YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES


After going through the Scriptures and having done a little bit of reading, I have found out that we always have what it takes to make the difference we so much desire. We have what it takes to succeed.
Recently, I found out about the principle of foundation - everything created was created from something, however minute or seemingly insignificant. Every miracle performed was based on something already available.
The miracle performed at the wedding in Cana was performed with water;
The widow that had two sons with a huge debt left by her husband had a bottle of oil;
The widow at Zarephath had a little oil and a little flour;
The disciples had five loaves and two fishes;
Even the  man by the pool of Bethesda had his crippled limbs!
I could go on and on and you'll see that there was always something already available for something bigger to happen.
This goes a long way to show that no matter how broken, damaged or seemingly irrelevant what you have seems to be, it has the potential to catapult you to heights you've been thinking of and perhaps those greater that you've ever imagined.

The emergence of a man is a seed borne in him that is meant to be grown into a tree that bears fruit & subsequently produce several other seed. Your success lies in you. It is in you, it lies in no other. It's appearance today may be tiny, tender,  insignificant, unimpressive, sometimes even odd yet that may be all that you need to revolutionize your world, it may be a legacy that generations yet unborn are meant to celebrate.

That's why the wisest king who ever lived said "despise not the days of small beginnings". It can't be overtly correct to say that you don't have what it takes because there is always something that is left as long as the breath of life is still there.

To discover what it takes, Fela Durotoye said and I quote "you must look inward to find what child you are carrying & travailing with in your womb of destiny; it may be the pain, the oddity, the anomaly that your mind can't accept & live with".
Note: That it is your brainchild that would throw you into limelight.

It was the mobile toilet that turned a Lagos based business man, Otunba Gadaffi nicknamed "owo igbe kiirun" that is, "shit money, no dey smell" to a multimillionaire. It was Pastor Nick's 'Life without Limbs' that turned him into an international motivational speaker, maybe the world would not have heard of him if he had his limbs .

What is it that you have; five sense organs or less; tongue, eyes, ears, nose & skin, yet many with the same five you possess and a few with less, have turned history around, created a niche for themselves in the golden page of history with their resilence & persistence to create the change that had altered the storyline of history forever.

All you have to do is put what you have in the right place, at the right time and to the right person.

What are your own excuses today? Find them & break your limit! It is time for another child of destiny to be born.
