“But
you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an
evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry” 2
Timothy 4:5.
Trying to be like someone else makes one
discountenance his or her uniqueness. Besides, it will make you run another
man’s race. Not only that, it will make you lose your identity and consequently
prevent you from adding your own flavour to your generation. It was neither a
mistake nor accident that we are differently talented. The
fact that you do not look exactly like me does not mean you are inferior to me or
vice versa. You are loaded inside. God has blessed you with massive gifts and
potentials to make a difference in life. It
will be a tragedy to abandon all these and begin to run after what is given to someone
else.
No amount of effort can make you be exactly like another person.
The best you can be when you embark on such a mission is the duplicate. And the moment the original is still
available, no one reckons with the duplicate. The earlier you realize and come
to terms with this fact the better for you. There is no reason or basis for
comparison. This is the reason people go through life with struggles as if life
is all about struggle. Someone
might ask; if I am this unique, how then can I release my uniqueness for
actualization?
Consciousness of who you are: The place to start is the discovery of who you are. You are a major
event and an important person created in the image of God to operate like Him.
Be interested in your person. Do not accept Satan’s lie that you are nothing.
Discover what is in you: Ask yourself; what are my potentials or endowments. Every human
being is uniquely gifted and amazingly different.
Finally, develop
and deploy your uniqueness. Go, for
relevant training and develop yourself the more. When you do this, the entire
world is bound to notice your uniqueness.
Divine lifting shall be your experience. You shall no longer be
lost in the crowd. God will grant you a platform of expression.
