Just Do It
Let me share a little experience and a powerful message.
Just after I received my fee structure from my university for my PhD, totalling N850,000 in 2016, I met my dad at the bank in Umuahia.
I explained to him that I had the admission letter, and he smiled.
I told him, however, "Baba, there is a problem. They need N850,000."
He held my hands and then slowly but reassuringly said, "Just begin, my son."
To ensure his point went home, he got into his account and gave me N14,000 from an account that had N20,000.
I was touched.
I added N16,000 and paid N30,000 into the account, and my journey to a PhD began.
Today, having reached the dream, I remember the words of my father.
Just begin...
In everything you do, always remember: JUST BEGIN.
Just begin, no matter how difficult it seems to be.
It appeared to be difficult, but as time elapsed, I realised Dad was right.
At some point before my defence, I gave up.
I still had a solid N300,000 to pay, and they wouldn't give me a chance for my final defence.
Then came very unlikely help.
I had supported a gentleman to undertake a project evaluation two times in the year.
I received his call, cautiously asking me to meet him.
He was carrying a brown envelope in his hand.
He began, "Awa, you will forgive me if you find my action inappropriate. For two consecutive times you have given me a job without asking for a cent. This is very unusual with many people. I did not know how to approach you, but I am steeped in gratitude. Please accept my small gift."
I quickly peered into the envelope and saw there were two bundles, likely in hundreds.
He confirmed that it was N200,000.
I couldn't believe it.
The words of my father,
"My son, just begin" came to mind.
Don't worry how it will end.
Just begin.
If you are building a house, just begin.
If you are planning to buy land, just begin.
If you want to continue with your education, just begin.
If you want to pay a dowry, just begin.
Nothing is more powerful than that advice.
We just need to have faith and begin.
And I have revised this philosophy.
Whenever someone is doing something, I always encourage them to have faith and just keep trying.
When things get thick, I always say, Keep walking.
No matter how slow Just keep moving.
If You Can't Walk, Then Crawl
Just Keep Moving.
When things are intimidating, ignore them.
Persist and keep trying.
Don't give up on life just because your challenges appear to be insurmountable.
Do not be defeated before you begin.
Whatever looks like a mountain will soon become an anthill...
but only if you begin.
Not long ago, someone asked me, "Awa, are we going to manage to build the office we want?"
My answer,
"Let's just begin."
I believe in the power of faith and action (starting).
No one wins a race until they respond to the sound of the gun and begin.
The secret lies in beginning.
Over time, God has seen me through a number of projects because of this philosophy.
I have parcels of land that I acquired by simply paying N50,000...and, over time, these have multiplied.
I persuade you this day never to allow yourself to be threatened by the size of your problems.
The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts with One Step
Begin in a small way to do something about it.
How Do You Eat an Elephant?
By Eating It One Bit at a Time
If it is lack of money, do something small to get something for yourself.
If it is a marital issue, look for a way to solve it.
In whatsoever you face, just begin.
Even those with big debts can do something about it.
Just begin by doing something little, and it will shrink each day.
I was not a millionaire, but sometime ago, I wanted to have a feeling of being one.
I drew up a plan of how to hold a million in my account, at least for a few days.
After some months of beginning, I discovered it was possible.
Three and a half years of savings later, I got my first ever million.
Even though I used it later on investments and expenses, it felt so good.
Let's all have faith and just begin.
JUST BEGIN!
Why We Must Intercede For Us Now:
I woke up in the early hours of this morning, Sunday, 07-06-2020, and at one point I started browsing global events, and below are some of my findings:
Iran's spiritual and political leader rejoicing that finally, Allah, the god of Muslims, has started judging the US and Donald Trump.
The presidents of Turkey, China and Iran in a meeting rejoicing and mobilising resources to remove Trump from the White House
Protesters vandalising churches and Jewish synagogues but no mosques touched
All Islamic terrorist organisations are rejoicing and encouraging Muslims in America to make sure that the protest is heated up and Trump is removed.
Occultists and Satanists joining in the protest against the killing of the Black man
The Democrats' presidential aspirant is going to black churches and campaigning for votes.
Who are the ones fuelling these protests?
What are their aims and objectives?
I think the man Donald Trump has stepped on so many toes.
Whose are these toes?
The Muslims who are bent on turning the entire world into a caliphate. They sponsored Hillary Clinton with billions of dollars, but she failed. Now their satanic spell is working.
Occult people or Satanists all over the world. Before Donald Trump came to power. 60 million drops of blood of babies have been donated to Satan only in the US through abortion. The killing or burning of children or infants is the greatest or highest act of worship of Baal and Ashteroth, otherwise called Beelzebul, the chief of devils, that is, Satan. Luke 11:15.
Bill Gates and the pharmaceutical industries that create diseases and produce vaccines to make billions of dollars and achieve other hidden agendas
China, the communist dragon worshipper who wants to recolonise the world and destroy the church, is the second largest worshipper of the dragon in the world. Donald Trump has been crumbling their plans since he came to power.
All other enemies of the gospels who wanted to take the Bible away from the White House and the US before Donald Trump came to power
Selfish politicians and businessmen who do anything to make money
I can go on, but let me stop the list here.
The political battle in the US is between an agent of the devil and an ambassador of Christ. Between light and darkness.
Between Christ and Belial.
Between occult men and children of the Most High God.
But unfortunately, the Children of God have been bewitched, just as Bro Paul lamented in Galatians 3. We are failing to read the handwriting on the wall. Everything about the killing of the Black man and the protests the US is witnessing is as planned from the occult kingdom.
Everything you see happening in the US now is a satanic arrow and spell. We must rise and pray for President Trump if we are still on the side of Jehovah.
Call your friends in the US or forward this message to them. What is going on is an occultic arrow.
Please, beloved in Christ, let us intercede for the US and Donald Trump.
Ask yourself one question.
Who are the people that will truly rejoice if Donald Trump loses the election in the long run?
Let us watch and pray. Ephesians 6:10-18
The US has great influence and impact on Christianity all over the world. Most European nations are on a fast lane to Islam, but the headache of the Muslims is the US and this president, Donald Trump. Another tenure in office will cost them a 50 to 70-year setback, so they are out.
"We must not be ignorant of the devices of the devil lest Satan have an advantage of us" (2 Cor. 2:11).
Shalom, Maranatha!
