#FootstepsofGREATNESS [4]
No amount of seeing and believing will lead to GREATNESS if we just sit still with our dreams and faith.
We must take ACTION.
Lazy pessimists never achieve greatness because they would always find reason WHY IT CANNOT BE DONE.
I once heard a wise man say this: "the world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by the man doing it"
Show me one pessimist who climbed a great height and I will show you a thousand men and women of great faith who launched out in faith, conquered darkness and achieved true greatness.
Don't let anyone fool you to believe that vain confession without action, self-psyching and empty motivation will make you great. A motivated fool is still a fool and if he does anything great it will be a show of great foolishness.
Great people do not only SEE and BELIEVE that all things are possible with God - to proof that they believe - they STEP OUT in the direction of the GREATNESS they saw and believed.
This was what Father Abraham did.
"So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him.... (Genesis 12:4 NLT)
If Abraham saw and believed but never DEPARTED he would have been grounded in Haran.
Since the days of Abraham many more people have walked in the footsteps of Abraham and achieved greatness.
Martin Luther King Jr. saw and believed in a free and united America. He stepped out and his great dream came true.
Mother Theresa saw and believed in the great future ahead of the poor dying children on the streets of Calcutta. She stepped out and achieved greatness.
Nelson Mandela saw and believed in a free South Africa. He stepped out and achieved that great dream.
David Oyedepo saw and believed in liberated world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith. He stepped out and hundreds of thousands are being liberated in many nations across the world.
Seeing and believing is only a part of the equation. What we do with what we see and believe is what determines our outcome.
The man who stumbled into greatness will soon be crumbled into smallness. Believe that. No one drifts into greatness by chance and remain there.
You cannot believe what you cannot see and you cannot become what you believe but failed to act upon.
Has anyone ( Parent, Guardian, Teacher, Friend, Whoever) told you that you cannot do anything meaningful in life? Don't believe them. With men some things may be impossible but not with God. With God all things are possible no matter how unlikely it may seem at first.
Do you see GREATNESS ahead of you? BELIEVE it. If it can happen for one it can happen for anyone. If Father Abraham did it it, you can do it too if you walk in his footsteps.
Do you truly believe that you too can make a difference in the world? Take ACTION. The bridge between a dream and reality is ACTION. You don't have to start big to end big. You can start small and grow big.
Like Martin Luther King Jr. said: if you cannot fly, then run. If you cannot run, then walk. If you cannot walk, then crawl. But whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
You will get to that great destination, I pray in JESUS name
