6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!" I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future. Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview. Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized. He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of empl
So, I stumpled upon some really good inspirational stuff in some whatsapp group am in. Before I share, know that friends don' let friends go without knowing.
A DOG approached an ELEPHANT to get into a CHILD BEARING COMPETITION. The elephant agreed.So, hang on. You'll get there. Be still.
In 3 months, the dog gave birth to 6 puppies... In the next 3 months the dog gave birth to yet another set of puppies...
The elephant finally gave birth after 20 months by which time the dog had given birth to over 30 puppies and was mocking the elephant into believing that it had won the competition.
The elephant had a few words for the dog when the baby elephant came out after 20 months...
The elephant said "I can see you had fooled yourself into believing that you had won the
competition! I think you should know THIS;
*1. I DONT give birth to PUPPIES!
*2. When I do give birth, the calf will be ready to FACE the world on its OWN.
*3. The COMBINED WEIGHT of your 36 puppies is less than a FIFTH of my calf's weight.
*4. The moment my calf steps into this earth, it makes an IMMEDIATE GREAT impact as if no dog was EVER born".
Woow!!! I thought that was amazing for the elephant.
I looked up the Bible and saw this scripture.→→ Eccle 9:11- "I have observed something under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesnt always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry and the skillful are not neccessarily wealthy. And those that are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time."
Likewise, Dont let any EARLY LEADERS in this life chide you into believing that you are a
FAILURE, BEATEN flat out and you have already lost the battle of SUCCESS.
I want you to THINK like an elephant. DON'T envy cheap quick success. For as long as you are in the right place, your chance is coming and by the signs of time it won"t be long.
You are not that small to give birth to puppies. Only your one achievement will surpass several combined achievements!
The key part of the verse says, "...being in the right place at the right time."
All it means is-
-Remaining in the hands of God, you are guaranteed to make it in this life.
-Maintain your faith in Jesus Christ even when it looks like its all over for you.
-Looks are deceiving but the word remains forever.
-Know that Jesus never says goodbye...

2000 Brazil 2. Germany 0
2004 Brazil 1. Germany 1
Total : Brazil. 7 Germany 1
2014 Brazil. 1 Germany 7
When its your time, God can correct 10yrs of mistakes with 1 event. AMEN AMEN AMEN!
PATIENCE is a virtue, so NEVER GIVE UP! WE MUST KEEP OUR PERSPECTIVE.
Don't let the inequities of life keep you from earnest dedicated work; we serve God, not people...
Blessings
