A WINNER FROM CONCEPTION.!

I met an old friend and we were sharing memories together looking back at how bad and good it has been, though he does not look happy in the first place but at appoint he was sounding so bitter, you could even see how dissapointed  he felt, he was narrating his story, blaming his parents for his present state, blaming his brothers and sisters that were in a position to help for not helping him, his friends for not hooking him up, blames God for not answering his prayer and finally blames himself for even coming into this world in the first place,

Hmmm, It was too much to handle as I was also among the friends he was disappointed with at this point I was so careful of what I say because he can vent his anger on anything or anybody as he was so angry after all he has nothing to lose again, he has given up with life, “Guy anything can happen now ooh I de tell you, i send nobody ooh taah!!”  He barked at me.

“

Guy no de look me like that ooh” He said as he lit his rap of weed and began puffing, I kept quiet without words looking at him, we sat for some minutes without saying anything, for me I was just searching my mind for what to say as not to offend him. I found courage to face him by God’s grace I told him this;

You are a liar!! I said to his amazement, yes you are so wrong about yourself that you have allowed these hurt and destructive feelings to cloud your vision in life and now you are blaming everybody for the way, “You don chop this morning?” I asked “yes, wetin happen?” He asked back “Who give you money you take chop?” I asked him, “Guy which kind question be this?, na my money nah, hustling things you know nah” he said.

Good I said, he is a trained skill worker, If you can hustle legitimately and get a money you feed yourself with every day then you need to apologize to yourself for lying to yourself because you are a winner and a success because you have always won but have not recognized it. I said, come to think of it out of the 2o to 150 million per/ml of sperm produce during your conception you out ran all others and hit the egg first, that has made you a winner for life because you started winning from conception! (He laughed)

Some conception that took place alongside with you never made it, some were aborted, some were still birth, some were delivered and could not make the next day, some died as an infant either by one thing or the other, some died while schooling, some of your mates even died last night and here you are, healthy, strong, filled with life and yet you call yourself a failure, the truth is this, after your parents have given you that average care they can afford, the rest is left for you. Now it’s not wrong to expect help from somebody even from people that it’s their responsibility to help you, but you have to know that “THE BEST HELP EVER IS THE HELP YOU GIVE YOURSELF”.

“But first change your mental settings from failure to success” because if your mind is sick and demoralized then your whole body will be paralysed, be positive, prophesy positivity for yourself, think positive and it will help motivate your body toward taking a positive step to start something/where no matter how small, do not underrate it as it is written in God’s words;

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin”( Zech. 4:10, NLT). And watch yourself or your business grow with time as God has given us His assurance that “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase” (Job. 8;7). I tell you the great men of today started so small before they got to the peak and you are not an exception, you can even be more successful than they are now.

There was this half a minute silence between us after we spoke to an extent, as he keep staring on the floor and put up what I may not call a smile and I realized he has already put of the light from the weed he was smoking. You could feel how sober he was, and then all of a sudden “Nna meeehn you and this you pastor talk sef, nawa for you ooh” came his voice. “How I wish I was one” I said with a smile, though we changed the topic and started discussing other things, you could see that within him, those words were ringing bells inside him.

You are out there and you feel empty and fed up with life, let these words be your motivation, take your consolation from an orange seed so small but it grows to a big tree when planted and nurtured with love and care and it bears so  many fruits in its life time. Start something/where today and remember, Winners never quit and quitters never win!
