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…………..

INSPIRING STORY: LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him, even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “That just shows how stupid most people are!”  As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” Of course, those weathered oak boards in th...

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 ...
