Greatest Starts With A Burden

How true is this someone might want to debate, but I've come to believe it's so true and I'll try to table my points, also chip in some history especially biblical facts, moreover today being Sunday seems like a nice time to open the bible 😂, as well as talk about a few other history we can remember, let's see how this go. So in this magical world, we all are magical in our ways but among this numerous billions of magicians, there are still some selected few whom everyone respects as greater magicians, everyone is good but this individuals have proven to be great.

Look around and handpick a few great men and let them say to us their journey thus far, maybe if this was a zoom meeting or a YouTube channel we could have found a way to play a biography so we all can see. We must agree that no one just wakes up great, there have been a rigorous task offscreen that not everyone knows about, also for the few to whom you would think was clearly luck, was never luck because they had either done somethings secretly or spiritually that accord them that position, or it was s reap for something someone else has done and they are only enjoying it unknowingly.

So having established the fact that no one wakes up grace then we know it took journey, to every journey there's a destination and a task therein, many can start confused but as long as you aren't running with a vision or bearing then the journey hasn't really started, the journey starts when you finally start heading for the proposed location. And for you to get the journey to life and believe so much in it that it makes you great then it has got to have a task, a task that appeals to your spirit body and soul, it eats so deep that its becomes worth dying for, and I mean it when I say it becomes worth dying for, other people call it passion, I call it burden, I feel burden explains it better.

A burden is a burning desire, a burning desire to do something and effect a change, in fact over the years changes have been know to be created via burdens, all inventors over time would never have been successful in their quest if their experiments were just based on fun and jokes, Thomas Edison should never have tried 999 times if all he was doing was to mere joking around, although the quest for getting a light bulb has been on for long, such number of try and repeated trying can only buttress one point, an undying passion and believe that's something is here, and he has got to discover it.

Let's remember greatness like the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther king jr, to mention a few, you'll see clearly fighters, people who were not afraid to stand up and do the needful, even when the odds were against them, they had a tough time buy the zeal for what they wanted to do was strong on them. It's a burden, it doesn't need to be enforced, it builds it's own convictions inside of us and its what gets us movie against all odds, the greater we can keep pushing on this burden the greater we get announced, because the world is filled with people who back out easily, yet celebrate the people who stayed.

Yeah remember I said we were going to open the bible to see more points to this claim that a burden is a fuel to greatness. Take the greatest man ever for an example, at age 12 the bible recorded that he was missing only to be found at the temple teaching and discussing with the teachers and scholars of the temple, his burden to share the knowledge of God was so much in him, he knew the people were yet to know God clearer and in a more compassionate dimension, so he kept pushing and expressing God as love, against all odds, even till death the passion for his mission consumed him, not my will but your will he said, the burden was greater than his love for self.

How about King David who had the burning desire to protect what has been given to him, its was so normal for a shepherd to protect his sheeps but not when a lion or a bear is involved, this animals can kill both the shepherd and the sheep so its best to protect oneself first, however David was so zealous for his task that he fought and he won, same zeal got him to stand against injustice in Israel as he defeated Goliath, all thjs showing his true nature as fit for a leadership position and God was ready to hand over the kingdom of Israel to him, which ofcourse he ruled better, as he zeal now coupled with the anointing of God, all working together to making the kingdom the greatest.

A million examples really exist as it is clear that burdens often lead us to the right path of destiny, some people have the burden to stop injustice as the great Nelson Mandela did and got south Africa their freedom, the great Abraham Lincoln as he stopped the slave trade, many others have a burden to see young lives transformed and so they build schools, they make workshops for technical learning to equip people, some have the burden to teach people the goodnews as they preach all around drawing people to Jesus Christ, others have burden to sing and when they do the world celebrates them. What's your burden, build on it and try to effect a change to your world.

We are all great, and greatness lies within, let's go get it as we explore our passion and work it out till it becomes our identity. Thank you all who have taken time out to read, I appreciate your time, one love.
