PROLOGUE
If you are holding this publication, I congratulate you because you are part of destiny. When you finish reading it and act, you will call me in five years to come, by then we will be in the billionaires club, controlling the economy of this Nation and of the world, making difference in politics and other professions; commander of industries as we positively make impacts in our generation.
Advice they say is worth more than a million dollars. You have so many mentors; you have read so many books; you have attended so many seminars, conferences and summit, but the hunger and thirst never seize. Friends, family members and even your parents advice you to quit (you betters get something else doing). Wow! You are confused, you don’t know what to do, but there is this feeling that woke you up in the night, the curiosity for greatness, it’s telling you, you can!
See how talented you are; my God! You are so brilliant and creative, everybody knows but you have nothing to show for it. They keep asking you: Have you got the job? Where is your office now? Is your album out yet? What about the book I saw you working on? What about the proposal? Am yet to see you on TV, how is your GP now? How about your admission? and many more. You cry secretly, nobody can feel your pain, you still act as every normal person, you are about giving up the fight.
Raise up your head; it is not over yet. I am not here to give you sweet words or to just motivate you, I know you have heard enough; I have too, and I need an answer just as you do. Come with me and let’s go back to the design board and our re-creation laboratory.
Every scientific invention was born from a curiosity to find solution to a problem or an answer to a question. The same is applicable to us as human being; we all know we are on this planet earth for a purpose. But it doesn’t make sense to us until we come to a point in our life where we ask this question “What on earth am I here for?” until we ask our self and provide adequate answers to it we can’t make our life an invention. If you have not in anytime in your life, ask that question and you specifically deal with it by providing an answer to it. You can do it now; that is the starting point, I did mine at the age of 15. You may have turned 50 or 60 now but that is immaterial, you can still do it. Moses did not discover his purpose in creation until he was 45. You may think: how can I go about this? A potter does to a pot what he likes, because he created it. So your creator knows why he made you. Hence, go back to him. Every true successful people on earth have gone through this process. So do it, and if you have already done this before, congratulation!
Let’s ride on our way to success.
To prepare us ahead, let me share this little revelation I got from one of Bishop Oyedepo’s Teachings which has changed my life.
“Success in the kingdom is not a function of connection is a function of revelation.”
From experience and research I discover that 90% of Nigerians never accomplished their set goals because of total dependent on man (may be a politician, a business man, a brother, sister, mother, father or friend). Which have repeatedly failed them but they never seem to learn from it until they are dead (not attaining their purpose of being created). From my little experience, I discovered that 90% of the contract I won are from the people I never knew or had any contact with (while I was still busy running to be connected). I got admission into an International School without knowing a person; a school been coordinated by people of difference religious belief and language.
I now know that if a man’s success inspires you to be ; lifting you up, you can only go beyond his height of attainments, but if God lifts a man, He lifts him above all. Where you are going to in life is not determined by your background or your present financial status. What you need first is not money; you need to discover what you are born to do. Statistics shows that majority of the millionaires that are emerging now adays come from a poor background. So if you come from a poor family like me there is still hope for you; don’t give up !
“I am the Lord your God that gives you power to make wealth”
You can make it happen in 2010
Make this your watch word
“I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME”.
BOLD STEP
Statistics shows that, out of every one hundred people when asked;
Do you want to be successful?
100% answer yes, unfortunately 95% out of 100% cannot sacrifice or do what it really takes to be a successful person.
Many have died with their dreams unaccomplished. Some with their project unexecuted and others with their talents not expressed. No wonder a wise man says “The richest place in the world is the grave yard; that is where the various great potentials not utilized are buried life”
Don’t hold your success to yourself.
“You are God’s handkerchief to someone in tears” Akin o. alibi
That dream, that talent could be what will take you to the expected end, God is heading you to. Take a bold step now! Get rid of the fear,
“Refuse to let fear control your life or it will keep you from ever reaching your destiny” Bob Gas
Are you intimidated about your given talents? Are you saying I’m not as good as this or that person? That talent or idea is not as little as you think, start work on it. Are you scared that you are too young to execute that project or you are bothered about the finance. All these held me back too, until I registered my company name at age 19 despite all hindrances, take it out of your head
“Your self-esteem is not predicated by your age, bank account or material property”Cology
God is looking beyond that in your life. “Go in that your might you mighty man of Valor”
Take hold of that talent, re-structure those dreams; pursue that goal; go and start that business; make that phone call; submit that proposal; take that bold step now. If you do not, another person will. Stand up to the task. Jesus started dominating as a child; David as a teen; you can do it.
“Maturity is not about your age. It depends on experience and how wide you can think and put things in order”
Dr. Samuel Langely a professor of mathematics and astronomy at the Smith Sonian Institution, in October 8, 1903 took a bold step, to make man fly in the sky. What a great innovation; with all zeal, putting together all materials and money and with the support from U.S Department of Defense’, he succeeded after many trials. He failed the first and second time he tried to fly his plane and was blasted by the New York Times they said
“We hope professor Langely will not put his substantial greatness in further peril by continuing to waste his time and money”,
what a discouraging word. What do you do when you are discouraged doing what you like doing best? So many time you have been despised, don’t be discouraged, the world have been known for that. Albert Einstein tried inventing electricity and failing more than an hundred times so try on more times. Professor Langely was frustrated and, he forgot where he was going to and missed it he wrote ” I have brought to a close the portion of the work which seemed to be specially mine for the next stage, the world may look to others.” What a sorrowful end of a great innovation.
The world did look for others, now we all see air planes, helicopters and jets even rockets around us today. The Wright Brothers were the two bicycle mechanics who pioneered the first plane that flew and landed successfully. After ten years, bicycle mechanics finished up the project and succeeded a Professor. Orville and Wilbur Wright, with no Educational background and no funds or support from the Governments flew their plane (flyer 1) over the sands of Kitty Hawk and into history book.
“You don’t need money first you need idea first” Myles Munroe
Define where you are going to, it may take a little longer; the road might be rough but don’t be discourage; take a bold step forward on that vision
“Beginning is half done” Robert Schuler
The world is waiting for your manifestation. That one Idea in you can change Nigeria and this generation for good. The world is waiting for your arrival or do you want us to look for others? God forbid!
Take the bold step to succeed now, the future is yours. You are the messiah of that profession, business, craft … come and show the light they are expecting. I leave you with this.
Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You have all that the greatest of men had to be successful.
You have all you need (a brain) to use to be wise. This is more than enough for you to get started.
“So start for the top and say I Can” Edgar Guest
Act Now! you can make it happen in 2010!
