Be Encouraged in Life

Be encouraged as I share these words: We all face challenges. We all have obstacles to overcome. But if we can keep the right perspective, it will help us stay in faith so that we can move forward into victory. You may feel, right now, like the challenges you face are too big or too overwhelming. 

It is the dawn of a new day. I see you making positive impact in the lives of those around you today.

There is a saying which goes thus; “whatever you can conceive, you can achieve”. I agree. This points to the power of imagination.

The story of R.G LeTourneau, an auto mechanic comes to mind here. He was a man who made use of his imagination to create earthmoving equipment, a feat that was far beyond his generation.

It is said that 70 percent of the earthmoving equipment and vehicles used during World War II came from his factories. As a result of his many inventions, he became one of the wealthiest men of his days.

On a particular day, he was flying in a private jet and slept off onboard and while sleeping, he will reach out for his notepad and write down things, then go back to sleep.

When they got to their destination, his friend, W. Clement Stone, a motivational speaker asked him what he was writing while he was sleeping but LeTourneau said he did not know.

He was the first person to produce bulldozers in the U.S and his equipment are still being used today.

One thing I’ve learned is that average people have average problems. Ordinary people have ordinary challenges. But remember, you’re not average. You’re not ordinary. You are extraordinary. God breathed His life into you. You are exceptional, and exceptional people face exceptional difficulties. But the good news is that we serve an exceptional God. 

When you have an incredible problem, instead of being discouraged, you should be encouraged knowing that you’re an incredible person, and you have an incredible future. Your path is shining brighter and brighter because of your incredible God. 

Be encouraged today because your life is on an extraordinary path. Keep standing in faith, keep declaring victory, keep declaring the promises of God over your life because you have an exceptional future. 

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.” Proverbs 4:18 ESV. Blessings to all. He is also God because He specialises in Impossibilities ... He is the only Boss.
