University Advice…

Hey Guys and Ladies!

I thought I would play my part in being of assistance to you as you embark onto your journey into university. I’m going to keep it short and snappy, cause i know you guys won’t read essays! lol If you got more questions or want in-depth on points made, holla at my line or inbox.

Otherwise, read it through, print it out (if you must) and digest everything I’m about to say.

Key Scriptures

I am going to start of with key scriptures that you should remember whilst at university, that will encourage and help re-focus your mind, APPLY THEM TO YOUR LIFE:

1 Peter 2:16

16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Matthew 10:33

33But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.

2 TImothy 2:22

22Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. (read up to verse 26)

Here are a few headliners of advice that will help you

Facing the real you

This is the main thing that is going to happen when you reach university. The real you will come out for all to see. No longer in your comfort zone, no longer around the usual people so there isn’t a chance to programme your behaviour. Your out on your own and you will see traces of things that you think you dealt with come up again, you will see yourself no longer leading double life etc. Not saying you ALL do, but to a degree, we don’t usually express whats in us fully in the surroundings of familiarity and common/comfort areas.

The real you will have to answer those questions which you know the right answer to anyway, but you still have that “decision” to make.

This is beautiful, because its an opportunity to prune whatever good you see come out, and cut off/put to death any bad. Its beautiful because its YOU AND GOD. And you can’t lie to yourself no more, and its beautiful, because its a reminder that its TIME TO GROW.

You should yearn for divine insight and wisdom on how to deal with whatever you see come out of you and deal with it from the root to prevent cycles and to receive TRUE/TOTAL freedom.

Letting everyone know the deal from DAY ONE

No lay lay, don’t need to be rude, just need to let people know from day one what your about. And your about your father’s business.

Boys, I have a thing called “No ET”, it means no entertaining or tolerating. This is linked mainly to the whole female thing, and its a thing of not entertaining the lustful desires, and not tolerating anything that comes your way. This is how rigid you have to be, the enemy is desiring to take you out, you should desire to take out whatever he brings you. Same applies to ladies, you know when a guy is moving to you, don’t entertain, open a doorway, thinking you can handle it, its the small foxes that mess up the vine, well its the small seeds that grow to become a tree. Have an attitude of NO ENTERTAINING/TOLERANCE.

Defensive mindsets

THE MAIN BIG ISSUE. Christians have this mindset of going to university just to survive, get by and not backslide. Well if you have this mindset, you have LOST already. Excuse me, we are in a war lest you forget (Ephs 6:10-18). And a solider cannot enter war with doubts and fear, for these two things will take out his boldness, belief and courage to stand.

You ought to go with a mindset of “im the light of the world”, “im more than a conqueror”, “your light has come, and the glory of the LORD is upon you”. This is a chance to shine brighter than ever, in DARKNESS, this is now the time for you to see real power of God flow in your life, its time to make a difference, leave a landmark/legacy, break, heal and restore. It’s time to be all about your suppose to be about. GO ON AN OFFENSE. Defensive mindset and its only a matter of time before Satan corners you and there’s no way out. Please go knowing who you are and where you stand, and releasing whats inside of you.

Academic Success

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…….beg it with your tutors, lecturers etc. THEY ARE THE ONES MARKING YOUR WORK. And they will help you more than they should, if you show interest and are keen to learn. Be wise, go the extra mile. Lectures ain’t enough, they are guidelines, and yes sometimes even slideshows (depending on your course). University is all about YOU taking full responsibility for your education. This means GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY to learn more and understand fully. Some of you need to read over something 10 times to get it right, DO IT. Some of you twice, DO IT. YOU know yourself, your paying £3,290 a year and you need to make sure you get FULL worth of it. So, dont be a fool, be wise and succeed. Be best friends with the smartest one, he/she will sharpen you, and your MAIN focus is to get a degree remember.

ALL IN ALL, have fun, be merry, and be excited. Remain expectant, don’t be wild, but remain noble, and remember the minute you say your a “christian” EVERYONE is watching you, consciously and unconsciously. Be an example.

DON’T DO ANYTHING YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO DO, I WON’T STATE DO’S/DON’TS, BE REAL AND HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND LET THE WORD ALONE BE THE STANDARD.
