One common negative trait in humans is the fear of failure .This as it is is okay in that it motivates people to take positive oriented actions in life so as not to fail. The success of Okonkwo in THINGS FALL APART by Chinua Achebe was a typical example of how fear can push a man to greatness .unfortunately,many allow this same fear to cripple them,robb them their inner peace and ultimately reduce them to cowards who are unable to attempt anything meaningful.
But this is not the desire of our lord Jesus for our lives.Jesus wants us to MAKE IT in life hence he endowed us with innate abilities that helps to successfully tackle every tasks or responsibity before us.In other words,we are bigger than our fears because we have what it takes to overcome them:something that is within us and something that is never in short supply.
So,when you are tempted to fear,remember this and boldly declare to yourself,"I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me"
Always say to yourself," I WILL MAKE IT.I WILL SUCCEED.I AM AA DIVINE PROJECT THAT CANNOT BE ABANDONED AND BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABANDONED BY MY MAKER,HE WILL SEE ME THROUGH"
Activate your faith in God,let it replace your fears and you will see yourself effortlessly overcoming those " mountains " before you.
Confess positively to yourself all the time.Believe in your confessions;Do the best you can at all times;leave the rest to God and at the fullness of time it will be a surprise to you how far you will go in this unpredictable journey of life.
Lastly,before i conclude,i want to inform you that,"The thoughts of God towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil to give you an expected end"----jeremiah 29.11
And because HE means well for you,you must SUCCEED no matter what.SO, cheer up and go about your life,s mission with BOLDNESS because you are already destined to WIN and SUCCEED.you surely will MAKE IT in Jesus name --- AMEN

WHAT IS WORSE THAN BEING CRIPLED?
I attended a human developement seminar the other day and the above question was thrown at us----the seminar attendees.
To answer the question,some said "blindness'.Others said "Madness'while some said ignorance and others said it is "POVERTY" etc
To answer the question,the seminar host referred us to an interview Larry king had with John Reeves on the famous programme "Larry King live "
In that interview,the renowned American journalist---Larry king threw the question at John Reeves { a crippled American athelete who got crippled as a result of injury sustained in the course of his athleticc contest}
The disabled athlete in answering the question made Larry king to understand that he does not feel sorry for himself because he got disabled in the course of doing something meaninful with his life.
Then he said,"Knowing what to do and being too scared to do it is worse than being crippled"
And if Reeves answer to the question is anything to go by,then a lot of people today are crippled because they already know what to do and yet they are not doing it.
So, the question is what is it that you are too afraid or scared to do and why are you afraid? remember,fear is false evidence appearing real.It is just an attempt by the devil to stop you from doing something meaniful with your life to benefit mankind and glorify God.
So when next you become too fearful to attempt something meaniful,remember that fear is false and is only intended to stop you on the way.
Though every mortal entertain fear one time or the other but winners do not allow their fears to immoblize them rather they conquer their fears and go ahead to win their "trophies' and so become successful and renown.
Lastly,befor i round up,i want to encourage yo to always have the benefits of what ever you want to do in focus and that will enable you to face your fears squarely and by so doing avoid being worse than a crippled.
