Do Your Best, and Leave the Rest

Do Your Best, and Leave the Rest

The words of the Chief Commander, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey comes afresh anytime I make this affirmation. In fact he popularized this in his songs. One of the lines of his song says: Commander Ebenezer…. Do your best and leave the rest.

As of late, I have been singing that song though inserting my name; Seth Kunkpe Agbeli…. Do your best and leave the rest. As I brood over the words of that chorus…. I always question the Biblical standpoint of it. I sometimes want to see whether it makes Biblical sense.

The more I brood over it, the more I see that I have no problem at all.

How many things can you do in all of your lifetime?

How many can you accomplish before the Lord calls you home?

As I think through, I agreed even more with the Evangelist. My responsibility is to DO MY BEST

There is always something one will leave as you walk through life. However, you have to do your best

There is always something that you may never attempt but you have to do your best on what you are able to do.

As we age in life , we realize that time really flies

You will not understand this when you are a child.

Like one of my daughters who gets excited in telling me how fast she is growing and that she will soon be 7,8,9,10 etc., young people have no idea the pressure aging poses to a man.

Do Your Best, and Leave the Rest

Read:The Nogokpo Saga… The Selective Hypocrisy is unfortunate.

Even in your teens, you are likely not to still understand the pressure aging brings

Most times the reality starts dawning on you in your thirties and forties. If at this phase of your life , you are still just happy that you are growing without any result to show, you are still a child indeed. What am I trying to put across with this? As you age in life, one thing is certain, you will start asking your self questions about purpose, meaning and legacy and eternity.

Don’t fret when your age increases. Don’t panic when it seems as if things are not working the ay you want it. The only thing you can do is DO YOUR BEST

After discovering your Purpose, do your best

After knowing the will of God for your life, do your best.

Sometimes it becomes very difficult because of pressures of life, but please do your best

Leaving the rest is not a sign of laziness once you have done your best.

After all is said and done, doing your best frees you from guilt, frustration and pain. Why? You have done your best.

Do your best based on God’s standard.

Do it based on the dreams and aspirations you have. Don’t surpass a brother and think that is your best.

Don’t be average and think that is your best. Don’t do little and call it much.

The fact that people are clapping for you may not mean you are doing best.

You can even be first and that may not be your best.  In all your doings, DO YOUR BEST

(Insert your name) … Do your best and leave the rest

For the love of God society and young people
