MONITORING.
Monitoring (according
to word-web dictionary): the act of observing something and sometimes keeping a
record of it.
I will like to start by
saying: ‘Every information is a product of observation’ and that means
when we fail to observe we fail to be informed - and definitely we become
deformed.- Monitoring!
A
deal according to the picture I attached last week as that thing you find
yourself doing with zeal creating a vision of a potential only you can feel.
What is that thing that
takes up your heart? What is that thing that gives you a vision of a brighter
tomorrow? That’s the deal you need a meal for. The first meal we want to
discuss today is Monitoring.
There is a way
monitoring works and I’ll take you through that it in some minutes.
I
told you earlier: ‘Every Information is a product of Observation (Monitoring)
but it takes:
Information
+ Observation (Monitoring) = Product.
I
am trying to calculate this out: You need to monitor
i.e. get all information around you to get information for yourself.
What can I do? Where can I do it? When can I
do it? Why do I want to do it? How do I do it best? How does it positively
impact others and myself?
Questions like this
birth series of Information which are very important. No wonder the scriptures
said; ‘My people perish for
lack of knowledge(Hosea 4:6a)
[Knowledge here is synonymous to Information]
Now when the
information is gotten, you need monitoring to yield results/product.
Let’s gist this
scripture below to buttress my point.
Matthew
13:44-46.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that
field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of
great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
If you follow closely
you’ll discover the scripture is presenting a 2-sided story here, these 2 men
through monitoring discovered some invaluable treasures which we earlier
described as Information. It is obvious they were looking for some great
things......... Here is what I mean.... You do not just set out to monitor, you
must be out looking for something. How great is it?
I hereby define Monitoring
define as the act of ... Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you: (Mathew 7:7).
Monitoring is the act of finding what you
seek.
In the scriptures
above, the first man and the second both observed the presence of a treasure(hidden)
and a goodly pearl through monitoring respectively!
What you need won’t just fall in
your hands like some young adults dream you need to observe, monitor and seek
them!
Armed robbers will never forget a
bag of money for you to stumble upon neither will a mad man/woman come give you
directional, it’s absurd!
God doesn’t work in these ways.
Even
our God that ‘calleth those things which be not as though
they were’
(Romans 4:17) had to work out
creation for 6 days and rest a day (Genesis
2:2)
These men through
monitoring both saw these invaluable items.... the first man had to discover it
in its hidden place while the other man discovered it through its worth. Two
things to watch out for!
Monitoring
made them know they were both invaluable assets. Definitely they must have
stumbled upon some series of treasures and pearls for them to know the value of
what they saw.
They
sold all they both had to buy what they needed to get what they discovered.
Monitoring
is sacrificing all for a deal and taking actions when needed. The actions we will
continue in our next edition.
What
are you ready to part for your Path?
Good Morning,
