Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges. I had my fair share of those "challenges" When things don't seems to be adding up. I look into my past everyday not to live therein but to continually remind myself of that yesterday so I can fully appreciate the better today while I move into the glorious tomorrow.
A caring friend recently cautioned me on sharing my success story online. Her fear was influenced by the fact that we live in a cruel society where people are not happy about your success but rejoice when you fail so they're console of their own failure. However, My reason for sharing my story is not to brag or intimidate (far from it) after all, I'm still a work in progress. But I sincerely hope at least one person will see and believe that GOD is still in the business of making life better using me as case study.
I came into the city of lagos with a bag containing two shirt, a trouser, a pair of shoe, a buba and shoro(in case of parties), my credentials and a Bible (KJV). I was fully prepared to hustle like they say in lagos; to make it big before going back to Ibadan. Fortunately, I met a man of GOD (Revered Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Centre) who came into lagos a little richer in material possession some 17years before me but now a global phenomenon who through his teaching re-define success for me.
He (Revered Sam) explained that success is actually achieved without stress when you look out for the success of others through a series of preaching he titled "BETTER LIFE FOR EVERBODY 1-7 (please get the message and listen; it will bless you). And below are the principles I discovered from the series and yes they changed my life from Zero to Hero
Every human being is an extension of GOD; treat them like you will treat GOD
Until you can fully say you love people genuinely and unconditionally; your claim to love GOD is a lie.
Every man is created/configured for a special purpose.
Seek to make others happy, comfortable and successful because that is the easiest way to succeed and find the purpose for your life.
Don't be lazy and don't steal; its a bad strategy to success
Every good and perfect gift is comes from GOD
Success is inevitable when you allow the nature of GOD in your life.
I once tried to imagine my life without meeting GOD and knowing the aforementioned principles; its just better left in the imaginary world - Its chaotic!. These are my high points from the series and they obviously changed my life
As human beings; we are limited in our capacity to make things happen but wisdom should tell us when we get to the limit of what our human capacity can do; we need someone more powerful and more intelligent than us and that person is GOD. It is getting more difficult and darker out there in the world; I challenge you to sincerely start the process of positive change by not just surrendering your life to GOD through his son Jesus Christ but also living by his principles.
Life is not a destination but a journey - Here is my current location and my life is working just be the instrumentality of GOD's word. I am Bukunmi ‘PREACHER’ Adelani, a progressive Nigerian youth.
