The Strength To Succeed In All Things

A man who’s rich at the moment but lacks focus will become very poor in the future, it isn’t what we have now that sustains our tomorrow, it’s the focus.

In the future search for a billionaire who has no focus, you will discover he has become poor.
But search for the man who had nothing but focus and vision, you’ll find him flourishing.

Keep a vision on something you’re passionate about, be focused on your passion even if at the moment it’s not yielding any success, make no noise like popinjays in the open market, be steadily still, in the future you shall flourish, there’s always a moment, and a season to break even, it’s not always the same time for everyone because we are different.

Distractions will come, the way others do it would try to pull you out of the line of your dream, but stick on the inner assurance believing strongly this is who you are, and you will break even, the time will come, such a time you can’t tell, just stay focused on your passion; it could be anything, from immaterial to material dreams.

Everyone is on a race, we run differently, our goals and targets are distinctively predestined, you can’t be me, I can’t be you, and you can’t be anyone, what matters is finishing the race on a clear note,
The bell will ring on the finishing season, look there, they are on the same equal line.

Life is a mystery, its lessons are deep, those people you believed were behind you in the race may the the one to welcome you when you finally make it to the finishing line.

Long legs don’t mean you’ll run faster than someone whose legs are short.
The speed of success doesn’t come from our strength or the people we know, of course David knew no one, but He was crowned the King.

You might run all your life without ever making it to seeking point in the finishing line, but someone who just ran for five minutes made it to the finishing line, we call it the speed of grace.

You might be so focused, determined on your passion and dream without flourishing or making it to the finishing line, you might have big dreams and still end up not achieving big things, what you need in all things is grace.

It’s the grace of God that perfects all our dreams, visions and plans, besides it, one might toil rightly even in the right direction and environment for years in vain.

I know people who traveled to the US during the days of my Dad in the College, it has been decades of years, but they didn’t achieve anything, one of them he has been a citizen in the US for all that long years, married from Chicago, has two white daughters, he left Nigeria for US immediately after leaving College at 19 year, he should be around 75 years now, but I tell you the truth, he achieved nothing, I also know some friends who left Nigeria for US who flourished within few months, so it isn’t when you started, early or late, it’s only based on the difference offered by grace.

Let the grace of God enlighten your vision, let the grace of God drive your dreams, let the Grace of God inspire your determination, and you shall flourish now and ever after.

In our daily prayers, we often close with a verse from 2 Corinthians 13:14, “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the ‘sweet’ fellowship of the Holy Spirit abide with us now and forever, Amen.'”
