicle on my way to work because no time. Yeah, Lagos is that stressful, you know.
So let dive into how this lockdown can be useful for us.
1) Highlight skills you are passionate about and which you’d love to develop yourself in those areas. Now is the opportunity to work on those skills. I’ve been seeing quite a number of entrepreneurs wanting to do online trainings for newbies, some with tokens, some free. Biko seize the opportunity to partake in that which you might love to learn.
2) Be like me and use the opportunity to get more closer to God your creator. Read books that edifies your spiritual growth. Pray to God more often, study and meditate on his word. I have a couple of books that can help you get closer to God. You can send me an email, so I can send you some soft copies that’s worth reading. I am currently reading “The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren” and believe me it’s worth your time and great knowledge to be learnt are in there.
3) Eat, Rest, and Exercise. Trust me this lockdown, so many people are gonna get fat, hahaha. While you eat and rest, endeavor to do exercise so you can burn fat and not live a sedentary lifestyle. It’s even healthy you take some stroll sometimes in the evenings to move and exercise your nerves. Sleep at the right time and don’t over eat because you are home.
4) See movies, read and relax because if you don’t after the lockdown you are going to work your ass out. So enjoy the moment now that you can. You can download Netflix to see movies or watch on YouTube if you wish. Just enjoy the moment.
5) Check on your friends and families now that you have the time to. Call or text them to know how they are keeping up this lockdown and be sure to help those in need if you are capable of doing so. The lord loves a cheerful giver.
6) Don’t spend too much time on social media . Believe me, if you don’t watch it you will subscribe everyday depending on the Apps you use frequently. If you are like me that uses Instagram, Twitter and YouTube more frequently, you need to have a time limit you spend on each so you won’t spend too much on your subscription.
7) Mind your Business this lockdown period. The Bible says “an idle hand is the devil’s workshop” more reason you should not be idle. Find something doing and mind your business. Make sure you are busy doing something reasonable. Idleness makes you wanna jump into what it not your business, so mind you business totally.
Lastly, learn new things you think you should know at your age and stage. If you are a young girl or boy who’s doesn’t know how to cook, or you have younger ones who fall in this category, now is the opportunity to learn and help them learn things that can help them.
Also, this period, try to impact knowledge. Don’t be selfish or stingy. If God lays it in your heart to teach people or help them survive this period. Obey the voice of God and see how God is going to bless you tremendously.
Hope you enjoy yourself and make good use of this period.
Don’t forget to connect with me via social media. I definitely will love to connect with your too.
Please share this post to your friends and let’s learn together.
Be safe guys!
Love and Light always!🌸
