We have been talking about the power of vision for the past two days. To juice it up and to bring the example down to our doorstep; I would like to tell my life story. I know God will use my story to re-ignite somebody’s vision today.
I attended a community secondary school in my village. In 1986, I was supposed to register for WAEC exams but my parents couldn’t afford the fees. I watched in frustration as all my classmates completed their registration and the period was almost over. I was depressed and highly discouraged. But surprisingly, the period was extended by one month. Together with my mum and my siblings, we engaged in extra farming activities to enable us sell our farm produce and raise money required for the late registration. My mum developed whitlow at both hands on the middle fingers as a result.
That experience wasn’t funny; and I didn’t know it was a process. For behind every glory there is a story!!
I told myself; “Girl, be ready for God to use you to break the stigma of poverty in your family. Hence, you must not end up in this village. You must say No to early marriage. You must further your education and be gainfully employed before marriage.” To the glory of God, God used me to break the jinx called poverty! Against all odds, I became the first graduate in my family. The first person to work as a civil servant, and I got married after attaining my vision at age 26 to a godly man who has helped me to serve God in a higher capacity. Praise the Lord!!!!
Prov. 29: 18 says, “Where there is no vision the people perish”. It doesn’t say where there is no money, where there is no opportunity, where there is no talent. What limits us in life is a lack of vision. Friends, know this, that what you see in your future is more than what you are seeing in the presence. I’m asking you to see yourself blessed, prosperous, talented, successful, and being able to accomplish your dreams.
PRAYER POINT:
God, open my eyes to see what is in the future for me. Pray this prayer with all seriousness please.
CONFESSION:
I am blessed, I am prosperous, I am talented, I am successful, With God on my side, I will accomplish my dreams.
