You Have What it Takes

There is joy in achieving your dreams. A satisfaction comes when you know you are walking in your purpose and doing all that God has called you to do. We all have dreams we want accomplished but most times its taking that first step that's our challenge. The fear of the unknown holds us back.A wise friend once said to me 'It is the steps of a righteous man that the Lord orders, not the intentions or the thoughts'. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and He delights in his way. 

You might say but I don't have what it takes, I don't have the right connections. I don't have the full package, I don't even possess the necessary skills or characteristics. 

Philippians 3:13 says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'. My favorite version of the bible 'The Message puts it this way 'Whatever I have, Wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am' Wow! Such profound words. You can make it through anything in the One(Jesus) who has made you what you are.

So permit me to tell you! You have what it takes to achieve your dreams, You have what it takes to discover your purpose and walk in it. You have what it takes to be who God has called you to be.


Never allow anyone or anything belittle you. Not even yourself. See yourself through the eyes of God, see yourself the way God sees you. Start taking steps towards achieving that dream. 

So you want to be a designer? Take that first step. You want to start a nursery school/daycare? Start from where you are. You want to be a writer or a singer? Pick up your pen, start writing or your computer, start typing. Sing the songs in your heart to your phones. Thank God for technology. What is that thing you are passionate about? Just take that first step of faith and see God order your steps. 

Truth is that if you do not work towards achieving your dreams, God will raise someone else to do same. Haven't you noticed that certain desires you have had in your heart but have not done anything about them, you see or hear someone else doing the exact same thing?

I have been inspired and challenged by certain people who have taken that first step and are excelling. I too have taken that first step so I just wanted to encourage you to do same.

You can do all things through Christ. You can make it, You have what it takes.

Its me again lol
