Don't You Ever Give Up On Your Dreams

I must appreciate the fact that I have been away for a while now but before I continue, I would like to welcome you all out there back to this platform and secondly beg you from the dept of my heart never to give up on the dreams God gave you at the beginning of this year irrespective of what you are seeing today. Rather, be resolute that you will have a very productive year piloted by God Himself.

With that done, now I will want us to reflect on some of the issues that have kept me away for this long. These are issues that bother on how far anyone out there can go this year: the issues are what I call the wheel of success - discipline, diligence and sacrifice.

Discipline: This is the ability to motivate oneself in spite of a negative emotional state. It is the systematic instruction given to train oneself on morals, a craft or trade; or following a particular code of conduct or "order" in achieving an assignment. Discipline enforces order – that is, ensures instructions are carried out. The qualities associated with self-discipline include willpower, hard work, and persistence. 



Quoting the words of our beloved father, Bishop David O. Oyedepo: "prayer is helpless when it comes to taking you to the place of leadership; rather pray for the grace to give leadership all it takes, grace to stay discipline as long as it take and grace to give it the diligence it requires backed up by the desired sacrifice".

A combination of Godly character and capacity automatically makes you a leader that even the devil cannot stop (that is a total commitment to godly character and a commitment to continuous capacity building).

Diligence: This is how much time you work or put into your endeavour. The amount of time you put into your own work determines your ultimate worth! It is only those who work hard become successful (remember that it is what you put into a Computer that it gives out to you). The value in you cannot manifest without it demanding a cost on you (the more you refine gold, the purer it becomes). Hard work does not kill!

Sacrifice: Is going the extra mile in your discipline; paying the extra price in your diligence and taking the extra step to deliver on your mandate. This can not be substituted with anything; this means it is either you are sacrificing of you are not. Invest your time to create the future you desire.

The measure of these virtues you imbibe or drink determine how far you will go in life. let's take a step further it determines the choices you will make in life and the information and the quality of peers that can or may hank out with you.

My earnest wish is that as you read this extract, yo will take a decision to build upon this virtues this year.

God bless you
