You only need to reject
those ideas and discover God’s purpose for your life, and discover what God
says about you.
God says, “if only you
can walk uprightly he cannot withhold any good thing from you.
Gideon, I don’t think I
could ever be a leader in this life. I don’t think my poor conditions could
ever be changed. “Hmm, Gideon you wouldn’t understand; a young guy like me have traveled and struggled for years now but all to no avail, do you think that I
could ever make the most of my life? In fact I believe it is over”
My own case is different;
I came from a poor and poverty stricken family. My grandfather, my father has
been living in this sorrowful life. Are you now saying that I could ever be of
any value in this life?
Well listened; but it
is not as you think, it s not yet over. You can still do ALL things. Christ is
in you, you have a bloodline of value-ability. You have a bloodline of success,
and you are a seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You are linked to Jesus Christ,
and for that reason you are indefatigable.
Gideon, you don’t
understand. I mean this has been our generational tag, we are known of these
stories. We are known by underage death, we don’t last. My brother has died
untimely and I know I am the next. “You are not the next”.
I have studied and have
taken exams for several times and failed. Do you think I should continue trying
while I have written exams for several time and failed? “Please try it again”.
Dear reader, you have a potential in you, you
are bigger than your problems. You are insurmountable. See, that you have been
disappointed or being failed ten times doesn’t mean that your strength and
right to make it has been determined or taken away by those circumstances. No!
your you is inside of you permanently, just pick up courage and refuse the fake
voice of your enemy who tells you that you wouldn’t rise from your fall.
Remember, your enemy
(the Devil) is always busy looking for whom to devour according to the
scripture. He roars like a lion, telling you what is not true about you. He
tries his best, fast for you because he knew you have a better future and he
can never rest until he has cached or gotten you. He is sleepless, restless
until he sees your fall. Get up from the pit where you are now, climb up
outside and dust off yourself then begin again. NOT AS YOU THINK. You can never
remain a failure. The fact that you are sleeping on a mat now doesn’t mean you
can’t sleep on the best foam or cushions tomorrow.
Similarly, considering
the fact that the earth was without form and void, God spoke to it and the
earth was formed. See (Gen. 1:2). The past conditions of the earth before
creature was not considered yet, it was designed as it is today.
No matter how bad your
past has been, there is always a better future. Your past doesn’t matter but
your present future. Whatever that has existed in your life in the past that
looks like failure, setbacks, confusions, depression or oppression will always
come to an end when you reminds yourself of your hope in God.
For
a just man falleth seven times and rise up again… (Proverb
24:16).
God doesn’t abandon the
righteous when he falls. You may be in the ground now, but God is telling you
to rise now, he has not finished his contract with you. Just gather strength,
rise up, lay hand on anything good, and God will not fail to pick you up again.
Your case can only be over when once God
himself become over.
Are you ashamed that
you have failed? No one can ever notice that you have failed unless you remain
where you have fallen.
You are able.
You are profitable.
You are talented.
You are lovable.
Beyond every failure
there is always success. There is always an equal success to every failure. You
shouldn’t remain in any curse; family curse. No wonder the scripture says “for Christ
has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Galatians
3:13). The curse is behind every kind of defeat- sin, mistakes, wrong choices,
fear, worry, constant sickness, unhealthy relationships or bad attitudes.
Please understand that all these are the things from which we have been already
set free from. Don’t remain in them any longer instead, pick up courage and
rise up in your authority because you have been set free. Who so ever that the son of man (Jesus) set free is free indeed.
Take a little backbone and determination and say “I am not going to live my
life in mediocrity, bound by addictions, negative and defeated. No, I am going
to start up again and be pressing forward. I am going to take hold of every
thing that God has in store for me” it is not yet over!
Interestingly, God has
never created you to be in that way, you have a talent and a target, you have a
mission on earth, and God had created you to be the head and not the tail.
(Deuteronomy 28:13).
Elongate your thought
line and don’t be myopic. Don’t bandage yourself and live in bondage. Open
yourself up, naked yourself, wash your body and put on a new garment of a new
beginning.
More over, remember you
are called an over comer because there is always a battle to fight so as to
overcome. If you don’t encounter challenges, what then can you overcome? It is
not as you think.
Without passing through
some test of life, you will not have any testimony. In case if you had unfair
things happen to you, people have robbed you or cheat you where you tried to
help them, God said he will bring you out with twice of what you have lost. You
might be struggling through tough times, but I have good news for you “IT IS
NOT YET OVER.”
The down fall of a man
is not the end of his life; cool down, relax your mind and think of what to do next.
Although it is too late yet on time, morning has passed yet another morning is
still coming; God has a package for you tomorrow morning. There is nothing in
your life that God didn’t give you the power to overcome because God has
inserted inside of you all the accessories to use. And God is the only one who
gives grace to overcome. It is not of
him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God who showeth mercy. (Romans9:16).
Understand this; no
condition is the worst in this life and no condition is the best to live in. God
can never allow any one who walks uprightly to be in a worst set of life
instead the best.
