THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION

The necessity of information cannot be over emphasized. Information leads to transformation-as the lack of it leads to deformation. Good information is spread abroad as the air we breathe! Hence, success should be an everyday thing.

Reasons for the under-utilization of information in comparison to it’s abundance

If knowledge is this abundant, how is it that the level of illiteracy, mass failure and nonachievement seems to be on the increase?  This can only be explained by the following reasons which are as follows:                                                

1. Irresponsibility.

2. Ignorance and unwillingness to learn.

3. Lack of a functional mind that is creative.

4. A limited view of life and success.

5. Abiding by social norms and values that are not progressive and futuristic.

6. Lack of a reading culture and a good listening ability.

Having stated this, how then can this menace be best tackled if at all eradicated. We can only give the following points as pointers to the effective utilization of information and its benefits.

How best to utilize information and the benefits attendant in the utilization of information?

It is well known that one’s ignorance of the purpose of a thing( structure, word, place or material) leads to its abuse, and in most cases the destruction and under-utilization of that particular entity.

Steps to the utilization of Information;

1. A desire to know: Before information can be utilized, it must be known to the informant first! Only then can it be utilized.

2. Be taught: If one must understand, and utilize information he\she must be willing to learn-because, without a teacher one only stands a chance of abusing information or be misguided.

3. Cultivate a reading habit: A saying goes like this “READERS ARE LEADERS”. This saying goes unchallenged as the world’s sway is well dictated and controlled by those who have read, and are still reading, and still lives to read.

4. Have your own definition of success: Now, having in one’s possession information which is the tool for success, one must clearly define success in his or her terms, this will eliminate the risk of unaccomplishment and frustration in life. This is because the modern day society gives success out to be materialistic, ambitious, influential and possessive. Many have died, and many more are victims of depression, frustration and all kinds of emotional and psychological traumas as a result of pursuing the societal definition of success.

5. Develop a creative mindset: Haven gotten information and a definition for success, one must possess a creative mind in the place of planning and strategizing. This is necessary if success must be achieved. Because one must be able to process data into information, information into skills, skills into action, action into innovations, innovations into a solution, a solution into world changing contribution, a  world changing contribution makes success.

6. Combing information, skill, and a creative mind into success: Having obtained the necessary tool to become a success, one must without fail combine it all with the help of honesty, determination, focus and a sacrificial life style to reach the peak of any career or success as it regards to any individual.

Benefits of Utilized Information:

1.      Literacy.

2.      A creative mind.

3.      The ability to become a leader.

4.      A positive contributor to one’s society.

5.      A success in whatever field of endeavor etc.

                                                                                                    

ONOJA, Jeremiah O.                                                                  

Taking a nose dive into slumber

Plunging uninhibited into a deep snooze

I am gradually becoming oblivious of present presence.

My senses are becoming dulled by my desire for release.

Alas! My senses needs to b sharpened for task ahead.

I abnegate my hold on this desire, desire for relaxation.

I refuse to yield to sleep.

I refuse to give my eyes sleep - there's work to be done.

I embrace urgency.... Demands on my mind requires no sleep.

Life's going down into the abyss of underworld.

Destinies needs prompt attention

Assignments are now importunate for repose.

For to me... There's no rest until - until I rest.

I'll keep running... Though it appears not to be easy.

I'll keep chasing after this task until it completely complete.

I'd draw strength from my source.. 

Today, we see believers putting blames on the devil for all sin committed, we tend to ignore the root of all evil committed which is known as SELF. Our Lord Jesus had already defeated satan but had left the overcoming of SELF to us. (Col 3:5,8).  Our first enemy is SELF, the problem is not satan, the problem is what’s inside us. Satan only provokes what we carry – SELF. SELF can motivate someone to pray but for the wrong reasons. There are other synonyms for SELF used in the scripture, they are: flesh, old man, old nature, sinful nature, carnal mind etc, as we study they would be used interchangeably with SELF.

Our flesh is weak (Matt. 26:41), since it is weak, it causes us to let our guard down, causes us to open up doors that are meant to be shut, we end up making choices that are not useful to us or to the advancement of Christ influence wherever we are. As believers, “we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live”. In other to live, we must master SELF, we must overcome it, giving up what we want for what the Lord wants. This means letting go of unhealthy desires. God said and is still saying “we must master and rule over it” (Gen. 4:6-7).

Questions to pounder on.

What is your understanding of SELF? Gal.5:19-21, 1Pet. 1:14-14;

Why must we overcome SELF? Gal. 6:8; Rom.7:18-19, Rom. 8:7;

How can we overcome SELF? Gal. 5:16; Rom.12:1-2; Jam. 4:7-10, Josh.1:8.

What are God’s provision for overcoming flesh?
