If You Want A Change, Make A Change

Friends, greetings in Jesus Name! Today I will be sharing with you on what I title, “If You Want A Change, Make A Change”. You and I did not have a choice over the type of family we were born – rich or poor. But we have a choice over what we become in life – good or bad. Meaning, if I am born into a poor family, it shouldn’t be the reason why I should stay poor for life. Why? There are those born in abject poverty but today are very rich. Equally, there are those raised in a modest and rich background but turn out poor and beggars. That is to say, it is not so much of where you are born but what you choose to become in life, even in the face of adversity. In life, nothing just happens. If you do not like where you are right now – shedding tears, whining, complaining and murmuring – cannot change the situation. What changes the situation of an individual is his or her faith in God (Mark 11:22), the belief and the mentality that “you can” (Phil. 4:13), and taking appropriate actions (James 2:17).

To change the ugly circumstance facing you, you must learn to change your position. Progress is never made when you are stuck in one spot. Changing your position requires taking action. Like Newton’s First Law of Motion states, “Every object assumes a position of rest until a force is applied to it.” In other words, when a force is applied to a stationed vehicle, it has no choice but to move. When that happens, it changes its location. Now, applying this law to your life, it means that things will remain the way they are until you do something. Therefore, for things to happen you must make it happen. You see, life is a daring adventure. And it takes those who are daring to make it happen. The Almighty God has put within you all that it will take to succeed in life. By creation your gene is immune to failure. Meaning, zero tolerance to failure and backwardness. Even if you are crippled, that isn’t enough excuse not to make it in life.

Born without hands, Mr. John Foppe, knew what it was to suffer loneliness and emotional trauma for not being able to help himself but relying on others to do things for him. But one day, he cried out to God, and God gave him an idea. Then he made up his mind that if he will ever succeed in life, no one but him can do it. Immediately, he began to use his two legs to do what his two hands could have done for him. With his legs, he holds a pen and writes, takes up a cup and pours water to drink, cook for himself, drive his car, put on his clothes, and does whatsoever imaginable you can do with your hands. Today, he is a world-renowned motivational speaker and consultant with over 40 employees working for his organization. He is rich, comfortable, and married with children. He wrote a book, “What’s your Excuse”. Listen, it is only you that can stop you. Your biggest enemy is you. Remember, change begins with you, and it starts now. Have a fantastic week. With love, Elvis!