Secondly, no man has
ever been in the best and suitable or in a balanced equation of life. If you
think that you are the richest, the best, and the greatest man; then go outside
there and there you see a man and a woman that is greater than you are. Hallucination
can’t help you much than actions.
See, if you think that
any man has ever attained up to his expectation in this life; then somebody
could have become another God whom the earth will serve. Only God has ever
attained and still in the highest level.
Therefore,
a journey
of a thousand miles starts with a step. You have to start up with an attempt of
making faithful steps. Keep on moving, keep on walking and working. It doesn’t
matter how many times you have fallen but if you have gotten yourself up. If
you can walk or crawl, keep on doing so just to make sure you are moving.
More over, an arrow can
be sent only by dragging it back, so when life is dragging you back with
difficulties, it means that it is going to launch you into victory. Life is not
as hard as you think. It is very easy if you can live with its principles.
Never think low self
esteem but aim high because your tomorrow is secured, someone is working on
your behalf and he (God) is just waiting on you to make a move. Your destiny is
inside of you. It has permanently deposited in you by the owner of the
universe. No wonder the scripture says that the gift of God is irrevocable.
That means God is never going to take back the potentials he has poured inside
of you. He can never say “I am tired of dealing with you; you have made too
many mistakes, you have tried and failed many times so, let me have the gift
back”
No, these gifts, and
the calling in your life will be inside of you till death which will become a
judgment against you if do not make proper use of it. It’s now in your catch if
you will decide to make use of it or let it die inside of you.
Hopefully throw your
shoulders back, put a smile on your face and be looking for opportunities to
stretch into another level.
For instance, have you
ever thought of those multi-millionaires in our world today why they have never
gotten satisfied in their pursuit yet, fighting all day to get more. That is
how you ought to be. They also was once in that level of what can I do but they
kept on trying until they got to the next and next level. Try the other one,
may be you have failed too many ways but there are too many other ways which
you have not made an attempt to.
The
ultimate measure of a man is not when he found himself in a moment of comfort
and conveniences, but when he stands at a time of challenges and controversy. (Martin
Luther
king).
An architect designed
many beautiful buildings, homes, and many other magnificent structures. But
towards the end of his career, he was asked; Out of your many beautiful
designs, which one is your favorite? And the man answered “MY NEXT ONE”
therefore, get up and try the next one to know if that one will be your own
favorite. It is not ye over until your life is over.
Assuredly I tell you,
nothing is wrong with you, you are all right, get up you do not smell bad. Just
wear a coat of an undefeated, and then your life will never remain the same.
Do not dwell on people
say. People’s opinions determines not your potentials, though they will laugh
at you well; possibly they can, but the fact is that your potentials is still
inside of you. Don’t look back it is not yet over, the conclusion of men is not
the condition you will remain. Heaven said you are powerful, valuable and
visible to your world. Try to be the last man standing. You are in God’s agenda.
Let your eyes be opened, you are not a nonentity; you are not a riffraff. When
men reminds me of things which I couldn’t do, I always reminds them always of
other things which I can do.
Bad things happen to
anybody irrespective of what we do or who we are. You are not the only person
that failure has ever paid a visit. It can happen to any man or woman. Just
take a step to step forward you will make it, you will progress if you can make
the next attempt. Don’t count all it will take or cost you to reach your
destination on the beginning, start and keep moving instead. You will look
around and say within your self I later made it. A journey of thousand miles
begins with a single step.
We are all unique.
We are all special
We are all valuable.
We are all good enough.
We are all lovable.
We are all favorable.
We are all profitable
Can you count yourself
among this group of people and pick courage. It’s too late yet on time. What are you doing there, who told you that all
is over? It’s a lie. Get up and start doing something so that God will settle
you. Take your future in your hands; see it resting on your palms. It is not
too late to take a stand in order to see your expected result.
Drop your old sense and
pick up a new sense, then you will become more of who you want to be. It is not
too hard to make it in life, rise with faith and hoping God to keep you
hopeful. More so, God who created you can help you if you can do your own part
as human by obeying his status. He can do all things, he can never refuse to
bless. He has the capacity to perform now, any time, anywhere. He is always
ready to make you feel better. Don’t think that you have failed and have been
forgotten. God can do exceedingly more than your expectations. You are called
to be in charge always. You are more valuable than what you think you are.
Indeed more than conqueror you are.
Don’t forget; you are
called to dominate the earth and its fullness. You are well loaded, equipped
and prepared for a special mission. You are not only trying to fail yourself
but including your generation if you don’t rise.
Dear reader, rise, pick
courage, you will do it; you will be strong again, all hope is not gone, it is
not as you think.
Therefore, it is not
yet over until your life is over. You have a better future.
DON'T THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO DO WHAT YOU CAN DO. NOBODY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME YOU UNTIL YOU GIVE THEM CHANCE.
YOU ARE CREATED SPECIAL.
