If we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.
Ben Carson, M.D.
As human, we tend to attribute our success in life to our family background, education, exposure, knowledge, experience, smartness and skills. This may be true, but the fact still remain that there are thousands out there with better education , exposure, knowledge, skill and influence who could not even achieved half of what we have achieved so far.
Our failure to see God as the architect of all that we have accomplished so far could be because of the kind of environment we live in. An environment where evil men thrive. An environment where people that openly declare that there’s no God are the one calling the shot. An environment where mediocrity is rewarded over merit. An environment where evil men seem to live longer. These experiences should not deter you from depending absolutely on God and from attributing your success to Him.
The things we see and experience in the society a time often make us wanted to question God’s faithfulness. We might have seen and know a woman who has committed abortion severally before marriage, who became pregnant on her wedding night. While those who kept themselves pure before marriage had to wait for several months or even years before becoming pregnant. Our God is unquestionable.
To experience the best of God, never see yourself as deserving more of His goodness, mercy and blessings compared to those you considered sinners and undeserving. Our God does as he pleases.
All it takes for you to enjoy the very best of God is for you to acknowledge the fact that you need Him. No matter what you may be passing through presently, God is able to see you through. All you need do is call upon Him. This you must do with all sincerity.
What is it that you’re passing through now? It’s not beyond God. You might have even gone to seek help where help could not be found in the past. All God requires from you is just for you to look up to Him in your present predicament. Just put in your best possible effort as human and then wait patiently for God’s divine intervention.
This should be your attitude in all the difficult situations that is confronting your career, business, family and marriage. Are you a Surgeon handling a dicey surgical operation? Involve God. Are you a parent with impossible children? Call on God for help. Are you a businessman in confusion? Ask God for wisdom.
If you can involve God in all your impossible situations, He’ll surely help you out.

YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
‘Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world’.
Joel Barker.
Those who change the world, in sciences, medicine, engineering, politics and business are mere mortal like you and I. They never posses any super intelligent or computer brain. All they had was vision back by action.
You too can change the world with your good vision and actions. Do you have a vision of how to make this world a better place? Put it into action. Many people with noble ideas often die with their wonderful ideas and visions due to failure to put them into action.
Look around you today. What can you see? Computers on tables, palms and laps. Internet connectivity. Electronics in cars, homes and offices. Cars on our roads. Airplanes in the sky. Sophisticated Ship at sea and Ocean. Sophisticated medical equipment in our hospitals. Spacecrafts on journey to the space. Electricity in our homes, offices and factories. All these things are products of people’s vision plus action. You too can change the world.
Thomas Edison changes the world through many inventions including electric bulbs. Ted Turner changes the world through uninterrupted 24 hour TV broadcasting. William H Gates changes the way we use computers through excellent software packages. Henry Ford pioneers the idea of mass-producing motorized cars so cheaply that the average person could purchase one. His neighbors considered him as a daydreaming mechanic with worthless contraptions. With vision and action he realised his dream by forming Henry Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford, Ted Turner, William H. Gates and Thomas Edison were not super human. They only put their vision to action. You too can make history by putting your vision to work.
Pastor E. A. Adeboye of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, changes the face of evangelism with a vision of having a member of his Church in all families of the world. He is working on making this vision a reality by establishing a parish of his church within five minutes walking distance in developing countries and five minutes driving distance in developed countries. Do you have vision? What are you doing about it? Get a vision and put it to work.
God created all humans as solution providers. God never created a man to be useless. No matter your level of intelligence, gift and resources, there is a vacuum you were created to fill in order to make this world a better place. You can add value in your place of work, environment, school, church and in whatever you do. All it takes to make any meaningful impact is vision and action.
The vision you have is useless without action. Vision without action equals day dreaming. The actions you are taken without a clear cut vision will lead to frustration. Action without vision is passing time. All you need to change your life, society, family, environment and the world is action, action and action. Go and change the world!
