STREAMS OF GREATNESS

THAT WHICH PUSHES YOU SHOULD COME FROM WITHIN The greatest encouragement that can spur a man on is the internal motivation, not external, for the external is not constant , availability is conditional and may not come when you need it most. So, after your spiritual eyes might have captured the unseen, what the world doesn’t know about you, you don’t need to wait for external encouragement because it may not come, for unsecured humans are always threatened by the manifestation of a man’s originality. The disciples went out to preach the gospel and they were captured in the process and detained, beaten, tortured and threatened. On their release, the first important thing that occurred to them was to praise God for the opportunity to suffer shame for the Name. Glaringly, we see that the motivation of these men were nothing external. Nothing around them encouraged them in the pursuit of their vision. But their spiritual eyes had captured something they were ready t

IF WE ONLY BELIEVE WHAT WE SEE, WE ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI Seeing is believing, a statement that we spill out consciously or unconsciously and because we speak it often, it has become our reality. The root of this statement of uncertainty is doubt. It means we are not sure/certain until we see/behold. Meanwhile, it does not have root in the word of God. Jesus told Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” John 20:29 If you want to see with your physical eyes before you believe, then your future is void of anything new the world is yet to see. For even the bible says that, “what no physical eye has seen, what no physical ear has heard and what no human/carnal mind has conceived- the things God has prepared for those who love him” 2Cor 2:9 But then, these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit, 2Cor 2:10. What your spiritual eyes cannot capture ,you can never

YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI A man going straight towards his goal overcomes difficulties and obstacles in his path, and turns them into benefits; he turns challenges into opportunities and improves himself through overcoming obstacles - Sunday Adelaja. Some people are chronic pessimist, share your vision with them, they will point out one thousand and one reasons why you may not succeed on that part. They will quickly identify challenges that will serve as obstacle to achieving your goals. Well, its better not to disregard, disrespect or condemn them. They have actually helped you, am sure they don’t know how helpful they are. I advice you note down their points and thank them heartily. In fact, scenarios like this help to test your convictions. If situations like this don’t ensue, you may not know how ready you are. They have helped you to identify obstacles you may never have thought of. An obstacle you cannot foresee may not be easily pulled ou

ONLY FOOLS COMPARE THEMSELVES TO OTHERS Have you ever taken time to meditate on how beautiful, unique, endowed, loaded, different and special you are? Can you just divert the energy you expend comparing yourself to others to this kind of meditation? Can you please value your uniqueness? But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a King over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a King to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” 1 Samuel 8: 19-20. Until we discover our uniqueness, we will continue to strive to be like someone else. Until the gold in your hand is revealed to you, you will continue to envy the silver and bronze in another man's hand. Until we discover our originality, fake people will not cease to appeal to us and buy our mind over. How strange that a nation serving the Almighty God envied other nations bowing to inferior gods, who have inactive eyes, ears and legs, crippled gods.

YOU ARE THE ANSWER THE WORLD NEEDS Greatness is a package  that resides in every human. God designed every human to live a victorious life and did us good by placing in us potentials. Nobody was born empty, we are all loaded. No one has any excuse for not living a fulfilled life. I may not know where you are coming from, I may not also know what your past looks like. Probably, your father is a poor Carpenter, your mother a poor trader, maybe you once lived under the bridge or you never had the opportunity of a university education. Who knows? You may be the son of a President, the heir to the throne of a particular village or town.  Can I quickly tell you this, you can be rich and yet miserable, you can be surrounded with people and yet alone. You can have fleet of cars and servants to serve you and yet unfulfilled.  You can be in a place of authority and have every one bowing to you and yet lack joy. You may even be a pastor and yet miserable. Until we d
