Ordinary people don’t go far in life. They are always content with their
little or no achievement thereby leaving their God given talent to
waste. This attitude can be wicked than that of a person who commits a
major crime like murder. This is so because a lot of people are out
there, waiting for you to impact and influence their life through your
talents, gifts, passion and hard work and here you are living like you
don’t even exist at all. Yes! When you choose to live ordinarily, it
simply means that you don’t exist. Our talents and gifts aren’t given to
us only for our benefits but for the benefits of others. So choosing to
live ordinarily is like telling God ‘I don’t care about these gifts. I
have no use for them, so it was just a waste giving them to me’. Hmm!
how will you feel if you gave someone a very important and valuable gift
and at the end of the day, the person said to you ‘the gift you gave me
was just a waste. I don’t value it. I therefore don’t have any use for
it’. You should answer the question yourself then maybe you will know
exactly how God feels when we ignore the talents given to us and choose
to live as an ordinary person.
Most people live ordinarily because they don’t want to take risks. They are scared of failing and they don’t want any trouble for themselves. They therefore retire to a normal/average life. The truth is ‘if we don’t risk anything then we risk even more’. Ordinary people are mediocre and never rise above average. You cannot be ordinary and be successful. Successful people are always going about making a difference. They are people who choose to live above average and do ordinary things in an extra-ordinary way. They are not in any way scared of failures and obstacles because these are stepping stones for them. They set and embark on projects higher than them and they stretch themselves really hard to achieve such projects. “One of the greatest compliments that anyone can give you is to say, You are different” John Mason. God is not going to be happy with someone who does not make use of the gifts and talents He gave him/her to influence and help others. So my dear, living your life ordinarily is not an option you can settle with. Life is not worth living except it is lived for others. We do not owe the life we are living. It belongs to God. So it cannot be lived as we please. Doing so means we don’t exist and God will not be happy with us.
On a final note, I’ll repeat this again. ‘You cannot afford to live your life ordinarily’. You were never created ordinarily. Your conception in the womb to birth was intentionally planned by God. He brought you here on earth for a purpose and He expects you to fulfill that purpose to its full extent because He has provided you with all the resources you need. So go out there, start influencing your world. Dare to be different…………..
