TRUTH SERIES 26- MAKING A NAME: CREATE SOMETHING

"Come; let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves


In the beginning God created…God being our creator has created us in His own image and after His likeness so as such we have the same potentials like Him too to create. I have used the word POTENTIAL because most people sadly enough in their life time could not discover this innate power resident in them and as such they could not make a name for themselves in their life time. But today, I want to put it to you that you have all that it takes inside of you to begin to think and act like a creative person as God Has made you irrespective of your background, skin color, educational qualification etc.

The Power to create lies in our ability to imagine. You need to sharpen your imaginative skill constantly if you want what we desire in life to come into manifestation, things don’t just happen like that, it starts in our imagination. Let us do a short exercise, some names are listed below, who comes to your mind when they are mentioned:

A, Virgin Atlantic
B, DAAR Communications
C, Microsoft
D, Covenant University
E, Silver bird
F, chair centre
G, Ovation.

I hope you guess right. We can see that for each of the above named brands, an individual name comes to mind. This goes to show that these people have made a name for themselves from their brands. They have created something that was not in existence before now. They have imagined something from the realm of the invisible to become visible. For instance, MICROSOFT is Bill Gates, Bill Gates is Microsoft, his real name and his brand name can be used interchangeably. Microsoft did not exist before until Bill Gates imagined it from the invisible world and brought it to the visible world.

After the creation of Heaven and earth, the Towel of Babel is another story that depicts how far imagination can be turned into reality. The men said, “Come let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, and they had brick for stone and bitumen for mortar”. Before that time, bricks were not in existence, what we had was stone, but they were able to imagine how bricks can be turned into stones.

There are thousands of things still missing in our environment, which someone, some where have to imagine and work on to make it a reality. It could be an invention, an idea, an organization, a book, a product, a business idea, a software program etc. These men building a towel interrupted God’s agenda in heaven, because of what they have imagined and were about to create. God had to come down and see the progress of the city and the tower they were building. I am persuaded that God Himself was amazed at their innovation.

I challenge you today to activate the power of your imagination, and I can assure you that the sky will be your stepping stone not even your limit……….IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT,THEN YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

TIPS TO MAKE YOU A CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL

1 Do not despise any thoughts that drop in your mind, write it down and take action.
2 create time to think.
3 Rub minds and associate with people that make things happen.
4 Read books and magazines that will motivate you to imagine
5 Be sensitive to your environment.
6 Always implement and work on what your mind has conceived.
7 Believe in yourself, even if no one else does.

Your response and comments will be appreciated .thanks.

TRUTH SERIES 25- IT’S IN YOU

These treasures are hidden in earthen vessels- 2 Corinthians 4v 7

It’s in you, you just have to dig deep and be at the top of your game -KANU NWANKWO in Peak Milk Advert

Everyone has muscles, only those who exercise theirs become visible. Your muscles in this case refers to your gifts. Most times we acknowledge what others have but unconsciously we fail to acknowledge and recognize what is deposited in us. Often times we say

-José mourinho is one of the best coaches.

-Obama is world best leader and orator.

-NICE is Africa best hip hop star.

-messi is a good dribbler.

-Drogba is Africa best striker.

-YOU IS ...........?

-what about YOU? What are you saying about yourself? What are people saying about you? What do people know you for?

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. -Philemon 1 verse 6

There is a good thing in every man, but it can only be effective when we discover and acknowledge it. Like kanu Nwankwo said, we just have to look with us and dig deep to discover and bring out what we have within us. The key is self inventory, it’s time for you to look with in, we have been looking around, we have been looking up to our environment and the Government, and the outcome has been disappointments and discouragement.

I encourage you today to look within to discover and exercise those gifts. IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE TOP OF YOUR GAME. Don’t be limited or shortsighted by your educational certificate i.e. B.SC, B eng, LLB, B .Ed, PHD ETC).Take a journey within and tap into the treasures God has deposited inside you. Remember Joseph gift made him appear before the King, David gift promote him from the far back to the Top. SEE U ON TOP.

TRUTH SERIES 24: WHAT IS YOUR VISION?

²⁸ "
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.-JOEL 2 V 28

We are in the last days, what visions are you seeing? What vision are you seeing for yourself, community and Nigeria as a whole? The young men in Joel 2 v 28 refers to both young man and woman.

We live in times and seasons to catch a vision to create the future, and not to complain or Siddons look.

What is vision? Vision is the ability to see a picture of a desired picture within the mind and taking responsibility to make it a reality.

-vision is the ability to see beyond now or today.

-vision is the ability to see into the future.

- Vision is the Picture you are seeing within.

The power of a Positive vision is the most forceful motivator for change for success, an individual, organization and nations possess.

In spite of numerous challenges facing us as a nation, the power of vision will make you as an individual to be committed towards achieving a Positive Noble cause.

Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

Vision preserves the future and give the people hope. But where there is no vision, the people die, cry and goes hungry, which is the situation that is happening in so many African countries because the Leaders lacks vision. Africa is in dire need of Visionary Leaders. Vision is what makes a Leader .It is a virtue of a Leader. People follows a Leader, the Leaders follows the Vision.

I challenge you today to catch a vision for yourself and Nigeria. Nigeria needs people like you and I who can see beyond Now. People who can create the Future. The power of vision motivated the Wright brothers to overcome disappointment and failure and build a flying machine. It motivated a small, unrefined, motley group of 12 men to change the world. They caught the vision of their leader, Jesus, and set the whole course of history.

I urge you to do the ff,

Believe in your Vision

PROTECT YOUR VISION

WRITE YOUR VISION

WORK OUT YOUR VISION

SET GOALS FOR YOUR VISION

SHARE YOUR VISION

TALK YOUR VISION

PICTURE YOUR VISION

See you in the future as catch a Vision and develop enough Passion to make it a reality.

TRUTH SERIES 23: WISDOM

Wisdom is the principal thing, in all thy getting get understanding - prov 4v5

I was at the Sunday morning service , My Pastor preached on the message ,title: wisdom ,In this week Truth series ,I will be sharing with you some of the things he said and most things that were running through my mind during the preaching.

One of the profound statement he made was that wisdom is doing the right thing at the right time with the right purpose to get the right result. He said wisdom is knowing what to do to get the desired result. He said most people can fast and pray but still few lack the wisdom to know the right thing to do. And knowing what to do Now is what takes one to the next level of our lives which we all desire but very few people get to their next level because they lack the wisdom.

WHAT IS WISDOM? According to wikipedia,Wisdom is a deep understanding of people, things, events or situations, empowering the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results with a minimum of time and energy.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.- david starr jordan

Through out our classes from kindergarten in Nursery to our final year in the university ,and even in our post graduate courses .Their is no subject called wisdom 101 or Introduction to wisdom or The Principles of wisdom, but from the scripture above ,we are made to understand that wisdom is life fundamental, in finance,marriage,business,career,Governance,Leadership,Relationship etc.

In this age and time, we need to manifest wisdom to our world ,we need wisdom to be relevant, we need wisdom to be relevant. My Pastor shared the story of Esther, that with wisdom,she presented Her case to the King, to the point that the King committed himself to do anything She wanted from him. In this generation, where graduating with first class is not a guarantee to secure a job; wisdom is needed to know what next to do. wisdom is needed to know which business to venture into, wisdom is needed to know how to raise capital to set up the business, wisdom is needed to know how to rightly implement business ideas. It now occurs to me that many are idle and jobless especially youths because they lack the wisdom to know what to do with what they have or where to start from.

⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously -James 1v5.May God give our generation wisdom to be relevant and to do the extraordinary in our NATION.
