Highest Place

Every man born into this world is supposed to set at least a goal for him/her, and set out modalities to achieve it. In the course of achieving your goals, you may become famous or not. Whatever it cost you, it is all about achieving that which gives you fulfillment as a person.
An achieved goal may also lift you to the so called place of honor, respect and satisfaction. And this is where I long to be – highest place, a place of dignity, recognition, excitement and high esteem. For this reason over the years I have been pondering on step to take that will catapult me to this highest place. I thought of going into politics and become a world politicians like Abraham Lincoln. I’ve also thought of becoming neurosurgeon and saving lives, like Ben Carson. I’ve also thought of becoming an international preacher, all in quest to reach the highest place.
I know that I am not the only person searching for this recognition. It is everybody’s dream, even infants, I have a friend who determine to build a world class airport before he is 30, what about jane, who has planned to be an astronaut at 19? These are just a few of the ambitious people like me. Of course, everyone is allowed to set realistic goals, but must be ready to achieve them.
However, I got to know the high place in the life after some series of research I call it the “highest of the highest place”. It might not be the place you are thinking of. It is not the Nigerian Aso Rock, nor is the US White House or the Queen’s Throne.
The highest place to be is the feet of the almighty. In His presence there is liberty. This is the greater honor and higher calling; a place where you get protection, happiness and success; a place where you behold the glory of the Almighty and obtain mercy; a place where every yokes are destroyed and broken heart are mended; a place where you get everything you need in life and beyond.
As we go on achieving our goal in life, let us always aspire to be in the highest place, meditating on His Word, rendering quality worship and preaching the good news. This is the highest place, and I will be glad to meet you there.
