At the sound of the whistle,the race began.It wasn't a 100meters race or a rellay .This race was a marathon and much energy was needed to go through to the finish line ...
Only the best athletes were selected to run this race ,so the competition was going to be a tough one . Wining won't be easy .Thinking about this made Tunde sweat even more ,though the race had not begun yet ..One could hear the sound of his heart beat like a drum.( He was so tensed ). This was a race of his life ,His career depended on Him winning and he may as well not even think of running again if he lost. Trying to shake off the anxiety he felt ,he decided to stretch some more and do some warm ups " I am just going to focus on getting to the finish line " He said to Himself .. Though the weather was cold and the wind blew , Tunde was still sweating ( he hard this awkward way of responding to pressure)...
Peem!! The whistle blew !!! The race started off slowly .Endurance , determination and consistency alongside speed were the hallmarks of this race..Being ahead at the early stages of this race didn't matter much,the question was to be able to maintain that spot till the finish line. Many started off very fast and ahead of others but moments into the race,their strength failed and they began to have a relasp .. Really it didn't matter who started first!!!...
The race had so many obstacles. The hills and valleys on its path made it a bit difficult but Tunde was determined to get to the finish line..Though he started of slowly behind the other althets ,his pace soon increased as he caught up with them making sure to maintain the same pace....Climbing up those hills and going down the slopy curve almost made him fall ,his body wanted to fail him but his mind was made up...."I am crossing that finish line " he kept telling him self..He did not seam to care about the other athlets as far as he was concerned,he was no longer in competition with them rather the only competitor he had was himself...And so he ran looking forward to the finish line.. Not minding the obstacles,he soon found his way around them .............Up down,up down,his feet went .They look liked they were been controlled by some form of machine as he gradually increased his pace at the sight of the finish line....Oh the Joy he felt ,he was almost there. The adrenaline rush surge through his being like currents of electricity , charging him up causing him to run faster ........You know the end of the story 😀...
Have u ever started something you know you would profit from not just financially but in adding value to your self and at some point you felt like just giving up?!!
Has God laid something in your heart to do and you got excited doing it but at some point ,it looked tough and as though God didn't send you at all ?.you know giving up is very easy ,most times it seems like the easy way out .You know that thought comes and says " Y are you even stressing yourself , Just forget about that thing and do something else"... "Or maybe this thing is not just for you try another "...Well don't !!! Don't listen to that voice...Don't quit even if the reward looks small, Don't quit even when others don't notice you, Don't quit when the Devil tells you "you are wasting your time"..Just don't quit...
In 2017 I was planning to host a youth program on my birthday because God had told me to ...I didn't have enough funds for the venue I wanted to use ..Intact the money I deposited for the hall was less than 10% of the price ...The manager of the venue laughed and said if you can't give me something tangible , and some one comes with a higher sum of money I will allow the person use the hall in place of you.. I told her no problems,I would get back to her the following week.. My program was in 2 months time ,so I felt I would be able to raise a substantial amount of money befor that time...The weeks turned to months and I had not given her any money out side the initial deposit I made and so she was calling me ...At some point I asked my self " who send me abeg, make I just forget about this program no be by force" ..But you see God told me to hold the program...And so I went about inviting people and praying for this program to hold 😁...I had not paid for the venue yet. And so a day to the program the manager called me and asked if I was a serious person at all 🙈 ,she scolded me and wanted to return back my initial deposit. She even told me to cancel the program..I look at her and said " Ma God told me to hold this meeting and I will..I will give you the complete cash befor the end of today" As at that time there was no single cash in my hand ..But I was not ready to give up!!!! . My Faith was standing on His word !!! I went back home and shut my door and I prayed , while praying the spirit of God told me what to do,few hours later ,I got 100% of the money ..The program held and we had about 120 persons in attendance!!!!... What if I gave up?....
