Procrastination

Procrastination is to put off a required action until a future time. It means to defer or to postpone an event/action. It’s a character flaw that affects millions of people in every walk of life. It cuts across all areas of life, from accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour to attending to assignments by students and many other areas.
Procrastination is a sluggish and spiritless attitude to the things of God. “2 Ch 24:4 – 5  And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD. And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.” Why do individuals then procrastinate ??
Because of personal convenience, Acts 24:25
Laziness, proverbs 26:13-16         
Environmental distraction or societal distractions, beliefs or norms, Ecc 1:14
Family pressure or discouragement luke 9:59-62
Worldly entanglement, allowing worldly stance to override the things of the kingdom. Gen 19:21-22

Some few ways out of procrastination, but not limited to:
Using reminder mechanism as (notepad, memo pad alarm)
Set priorities appropriately
Proper planning of daily schedules and time, events and activities
Let’s focus on today and not tomorrow
Avoid events/activities which consume time unnecessarily e.g mobile phone, television and movies, internet etc
Remember we have limited time on earth & lets be committed to the things of God. Eccl 3:1; Isa. 56:12
Whatever we set out our mind to do for the kingdom, let’s do it now or the right time. Delay is dangerous

Bulgur Wheat

Bulgar wheat is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally used to make tabbouleh and pilafs. This ingredient is very popular in side dishes and is able to cook very quickly, which makes it a convenient and versatile food. Bulgur wheat can be made in many forms, including pasta, bread, and warm or cold grain salads. The key components of bulgur wheat include high levels of iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, niacin, copper, phosphorous, manganese, fiber and dietary protein. While there are many varieties of cereal in the world, many of them come from refined wheat, which is then used to produce refined carbohydrate foods. Low in fat, high in fiber and rich in minerals, bulgur wheat is a healthy dietary choice. These are good for your health, but they don’t compare to the raw, nutrient-packed nature of bulgur wheat. This varietal offers a higher concentration of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber than refined wheat, making it even more beneficial for human health.
