On your road to greatness

i VENTURE to say these words based on the basic assumption that yours truly is already on the road to some high and noble greatness and with these words it is my hope and prayer that you will be invigorated to pursue your destiny with vigor and renewed impetus..


There is no greatness with no discipline or training and steady working towards a goal. Goals take pain out of the torment of labor and preparation. Success will not happen by accident. Patiently nurture your desire as you prepare yourself for the fullness of time. Do not give up or despair. Just prepare relentlessly. Yours time is coming the time that you spend in preparation is an investment.


Prayer is an important key in fueling your desire. All of us can do many things but we are all limited, being human to go beyond our limitations. We need to put our trust and faith in the God who created the world. Prayer gives you strength to face challenges and mountains seem as small hills. Success that ignores God , does not have eternal horizon ignoring God is vanity of vanities say the wise psalmist.


David Livingstone is one of the greatest explores of his time and faced a lot of dangers and tribulations he got his strength to fulfill his desire through prayer. When he died it is said it took a while for his assistant to discover that he was dead all the while they thought he was just kneeling in prayer . There is a powerful link between prayer and desire. This link is distilled in Mark 11:24.


Perseverance is the womb of desire. Life is not a hundred meter sprint , it is a marathon . In the journey of success you will have some challenges along the way but keep on persevering. Turn whatever problems you meet into propellers. Keep focused on your desire for with greatness it is always too soon to quit. Remember that quitters never win and winners never quit.


Anybody who becomes an overnight success was not sleeping the whole night. How could they sleep with the force of desire throbbing in their hearts and minds.


The key to unleashing your greatness is to find your passion and then give it all you have got.


What actions do people admire you for.


What is it when you do people seem to marvel.


Do not look down on the things you do well . You are meant to achieve greatness when you create value for other people.


To your manifold greatness, led by the Great Ancient of Days
