WHY YOU MUST NOT FAIL

-


Happy Sunday my dear friend, thank you for celebrating me last week, and I'm so glad to see how far we have come together. May God continue to keep us stronger and productive. This week I will be talking on failure, emphasizing on why we must reject it. 

In life, many start out without clarity. No focus, no purpose, no vision. They move because others are moving. They act because they think they should, not because they are driven by intent. Yet, true success demands more. It demands that you settle one major question: Why must I not fail? Abraham Lincoln knew why he couldn’t afford failure. Though he lost much, he refused to give up. Lee De Forest, inventor of the triode tube, stood firm even when he was charged with fraud. Walt Disney faced countless rejections, but he pressed on. The Wright brothers were criticized and doubted, but they dared the impossible until they made it possible.


History tells us one truth. Those who win are those who refuse to surrender to failure. Many today give up because they assume things are impossible. They forget how impossible it once seemed to make a machine heavier than air fly, until the Wright brothers proved otherwise. They forget the days when electricity was just a dream, or when the idea of computers sounded absurd, until men like Charles Babbage stepped in. They forget the impossibility of black freedom in South Africa, until Mandela rose to fight. The only true impossibility is for a dead man. As long as you live, success is yours, if you know *why* you must succeed.


You must not fail because your success carries weight beyond yourself. If Mandela had failed, South Africa's freedom might have been delayed, costing more lives. When you fail, you fail not just yourself but those counting on you. If Lincoln had quit, he would not be remembered for persistence but for misfortune. If the Wright brothers had folded, air travel wouldn’t be what it is today. You are designed to be a solution. Failing to solve that problem is failing your destiny. If Edison had stopped after his 1,000th trial, the world might still be in the dark, and history would have mocked him, not praised him. That’s why you must not fail.


The reasons are endless, but they all point to one fact. Those who make it did so because they understood why they must not fail. They held that thought close, worked for their vision, and refused to quit. So if you desire success, start by considering your own reason. Settle it in your heart, and then move with purpose. Because truly, things only stay impossible until someone makes them possible.


Thank you for reading, do not forget to comment and share with your family and friends, see you next Sunday. I wish you a productive week.

TRUSTING GOD WITH EVERYTHING

  Hello, my dear friend,  I feel it's a good time to talk to you now that the holidays are over, and we are all getting back to our daily lives. It's important to take cognizance of some things that can help us live our best in this new year. Today, I will be speaking on "Trusting God with Everything." Many of us have reflected on the past years and observed that we lived each year with almost the same attitude and approach. We couldn't dare to take some steps, we procrastinated, we were afraid, and at some points, we doubted. All these happened because we didn’t believe enough. We didn’t take the steps that might have been the turning point we’ve been praying for.  We put in a lot of effort to succeed, while witnessing the success of people who didn’t do a quarter of what we did. Then, we begin to question God and grow the feeling that God isn't listening to us, not realizing that our insufficiencies are often due to our inability to take efficient steps. ...

MY TESTIMONY

They say life starts at 40, so I hope we all agree that I am now 22, with 62years experience. I am grateful to God that I have the opportunity to witness yet another year in the fullness of his grace, compassion of his mercy, and fulfillment of his promises. Today, I'll talk about some of my many experiences so far, how grace found and sustained me, my story may not be as popular as that of batman, superman, or even Cristiano Ronaldo, but my story is unique, and full of grace. I will also relate it with the topics we have talked about this month, as I have found purpose, dreamed, and I am manifesting.  It hasn't been a bed of roses, many waters have passed under the bridge, tons of water swallowed by the earth, but I am still here, if not for God, where would I be. I have endured a lot of hard times, experienced the death of my mother, father, husband and some other loved ones, but I've grown through all that I went through. Above all life, is full of surprises, disappointm...

THE GRAVITY OF GRATITUDE

Hello, my dear reader, It gladdens my heart to know that we both made it through 2024, and here we are in a new year, despite all the challenges of last year. In 2024, I was able to share a lot with you, and I hope to share even more in 2025. However, it’s important that we reflect on 2024 and prepare ourselves for the experiences of this New Year. Today, I will be talking about The Gravity of Gratitude. Join me. Let me begin by reminding you of the story of a certain man. This man lost his family, livestock, wealth, and health, yet he maintained faith and gratitude to God. He kept declaring God’s supremacy and continued thanking Him for His faithfulness, even through many challenges. His name is Job, and because of the gravity of his gratitude, God restored and blessed him in unimaginable folds. I know you went through a lot in 2024, but you must also acknowledge that God did even more for you. The very fact that you can read this message today means God has blessed you beyond reproac...
