YOU CAN’T BE LIKE SOMEONE ELSE

“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.

Prophetic Prayers

I am loaded with treasures. The beauty and power in me shall come out for all to see in Jesus’ name.

Help me oh Lord to fulfill the purpose for which I am created.

My destiny shall not be lost in the crowd in Jesus’ name.

I refuse to be intimidated by the gift and performance of others in Jesus’ name.

WRITE YOUR OWN HISTORY

“By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son” Hebrews 11:17.

Every human being has limitations, but you can remove your limitations, perpetuate your remembrance and keep living in the minds of men. First, through your record breaking exploits and second, by reproducing yourself in others. Nothing is worse than coming to this world and leaving no trace behind. Life is all about impact, which means making the desired mark or leaving it better than you met it.

There are many walking corpses – those who, though alive, have no impact on humanity. And there are many though dead, but still speaking through the work they did while alive. The lives they lived and the changes they effected during their life time are loud voices speaking on their behalf. Who can forget William Shakespeare, a renowned and veteran author? Who can pretend not to have read or heard about Christopher Columbus, the man who through his voyage and expedition discovered America?

Rahab’s name became prominent in Jewish history, and was referred to in the scriptures till today by her simple act of offering protection to the spies sent by Moses. “By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies was not killed with those who were disobedient” (Hebrews 11:31).

You may not be an author or inventor but you can do things worth writing about. When you make a major discovery, make an invention or establish institutions that bless generation, then you have become a pillar of reference. These you can do irrespective of your sex, age, tribe or education. You can become a hero from zero level. Whenever possible, document your exploits. Record keeping is very crucial. Whatever you know or has must be passed on to others. This is how to work beyond your times.

God will put you in the middle of a major breakthrough. Your generation will read your history. Wake up now, think and do something. Welcome to another new day.

Prophetic Prayers

I shall not die without making impact in Jesus’ name.

I receive grace now to become a hero in this generation of mine in Jesus’ name.

Today, I shall become a pacesetter and a reference point.

I invoke the power of the Blood of Jesus for protection wherever I go today in Jesus’ name.
