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.
