RAISING ADULT RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW

TO RAISE AN ADULT


If you want to raise an adult, nurture the youth in you.
What you build into your youth is what you will find in your adulthood. Nurture a child and reap a rich adult.
A lazy child will in all probability ends as a lazy adult.
Formation occurs in childhood and manifestation in adulthood.
Anything an adult manifests has its root in childhood.
Bend the youth to work in other to raise the adult to fly.
If you want a distinguished adult, discipline the youth.
Stretch the youth if you want to have an enduring adult.

GO THE EXTRA MILE


How far you go determines how far your can reach.
To go an extra mile, you have to dig extra depth.
To dig deeper is the true way to go further in life.
There is no sudden or accidental success. Far reaching success comes from far reaching cost. There is nothing valuable without a cost.
You are mandatorily required to pay the price before you can take delivery.

ONE THING I CAN�T SURVIVE


I can�t survive in the midst of strife, competition and comparison. I am at my best been me and who I am.
I cannot fit into another mold. If you want to paralyze or kill me, attempt to force me into a mold. That I will not wait to see to happen to me.
I will uncompromisingly maintain my focus and stay on my God ordained track till I meet my master and caller from whom I am eagerly waiting to hear, �Well done, thou Good and faithful servant, enter into your rest.�
If you think the same way with me then pray:
�Lord, help me to remain on course and to maintain focus throughout my journey in the fulfillment of my assignment.
�I will not seek any human applause or commendation from any source. All I strive to receive is heaven�s approval.�
THE BENEFIT OF LISTENING TO ELDERS


The youth dwell on the present but elders think the future.
While the youth argues on facts; elders talk on realities of issues.
The youth may make decision on optimism that overwhelms realities but the elder will carefully look through by mixing realities with optimism.
So, discussing with an elder helps to paint a picture of the future you are yet to see as a youth by bringing the past into the present.
In other words, he adds his experience to your current knowledge to help you have a balanced perspective.
It�s important for every youth to take his optimism through an elder�s eye in order to enjoy an itch free, stress-free and regret-free adventure in life.
With the youth is vision and purposes but with the elder is counsel.
And remember purposes are defeated without counsel but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. Prov.11:14; 15:22.
THE LAW OF PATIENCE


: Patience is about process. Mk. 4:26-29.
Process is following a due order and other eliminates chaos.
Where order sets in; chaos steps out.
Where order exists; chaos exits.
When order is in place; chaos is displaced.
Process makes room for stability and ultimately, perfection.
: The scripture reveals the process to greatness in life:
-First, cast seed � give, make investments.
-Then go to sleep � relax yourself. God goes to work only when you go to �sleep�.
-Night and day must be allowed, that is give it time, employ patience. (Heb. 6:12).
-He knoweth not how things are happening� God will supernaturally intervene on your behalf.
: Process of manifestation is as follows:
-First the blade, the ear, the full corn and then the harvest.
: To speed up your manifestation:
-Be consistently involved in � filling your cloud. It is not enough to sow your seed but sow it consistently and rapidly. (Eccl. 3:1-3).

BE TOUGH


Being tough is not the same as being rough.
You can be tough and not be rough.
If you are not tough you will be torn into pieces.
Being tough is all about being thorough, firm, truthful, forthright, uncompromising, unblending, confrontation when necessary.
You can be gentle in approach and still be tough in attitude.
Be principled, focused and undaunted in standing for what is right.
If you are not tough you can not excel.
Mediocrity is usually the lot of those who blend and compromise.
