Misconceptions of academic excellence

Everyman that became great made a conscious effort to be one.

Today I will be sharing on academic development in regards to its misconception with spirituality.
Education is one of the major keys that guarantees a rich and fulfilling life.

The devil has however made some people to believe that failure in their academics is a sacrifice made for their ministry or spirituality as the case may be. Some other people feel they can't put in spirituality into their academics because it will be a distraction so when they graduate from school they'll become spiritual.

First of all, let's get things straight. What do you understand by spirituality? Is it in the reading of your bible or in speaking in tongues or in attending all service units meetings or in being a leader of a spiritual group? Your understanding of what spirituality is will determine if you will be able to balance it or not.

Many times our definition of spirituality actually leads to so many errors we make. For me, spirituality is about putting God at the center of my life, more like the control tower of my life. He determines what I do in every area of my life. Spirituality should never be privatized as it is the custom of many. Once privatized and secluded, it becomes an empty religion. The essence of your spirituality is to be like God, please Him and bring glory to Him.
