Happy new year 2019, AND Happy raining season!!! 🌧
To the glory of God, this month's series on "Being Not NORMal" kicks off today! 😊
But, before we discuss further, we need to take a quick look at some Bible heroes and historic achievers who defied the routine boring lifestyle of being normal (being like everybody), and chose to stand out; and in turn made great impacts in their lifetime.
These are - Our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Father Abraham, Noah, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Stephen, Rahab, Elijah, Samuel -- Daniel, Meshack, Shedrack, Abednego, Joshua, Nehemiah, Esther, Paul, Jacob, Zaccheus, Prophet Nathan, Mary Madgalene, The boy with 5 loaves & 2 fish, Joseph the Arimathea, John The Baptist.
Fela Kuti, Nelson Mandela, Deji Adeleke, Gani Fawehinmi, Mother Theresa, Jerry Rawlings, Mary Slessor, Wright brothers, Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King, Bob Marley and Ben Carson, just to mention a few!
Pondering on the mindset, belief system, lifestyle and attainments of these guys -- you will see that they possess a common feature - these ones stand to be AUDACIOUS, DAUNTLESS, FEARLESS, BRAVE, HEROIC, GUTSY, DIFFERENT. In today's world, I would say, they were not NORMal!
Are you norm-al? 🤔🤔
Be good. Be real. Be tight. Be wild. But do not live in norms, always!
