THE MAKING OF A SUCCESS STORY




Not everyone will see potentials in you, so don’t be offended when people underestimate your ability. Just dust your feet and move on. It takes only the destiny helpers to see and identify your potentials. 

If you want to have a success story, you first have to identify your strength because your talent lies in your strength. We all have our unique abilities, so identify your own uniqueness,  unleash it and keep doing what you know how to do best regardless of the circumstances. 

The reality of life: You will get to a point when some people will tell you “you are just wasting your time”, as a matter of fact, some will even advise you to quit what you are doing. 

At this point, you also start to lose faith in your potentials, lose self-confidence and even lose your mind. Relax! It’s normal. when things are not going the way we expected, we tend to doubt our potentials because all we could only see is a dark thick cloud. 

Here’s the good news: Without the night, you won’t come to appreciate the beauty of the day. The night is part of the making of your success story. 

So what should you do? Be stubborn! Just hang on. soon you will look back and be grateful for those nights because the nights was your training ground.

YES IT IS GOOD, BUT NOT GOOD FOR YOU





Why did Jesus when he was on earth, charged people he healed not to tell any man, but when he died and rose again, we were charged to always testify of God’s healing/miracles we receive?

When Jesus was on earth, he always charges people he healed to see to it that nobody knows about their healing/deliverance because he wants to avoid distractions from his vision/purpose. His purpose was to come and die for our sins. He knows that the more people kept on praising him, the more it will come to the mind of people to make him a king.

Though, to be a king is good, but not good for him. If he should become the king, it will hinder his purpose from finding fulfilment. Nobody will put the king to death; nobody will give a verdict of hanging the king on the cross, except if the king wants to put himself to death by hanging which will be regarded as suicidal.

I believe you can see the reason why Jesus cannot be a King here on earth. He won’t be able to die for me and you. His purpose will be terminated. This is why Jesus charged the people not to tell of his works to others so that his purpose can be fulfilled, but because his works were so mighty that cannot be hidden; these went out to tell many other people of what Jesus has done in their lives. And the more/higher the human praise to Jesus, when he was on earth (regarded as a man), the more they seek/pleases to make him their king.

Do you know what Jesus did when he realized that being a king is good, but not good for him? Jesus ran away so that nobody will terminate his purpose here on earth. (ref: John 6:15). His purpose was to die for our sins. He puts away every distraction to his purpose and made sure he fulfilled his purpose. Today, Jesus is crowned an EVERLASTING KING.

LESSON: Know your purpose! Some things might look good to behold, but it might not be your purpose (Not good for you). Ask God to tell/show you your purpose. Perhaps you are currently doing something that you know it is not your purpose, Just run away like Jesus did. Nothing good in this world can be compared to the success that comes from fulfilling your purpose.
