CAN YOU PAY THE PRICE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

CAN YOU PAY THE PRICE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

"Until you are ready to pay the sacrifice for greatness, forget it! You will only remain a mediocre."

*Please ask those who have made it to the top if they got there on a platter of gold, or they just found themselves there accidentally.*

*You don't just confess greatness, you act it out. If we just profess greatness with no resultant force, we are only opting for mediocrity*

*A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, so your poverty will come like a prowler, and your want like an armed man.*

Reflection:

When we see someone who is prosperous in his field, we don't want to ask him the price he paid to get there, we don't want to know the inconveniences he has battled with. All we ever care about is just to be like him. Our desire will only remain a wish when we substitute sacrifice for pleasure.

√You see Lionel messi as the greatest footballer of our time. You desire to be like him yet you lack these things that have made him best footballer for close to a decade now:

*Balance

*Composure

*Control

*Dribbling

*Generosity

*Passing

*Power

*Speed

*Awareness

*Strength

Can I ask you these questions and please be honest to yourself?

How many hours do you practise?

How many skills have you got?

Your hope will only be dashed in the air by your negligence.

You hear some Gospel artistes sing and you fall in love with their trained voices.

You always desire to be like them, yet you don't have time for rehearsing.

You haven't learnt any skill.

You can eat anything despite knowing that for you to train your voice, you must be disciplined in stuffs you consume.

Do you think they got there on a platter of gold?

You want to become a specialist in your field,

Yet you don't even study.

You take your work lightly.

You are outdated in knowledge.

Without any apology, greatness is far.

It will only remain a wish.

Now to the crucial matter.

You desire to know God intimately.

You want to be like some great men of God.

You want to be a voice in your generation.

You want to touch higher realms.

Yet you are complacent in the place of fellowship.

You are inconsistent and negligent in your walk with God.

You don't give attention to reading spiritual books that could be of help.

You sit and cross your legs waiting for a miracle to catapult you to that height.

You can't pay sacrifice, then forget it.

Until you are ready to pay the price, please forget it!

I communicate strength to your feeble knees this day.

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
