Born to be great

At birth, no man was born better than the other, no one was born greater than the other and non-born richer than the other; we are all born with equal potentials. God created us wonderfully and fearfully according to the scripture. He made all things beautiful, even making provisions for us before our birth. Our being created in His image shows that we are all created equal. No man is favoured than the other. None is born “Giant” neither is any born a “Dwarf”. We are born to be great. No wonder God said “Ye are gods and all of you are children of the most high” Ps 83:10. God has planned your life for a specific purpose, to be great. When creating you He did not make any mistake; all the features of your life are in line with His purpose to make your life great and beautiful. God deliberately chose and planned all the features for you; your race, colour of skin and place of birth are not by accident, they are all part of the factors that would contribute to your greatness. God wants you to be great in life and not to be subject of reproach and ridicule. Instead of failure, He wants you to succeed. He wants you to dominate and rule the world and not manage it. Unfortunately, many people are dying as a “Dwarf” because they fail to unlock the potentials inbuilt in them; they failed to tap into the resources God has given them for greatness in life. A large proportion of people also fail to live their full potential because of environmental factors such as discouragement from family members, friends and lack of funds. These factors should not place a limit on your greatness; you have to learn to turn challenges to prospect in order to attain the greatness destined for you by God. Train your hearts to see opportunities in difficulties and your mind to develop ideas that will sell you to the world. God gave us a load of potentials to be great in life. These potentials are in-built ingredients for greatness. They are keys to attain greatness in life. Those that will be great will have to harness their potentials to archive the greatness God planned for them right from creation. Your in-built potentials are resources for greatness, but it is up to you to recognize them and use them to the fullest. Discover those potentials and you will find your way to the top in life. Great men and women in history had opportunities that all men have. They identified their hidden potentials and tapped into to get to the top. Bill Gates, founder and a retiree of Microsoft Corporation harnessed his potential and creativity to invent computer software. Through his computer software, one can get information about places, subjects, topical issues, etc. Bill Gates is one of the greatest men the world ever produced. You too can become a hero of your generation if you can tap the potentials that are lying dormant inside of you. Part of your potentials is your gift. We are all gifted; one may have more than the other but there is none without a gift. God did not give you the gift for a waste neither did He give you for you to hide and deny it out of a false sense of religious humility. He gave gift as resources for success and greatness. Not putting those gifts to use is like having dormant talent. Your own talent might be singing while mine might be architectural design. We all have to make use of our different unique gifts fullest to attain where we are all destined to be. After creation, God passed the potential to create to man, whom He created in His image. Therefore you need to start creating inventions in the area you are gifted. Create good music; create good business idea and you will find yourself among the great people. Explore your potentials to make yourself great and outstanding in life and enlist yourself among the generation of people that leave an imprint in the sand of time. You are born great, do not die a “dwarf”. Oduntan Adebuga Author, Empowered For Wealth 08060908268, 08022127151
