YES YOU CAN DO IT !

When I was growing up, as a child, I used to wonder how some people were able to do certain things with ease. This was amazing to me.

I could not , for example, understand how some people were able to climb up a tall tree with great ease.

A lot us are capable of doing things we never thought of doing sometime back.

Before attending school, letters and numbers never meant anything to us. Once one is educated and trained in a certain profession, he or she able to do a lot of tasks which can only be done by those trained in that particular field.

Any individual is able to do anything as long as he or she has a passion for it.

I have always been interested in finding out how equipment worked from my early life. It is therefore not a wonder that I eventually became an engineer.

One's capacity to do anything is not restricted by any physical limitations.

Mental barriers are always playing the major role in what one achieves in life.

One chooses what he becomes in life.

Some people choose to be rich right from the beginning of their lives. In a similar vein, poverty is not an inborn situation, it is "acquired".

Circumstances always play a part in what situation someone finds himself in. It is the way one responds to the situation that determines one's destiny.

In the 1980s, it was unthinkable in Zambia for anyone to buy bottled water for drinking. With the advent of Cholera in the country that killed hundreds of people, mineral water became a must for all travellers and in most homes.

Drinking of tap water was a common practice before the Cholera epidemics. Most homes now drink only boiled water or mineral water.

The adage that says "necessity is the mother of invention" is true for getting out of most situations we find ourselves in.

"Difficulty situations are sent to reveal to us what God can do in answer to the faith that prays and works. Are you straitened in the valleys?

Get away to the hills, live there; get that honey out of the rock, and the wealth out of the terraced slopes now hidden by forest " -- Daily Devotional Commentary.

"Got rivers they say are uncrossable, Got any mountains they say 'can't tunnel through' ?
We specialise in the wholly impossible. Doing the things they say you can't do."--Song of the Panama Canal builders.

The Bible says:

"I am able to do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13).

Do not be afraid to show off what you are capable of doing. It is your birthright to do what you are good at.

Always remember this "Yes you can do it!"

As Mark Alofokhai puts it : "
Is it showing off when you do the extraordinary things you are capable of doing?... Is a bird showing off when it flies ? ".

Of course not!

Decide today to start a business that you have always been dreaming about.

Stay blessed and remain in the Lord's favour. Amen !
