Read From Nonentity to Celebrity (1) here!
"It happens that four lepers were sitting just outside the city gate. They said to one another, "What are we doing sitting here at death's door? If we enter the famine-struck city we'll die; if we stay here we'll die. So let's take our chances in the camp of Aram and throw ourselves on their mercy. If they receive us we'll live, if they kill us we'll die. We've got nothing to lose." -2 Ki.7:3-4(msg)
I shared in the previous post about four leprous men who changed the course of a nation. What comes to your mind when you hear names like Mandela, Lincoln, Clinton, David, Elijah, Aminu Kano, Ojukwu, Kanu, Ronaldiho, Durotoye, (put your name there)? Identity, privileges, power, certifications! Right? These four guys had none! No track record, no identity, no affiliation, no pedigree. They were outcast and had no portion in the city.
The moral of this is that 'if you take your chances with God in life, you've got nothing to lose; but you become a top loser when you accept fate.
Put your faith in God to work and take that giant step! Why sit you there till you die?
You will succeed!
