You Can Make It Happen
Advice they say is worth more than a million dollars. You have so many mentors; you have read so many books; you have attended so many seminars, conferences and summit, but the hunger and thirst never seize. Friends, family members and even your parents advice you to quit (you better get something else doing). Wow! You are confused, you don’t know what to do, but there is this feeling that woke you up in the night, the curiosity for greatness, it’s telling you, you can!
See how talented you are; my God! You are so brilliant and creative, everybody knows but you have nothing to show for it. They keep asking you: Have you got the job? Where is your office now? Is your album out? What about the book I saw you working on? What about the proposal? Am yet to see you on TV, how is your GP now? How about your admission? Etc. You cry secretly, nobody can feel your pain; you still act as if all is well, and you are at the edge of giving up.
Rise up! It is not over yet. I am not here to give you sweet words or to motivate you, I know you have heard enough; I have too, and I need an answer just as you do. Come with me and let’s go back to the design board and re-creation laboratory.
Every scientific invention was born from a curiosity to find solution to a problem or an answer to a question. The same is applicable to us as human beings; we all know we are on this planet earth for a purpose. But it doesn’t make sense to us until we come to a point in our life where we ask this question “What on earth am I here for?” until we ask our self and provide adequate answers to it we can’t make our life an invention. If you have not in anytime in your life, ask that question and you specifically deal with it by providing an answer to it. You can do it now; that is the starting point, I did mine at the age of 15. You may have turned 50 or 60 now but that is immaterial, you can still do it. Moses did not discover his purpose in creation until he was 45. You may think: how can I go about this? A potter does to a pot what he likes, because he created it. So your creator knows why he made you. Hence, go back to him. Every true successful people on earth have gone through this process. So do it, and if you have already done this before, congratulation!
Let’s ride on our way to success.
To prepare us ahead, let me share this little revelation I got from one of Bishop Oyedepo’s Teachings which has changed my life.
“Success in the kingdom is not a function of connection is a function of revelation.” Bishop Oyedepo
From experience I discover that 90% of Nigerians never accomplished their set goals because of total dependent on man (may be a politician, a business man, a brother, sister, mother, father or friend). Which have repeatedly failed us but we never seem to learn from it until we are dead (not attaining our purpose of being created). From my little experience, I discovered that 90% of the contract I have executed are from the people I never knew or had any contact with (while I was still busy running to be connected).
If you depend on man to be successful, you can only reach his humanly attainable height, but if God lifts a man, He lifts him above all. Where you are going to in life is not determined by your background or your present financial status. What you need first is neither money nor connection; you need to discover what you are born to do. Statistics shows that majority of the millionaires that are emerging nowadays came from a poor background. So if you come from a poor family like me there is still hope for you; don’t give up!
