YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE YOUR LIFE ORDINARILY

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…………..

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review

2016 Review: Ikpefua Joy, My Year Review Hmmm...Don't even know where and how to start from. 2016 has been quite a year. 2016 to me has been one of those years I enjoyed unmerited favour and grace. God has been faithful despite my unfaithfulness. Yea, I was written off...I have been trodden upon and yes, I've been told to my face that I cannot attain the heights I'm striving so hard to attain because I don't have what it takes...and sometimes I'd believed that. Obvious challenges has stared at my face that threatened my resolutions and determinations but it is amazing that amidst it, God has always proved His Supremacy and rulership over my life. 2016 has taught me a lot. So many lessons that miraculously turned to blessings. I've met people who have impacted and invested in my life more than I could have ever done. And seriously, Allyreads has been a tangible blessing to me. Belonging to this family, is a treasure that I hold so dear...love them all.. Who ...

2016 Review: Ayomide Oguntunde, 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far..

LESSON AND BLESSING THIS YEAR SO FAR....... The year 2016 has been a year full of great blessings and greater lessons. Here, i will start with the lessons, and the first is not to trust in man But God only. Uhmmmm, there are times in our dear life that we put our hope in man not that we don't believe in what God can do But really cant say what happen not until it dawn on us that our only hope should be in God because He's the master planner of everything.      Secondly, i learnt that friendship have categories and you don't get Love in return from all friends (Smile). Its not that they hate you But have some other people on top of there friendship list, they might not be better than you do, But i got to know that no matter how you try, you cannot just force Love. Also, i got to understand the pain inner tears causes and the solution of crying the pains out to have an inner joy though not easy But one will just continue to hurt the mind. I will also like to talk ...

YOU ARE NOT AN EMPTY BEING!

You are not an empty being. You are full of substance and materials of great worth. Every individual conceived and birthed into this world comes with a mandate. But it is not enough that you say or know you carry a mandate, you must also fulfil it. The joy of living is in fulfilling your mandate. Doubting there is a purpose in your life is synonymous to you doubting your existence on earth. It is your sole responsibility and duty to fulfil your mandate so that the world will bear record that you came.  Nine months was the period it took God to have you, His purpose wrapped up in flesh. You definitely are overwhelmingly amazing! You far outweigh what mere eyesight is seeing. You are purpose blended together with gifts, talents, abilities, strength, grace, power, anointing, treasures untold etc. Mine oh mine! You certainly are too much in estimate that if you conclude in your heart to fulfil and live out all you are made of, history will once again be made through you. ...
