Do You Have a Story?

Arguably, yes! Right?

We all have stories to tell. In these stories, we decide our characters—whether we were the heroes, villains, servants, or even the saviors. These roles stem from our past experiences, and your story has the power to unlock who you truly are. This power can set you on a path of greatness or lead you astray.

Take the famous example of two sons of a poor drunkard. One becomes very successful and stays far from alcohol, while the other ends up as a poor drunkard himself. When asked why they turned out so differently, they both point to the same reason: their father’s drinking habits.

Another story I respect deeply is about a man who resigned from a well-paying job, with benefits like housing and allowances, to pursue his vision. His father had held the same job, but the ending wasn’t satisfying for him. The son saw the same pattern emerging in his life and decided to break free, using his story to change the course of his future. Today, he’s making waves in his chosen field, refusing to let his past define his future.

"Your story carries power—power to lift you or destroy you. Use it to unlock your greatness."

Do You Know the Power of Your Story?

Your story carries immense power—power that can elevate you beyond anyone's expectations. It is the "why" behind your existence. Once you grasp this, you’ll realize that your story can propel you to greatness. Whether your past is filled with negativity or positivity, it holds the key to unlock the hero within you.

In every story, there’s a lesson that can help you develop grit, resilience, focus, and perseverance. Your story shouldn’t make you give up. Even when things get tough, keep going until victory comes. You can take the negative energy from your story and turn it into something positive. No matter your current state or situation, you can redirect your story’s power to unlock greatness within yourself.

"In your story lies your purpose. Find it, live it, and let it transform your life."

Your Story Builds Your Future

Think about the young shepherd who faced wild animals daily to protect his flock. When war broke out in his village, and there were no warriors around, he remembered his victories over those animals. This birthed the warrior within him, and he went on to defeat the enemy, eventually becoming king, despite coming from a non-royal family.

"Heroes are born from the lessons of their story, not by resting but by turning obstacles into purpose."

You may have little victories in your life—small sales, small accomplishments, small milestones—but they can lead to much bigger triumphs. Your small wins in poetry can birth the next great poet. Your small shop could become the next big restaurant chain. Your little dramas in school could lead you to be the next world-famous actor.


What is your story? If you can answer that, then you already hold the power in your hands. Use it! In your story lies your purpose. Find it, live it, and transform your life.

Samson and Delilah: When Love Lacks Leadership By Solomon Ebenezer

Image
                 Image from pinterest.com Samson and Delilah: When Love Lacks Leadership By Solomon Ebenezer Samson ’s story is one of the most intriguing in Scripture — a man chosen by God, filled with strength that no warrior could match, yet undone by a woman he loved. But when you look closely, you’ll see it wasn’t Delilah ’s beauty that destroyed him. It was the absence of leadership in his love. Let’s journey through their story again, not as history, but as a mirror for today.  Samson didn’t teach Delilah how a wife in Israel behaves Samson, the mighty judge of Israel , was meant to deliver his people from the Philistines . Yet, one evening, while walking through the valley of Sorek , he met Delilah — a woman whose charm silenced his discernment. He fell for her instantly. But love, when not guided by wisdom, becomes a weapon turned inward. Samson brought Delilah into his arms, but not into his world. He never showed h...

THE LIFESTYLE OF A STEWARD: HOW TO LIVE A LIFE GOD CAN TRUST By Ebenezer Solomon     Images from pinterest.com INTRODUCTION We live in a world obsessed with ownership . Everyone wants to own more—more money, more time, more opportunities, more space. But spiritually and practically, true greatness is not built on ownership—it is built on stewardship . A steward is someone who understands a simple but powerful truth: “I own nothing; I manage everything.” This mindset changes how you see your life, your work, your relationships, and even your future. When you live as a steward, you stop living carelessly and start living intentionally. You begin to protect, grow, and multiply whatever God has placed in your hands. This is the lifestyle that attracts favor, promotion, and influence. WHO IS A STEWARD? A steward is a trusted manager—someone responsible for handling something valuable that belongs to Another. The Bible says in Psalm 24:1 : “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything...

Overcoming Fear: Unlocking Your Potential for Legacy

Image
  In our lives, we often find ourselves reflecting on the choices we've made, wondering how things might have been different. Regrets linger, fueled by overthinking, as we struggle to seize opportunities. Time seems to slip away, and we find ourselves blaming others, even though deep down, we know the responsibility lies with us. At the heart of these regrets is fear—fear of discomfort, fear of failure, and fear of losing what we've built. "Regrets linger, fueled by overthinking; it’s fear that confines us." Consider the story of a determined teacher who sought to expand his circle of disciples. When he reached out for new followers, he encountered various excuses: one disciple needed to bury his father, another had just married, and a third wanted to test a new tool. Each one let fear and hesitation limit their potential. Yet, the disciples who accepted the call went on to achieve remarkable feats, their legacies remembered through the ages. The ones who hesitated? T...
