WAKE UP God is everywhere (Omnipresent). His protection,provision and manifest presence however, are in your calling! You are only anointed in your Assignment ! There is something about you that made the father sacrifice His son for you.. There is a place you are called to be.... There was a need that God saw, a vacuum he noticed that birthed the thought of YOU in His mind! Find your place! An Eagle may spend its life among chickens because it was hatched among them. But its potentials will always distinguish it. However, the power of choice still belongs to it! It may decide to live amongst them and try to adapt to their lifestyle. Itll always wonder though,why it has to struggle even in feeding, seeing that the shape of its beak is much different from the others. Itll live in fear and each time a hawk carries one of its brethren, hell wonder when itll be his turn. A sleeping dynamite... Carrying the potentials of a predator, but living like a prey! What can you do? What are those potentials that distinguish you? What do you notice most? What would you be doing even if you didnt have to be paid to do it? What gives you joy when its done? What hurts you when you notice its absence? What do you do without struggle? Like the eagle among chickens, perhaps youve spent your whole life trying to fit in when you were born to stand out! You feel none has ever gone the path youre being moved to follow. So you decide to follow other routes. At least , there are people walking those paths. Why not carve a niche for yourself? Why not blaze a trail for others to follow? You are much more than you think you are! Do you know that Gods rain of abundance may be falling for you somewhere while you are in a different place tilling the hard ground and complaining of famine?! Children can afford to play with dynamite......... Right up to the moment it gets ignited! An understanding of Purpose is the greatest ignition your destiny needs! When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable! The gifts and calling of God are without repentance(Romans 11:29) Gifts........ Calling! Many gifts........ One Calling! Many potentials.... One purpose! The potentials are to fuel the purpose! The truth is that no matter what a product achieves, if it doesnt meet the need for which the manufacturer intended, its still a failure in the eyes of the manufacturer! Three questions we should ask ourselves..... 1. WHO AM I ? (The question of Identity) 2. WHY AM I HERE (The question of Purpose) 3. WHERE AM I GOING TO (The question of destiny and accountability) Its time to wake up! Awaken to the reality of yourself! You are a Star! Say to yourself,No one can make me a Star! I add the twinkle to every environment I find myself. What makes a star shine doesnt come from without. It comes from within! You were born a Star! Like the eagle, you need to acknowledge your discomfort with where you are. Stretch those wings and flap them.. Hard! You can fly beyond the fence. Sometimes that eagle may need the vision of another eagle high in the sky to stir him up! He needs to be ignited! Like a dynamite, you carry unlimited potential. All you need is ignition! The word you are reading now is already setting a fire in your bosom. I know because theres fire in mine and the deep calleth unto the deep! Wake Up! You have God... You are not a failure! You have an Assignment... It is not too late! You have Potentials... They are seeds! As long as you have TODAY, you can begin to take a step in the direction of your purpose. A great man once said, The graveyard is the wealthiest place on earth. It is filled with untapped treasures and unharnessed potentials. It is filled with men who died still full of the treasures God packed inside them But today , were changing all that. A new dawn has come. It starts with the man in the mirror. Wake Up! Start working on that album... Itll be a Hit! Start putting down some of those thoughts in writing.... Itll be a bestseller! Start that talk show.... DSTV will look for you! Invest more in counselling people..... Theres a thin line between life and death. You can make that difference! Join a local football club..... (I know one day youll make us proud). Dont wait for Nolly(holly)wood... Join the little drama group! Let nolly(holly)wood look for you! Begin that youth outreach... Tomorrow is in the hands of the youths who can see it today! Give them that vision. Start that NGO... Give your vision a mission. United Nations will find you! Stop running helter-skelter looking for prayers when there are nations waiting for you to pray for them. Whatever your calling, whatever your assignment, whatever your passion,begin to utilize the talents youve been given! Find your place... Your time is now! A new generation is being birthed... A generation that will not take NO for an answer... A generation that will not follow the normal routine... A generation that will place purpose above career and use career to facilitate purpose..... A generation that will define Fulfillment not in terms of financial or material gain, but in terms of pleasing the Master..... A generation that will deny the graveyard of more treasures.... A generation that will live full, and die empty! I am one of that generation!!!........ ............ And so are you! Oje Ikenna Valentine
