Welcome to #GYG (Give Your Greatness) Day 8. If you missed the last 6 days, you can read up HERE. #GYG is a 10 days tweet series compiled daily and published on this blog.
#GYG means Give Your Greatness and many people have asked, 'how can I give what I don't have?' You and I know that you have something inside you to give your world even though things do not seem to be working now. The fact that things are not working in your life at the moment doesn't mean you have no greatness to give your world. I need you to know that ‘challenges’ and 'problems' are not peculiar to you alone. The best of men have them too. Even God who created the universe had challenges. If you don't believe check Gen 1:2 (..and the earth was without form and void). If God who created you and I had challenges why do you think you and I will be spared? #GYG
I know you have prayed about these challenges over and over again and it seem not to be going away – it is because you are a great man. I understand what it means not to feel like praying when your pastor leads those ‘cliche’ prayers because you have prayed them severally. When your pastor declares 'God will change your story' and you say Amen, not because you believe it but because it's necessary. I know you are not happy; you don't feel like smiling because the problems are weighing you down. I understand! You cannot afford to be down because of problems and challenges. God had problems and he wasn't down because of it. #GYG
In the course of Giving Your Greatness to the world you will face challenges that will make you want to give up but don't succumb. It was shortly after God's challenges that the earth was created. Shortly after the challenges of David in the hands of Saul he became the King and ascended the throne promised him. Shortly after Israelite's challenges they conquered the Philistine. Challenges are bound to show up just when your greatness is about to happen. Don't give up just yet. Know that your greatness is about to be announced if you are on the verge of committing of suicide. No matter how bad things seem to be, be aware that your greatness will soon be obvious and those challenges are only distractions. #GYG
Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. We give up at night, hence, the reason why we miss joy in the morning. So you may have been crying for many nights, don't lose faith; you will surely laugh again – it's a matter of time. One of the major attributes of men who gave the world their greatness is that they are incurable optimist. Thomas Edison who invented the incandescent bulb light tried and failed a thousand times but he kept going. You cannot afford to lose your 'optimism' and become pessimistic. Pessimism is word you find in the lives of mere men. #GYG
How come Mandela stayed in Prison for 27 years and refused all the deals he was being offered? OPTIMISM! Don't lose yours! Optimism is the stuff that great men are made of and when the world thinks low of them they keep giving their greatness. Tonight, it is my intention that you keep the optimism despite how many times you may have failed. Your failures are only temporary; your greatness will soon be pronounced. Give Your Greatness even in the face of challenges and troubles – that is how we know if greatness is for you or not. #GYG
So you want to be celebrated? You want to make impact and change lives? Challenges will come but great men are always Optimistic. Let people ask you why you are laughing when you should be crying and your response will be 'great men are always optimistic' #GYG
