NOW THAT AM 30, WHAT NEXT?

I have always dreamt when I was a child that I was going to be exceedingly wealthy and great. I had told myself that at the age of 30 years, I would have built a house, own numerous cars, and be a powerful individual to reckon with in this country.
Moreover, as I was growing older, I began to realize that so many people do have that wishful thinking when they were young and very few of them are able to achieve it.

Now am much older, yet the purpose of why I am in this life still remain unclear.
Why did my parent conceive and give birth to? Why am I yet to achieve my childhood dreams? Who am I? Why am I in this planet earth? Where am I going? What is going to be said of me when I die? What is my purpose of life? What are my visions? What is my destiny?

The more I ask myself these pertinent questions, the broader it becomes. Why are humans born? Why do we all grow and then we die? Why do we strive for success?
However, I could not provide a definite answer for all these questions until, when an event happened in my life, which will continue to shape my destiny for the best. It was a beautiful Sunday morning; the date was the 15th of March, precisely a week to my 30th birthday.

While listening to Dr. Jun Escosar http://junescosar.multiply.com , one of the director of Every Nation Ministry, it dawned on me. I was born for a cause. To serve God with all my heart, so that when I die, it can be said that during my generation I lived totally for God. And now that I am alive, I have to be of great influence to the whole world, to make a positive impact in this great nation of ours called Nigeria, and to be a source of joy and happiness to my family.

I pondered a little while again, and asked myself; how am I going to achieve all these. Bam! Like dynamite, it exploded. To set my life apart for God 100%, not giving him 99%, to give the best of all that is within my reach, be the best in what am doing, to be totally committed and responsible for every of my actions and deeds by bearing my own cross, not looking unto one godfather for an easy way out, to seek godly counsel where I maybe bewildered.

Now that am 30 years of age, I know for sure that God has a perfect and an expected end for me, a glorious future, because His thought and purpose for my life I cannot fathom, His wish for me is to be the head, and a blessings to nations and kingdoms, for He has deposited numerous gifts in me. And as He begins to unveil them, my greatest wish as I take up my cross is that He will release abundant grace upon me unto good works, and that he will continue to strengthen me and empower me, and most especially he will miraculously help me to get to the peak.

The sky is not my limit; it is just the beginning for me.

So I wish myself, happy birthday not because am selfish or self centered, but because it is the greatest wish anyone can wish for himself.

Happy birthday to all my birthday mate in the whole world, Nelson Timi my brother, Jibola Akntara, Melody Mba. May the good LORD continue to keep us and guide our footsteps and heart.
