Taking Risks

Taking Risks



So many times we shy away from taking risks but the truth remains that the things we fear will happen, do not always happen at the end of the day. Practically everything we do in life has to do with taking risks.

 The four lepers outside the city of Samaria took a risk of going to the enemies’ camp rather than staying back at the gates of Samaria and starving to death. That one decision saved the whole of Samaria.

Ruth did the same, refusing to stay back in the house and wallow in self-pity. She chose to get a livelihood so she could be of help to her mother in-law and her-self. Leaving her home town to tag along with her mother in-law to hers’ was also a risk in the first place. What if she wasn’t welcomed there? She didn’t mind all that could have happened, she went anyway risking it.

Esther wasn’t left out either. She took the risk of going before the king without an invitation from him, defying the laws of the land which says anyone who comes before the king without being invited will be killed. Was she killed? No rather her people were saved.


What are you scared of and what’s the level of your risk taking ability? The number of risks you take is directly proportional to the number of successes you achieve. Success is defined as the achievement of something planned or attempted. You can attempt it, it doesn’t matter the number of people attempting it.
 









Just do it
Yspot!

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
