TWENTY THINGS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU CLOCK 30 YEARS!

1 You must have a mentor.

Who is a mentor? A mentor is someone that transfers wisdom through relationship. There are
two ways to receive wisdom through mistakes or through Mentors. Mike Murdock define
mentors as Teachers of wisdom, mentors are the differences between your increase and decrease,
knowledge and foolishness, mistakes and accuracy ,failure and success, deterioration and
restoration falling and rising, Excellence and mediocrity .Mentors see what you can’t see, mentor
shortened  the  journey of your destiny, what will take you Ten years naturally can be shortened
to two years through mentorship  

Mentors link you to people. 

Note:  you don't choose your mentor but you discover him/her. If you can't handle your emotion
please don't discover an opposite sex as your mentor. Don't fall in love in the process Many will
come and exit in your life ,only the Holy Spirit will dwell with you forever ,make him your
greatest mentor. 

2. You must be born again.

Before you are thirty and married, you must be born again, you must understand and be able to
interpret spiritual codes. Note that the secrets of the lord are with them that fear Him. 

You must know Christ experientially, not as head knowledge.  This particular factor is the most
important you must consider before getting married. The one who finds a wife finds what is
enjoyable, and receives a pleasurable gift from the LORD.  Getting married to a good brother or
a sister are both favors and gifts from God . If you are yet to take this decision, you can now!!!

3. You must have a Bank Account.

 
It doesn't necessarily mean that you must have millions in your account, this particular factor
will determine how visionary you are, It also determine the level of your seriousness about your
life.   Don't propose or says yes to a proposal if you don't have a bank account, how much will it
going cost you to open an account? You can make a move now, it’s not too late 

4.  You must know How to Propose. 

Some beloved brothers have turned themselves to an angel over some sisters. Learn how to
propose before you are thirty years of age. If you don't know how to do that you can see Love
Doctor for assistance. 

Please the time to propose is not the time to pray and read bible, say something. I wonder seeing
a beloved brother of thirty years still wondering on how to propose.   

Be plain and brief and stop lying that you see a vision, you saw her in your dream, you heard the
voice of God telling you to take your beloved wife and marry her. 
 
Don't misunderstand me, this situation can occur.

5. You must discover your purpose.

Before you are thirty, you must know why behind your existence. A man/lady of thirty still
wondering who he/she is.A person who has not discovered his/ her purpose has not reason to live
( Ben Ochuko). 

You must be able to define yourself in one sentence. If you are still yet to do that, then I
recommend these books for you:

 What is my purpose by Ben Ochuko.

 Understanding Your potential by Myle Munroe.
 Purpose driven life by Rick warren.

6 You must have skills/ Academics qualifications.

you have not.

Before you are thirty and married  you must obtain your first degree.Don't mind what people
around you are saying , you are the CEO of your life , Enroll for your degree.

7. You must discover your gift.

It is important to know that whatever you don't discover, you can’t celebrate it and whatever you
don't celebrate you can't be rewarded for it. Anything undiscovered becomes unrewarded and it
will automatically exit out of your life (Mike Murdock). Start searching until you find it.

for the first time? No but it's possible to like him/her.

What does it mean to love? someone?

When someone look straight into your eyes and says I love you, what does he/she mean? Sex,
kissing, romancing, I want to marry you? 
 I love you mean I accept all your assets and liabilities, your strength and weakness, your manner
of approach, your way of dressing, your qualification.

 10. You must have a library.

Before you reach thirty years, you must have a library.

He who doesn't read is not better than he who can't read. Read on Godly parenting, purpose,
relationships and courtship and financial stewardship. Don't say you want to learn by experience.

 Experience is not a best teacher, start learning from those that are ahead of you through reading
the works of different Authors.

consultants, Financial analysts, Business magazines, Business Experts and conferences etc

when you are single and stop saying you will do that when you get married.

asking.
