Is This The Truth Or A Lie?

There was a Man who graduated the last few in his cohort in the military school. He is a small-sized short man. In your opinion, how far can such a person go in his career? An Officer Major at the most?

How about this other man who once was forced out of the military because he could very well faced court martial if he stays on. This man went on to worked and failed at being a businessman and his wages as an employee in a company could not feed his entire family. Do you see any chance of letting someone like that be a leader in any organisation?

What about this Young Preacher, who started his career as a pastor and preached a 10 min sermon to the elders and leaders of his church. The comments he received from his seniors were meant to help him find a place for effective ministry. They put across very nicely that he was definitely not made to preach as a career.

These 3 men did not have what it takes in their life, whether in terms of height, built, status as in the first man, luck, favor and character as in the case of the second man and eloquence, quality of presentation and skills to teach as in the case of the third.

Is it true that they could not amount to anything great in their lives because of all these truths and facts about them.

Because of their limitations, is it not difficult for any logical, reasonable person to conclude that it is best for them to retire contented with being who they are with what they have?

Is this the truth? Or a Lie?

The first man became the greatest emperor of all time, conqueriing almost all of Europe and the known world at that time. Having 70 million people under his rule. He was hailed as the most well-known man today in the history of Europe behind Jesus Christ. A military genius and a very infamous person on the face of the earth. His name : Napolean Buonaparte.

The second became one of Americas's youngest president and a great leader of all time. A great General and a champion strategist, Ulysses S.Grant led the Unionist to victory over the Conferderates.

The third man went on to become one of the greatest evangelist of our time, preaching to millions of people and seeing God touching the lives of countless individuals all over the world. He was also advisor to a few of the American Presidents in his course of duty.
This man , Billy Graham, is the man that people know to be the man that God used as his appointed evangelist to the nations.

My friends, the lie is that they will not amount to anything, the truth is that they did.

Jeremiah 29:11
"I know that plans i have for you says the Lord, plans to prospoer you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."

The Lord loves all of us and sees as as somebody when the people around us sees us a nobody. Dont believe what others say about you or what you think about yourself as a nobody.

Let's set our eyes on the Lord and believe, that we are meant in God's will to succeed and to be a person of great influence and use for God's Kingdom.

Praise the Lord!
