Contribute to Your Unbelievable Turn Around




Deal loving people,

Nothing happens is this world that does not take effort. History, until our present time, has been shaped and molded by the efforts of men and women of both renown and obscurity.

Songo is a guy with MBA (Masters in Business Administration). One day he came home so tired and dejected after he had searched for a job to no avail for well over 7 years. He decided to change his strategy and to start somewhere with anything and so got a job as a Gatekeeper at a prestigious company in town.

One Sunday after church service, he was chatting with his Pastor and the Pastor at one moment told him specifically that God will turn his life around sooner than he could imagine. Songo was quick with all conviction to say ‘AMEN’.

Shortly afterwards, the management of his company decided for some unexplained reasons to review all the credentials and job descriptions of all its personnel. That is how they came to discover who their Gatekeeper actually was with regards to education and behold! He was named Deputy General Manager a few days later with all advantages included such as service car, a driver, a company house, a comfortable salary etc.

I know many people will be quick to say a miracle had happen to Songo or that God had suddenly blessed him. Very true but guess what? His blessings did not come out of nothing; it was not just some stroke of luck. He actually worked for it.

Remember that he searched earnestly for a job; irrespective of his education, he humbled himself and started somewhere with as little a job as a Gatekeeper and seeking God’s blessings in church. Summarily, God blessed his efforts.

The Point! God can only bless your efforts or actions that you are taking earnestly towards growth. If you fold your arms and sit waiting for some blessing to change your life out of nothing, Trust me! nothing will ever happen even if you pray all the days of your life. Start doing something, and then you can ask and receive God’s unfailing support.

I read with passion 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) which states clearly that “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Do what you can earnestly and leave the rest to God.
