WHO AM I

As the bell alarm went off, Jonny got up from his bed knowing well that it was 6:00am. All the while, he had not been sleeping. He was stultified but couldn’t help thinking about what he had done some hours ago before the previous night. Had he had this potent all along without manifesting it, how on earth could he do a stuff like that, who really was he; these and other question were running through his mind but he had no answer for them as he was stunned. He was still debating over these when a loud voice made him got a hold of himself, it was as if an arrow had pierced his heart but got relieved when the voice came again. It was his mum signifying him that it was time for morning devotion.


Jonny did something that he didn’t know he could do. Just some years back, he was the dullard both in school and in the neighborhood but here he was being congratulated by his family for emerging as the best overall student in school. For him, it was a red-letter day. Jonny was not good at school but he licked into shape. He could remembered when his name was announced, he could not believed his ears, “was it my hearing or had the committee made a mistake”, he murmured to himself. The crowds were not left out in the astonishment for they couldn’t believe what they just heard. As he made his way to collect the award, he couldn’t help but cried as tears of joy rolled down his cheek. It was now clear that he was the best student. He was not sure if had done it but the truth is he had it in him.


Following the mis-conception that has eaten deep in the minds of people, most youths have forgotten who they are and what they are made of. They tend to forget that the conquering of the earth has assigned to them by God. Just as Jonny was, most youths today are still dullards in some areas of life without knowing that they can do more than they have always been doing, for Anthony Robbins observed that, “what lies before us, behind us and around us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us”. As John Mason made it obvious that one of the most neglected areas in many lives is the area of the gift that God has placed within them. Many of us- the youths- have forgotten who they really are which leads frequently to this same question as Jonny. WHO AM I?


Man’s body was estimated to about 2 trillion dollars. This estimation was made on just the body; the soul was not included nor was the potent that was within. It was just the mere flesh and possibly the organs in the body that would all decay someday. This report states explicitly that man is precious, beyond price, he is priceless. One most important thing you must know is that you are more than a computer because computers has everything that a programmer installs but it can’t operate on its own but you, you have been installed with all the program to do something great and yet given the freedom to operate yourself.


Myles Munroe would answer, “You are not a cheese but an image of God”. Do you know what magnificent power you wield as you are reading this article, you are unstoppable. Know it my friend, you are a light to many and your existence is a blessing as people’s successes are attached to yours. You have the ability of becoming a writer, an artist, a scientist, musicians, minister, you have it in you, of going into any business you wish studying any professional course, you can become great in anything you are doing whether it’s small or big, obsolete or new because you are destined to be great, to be succeeding; that is who you are. The richest place on earth is not the oil ground or the diamond and gold mines or even the grave yard, the richest place is you. You have not been discovered and nobody can, except you. Nobody can place a value on you. You are GREAT. You have been equipped to till, to conquer, to subdue. You were created in God’s image to do great things. That is who you are. Just as Jonny didn’t know, until he was committed to change, his potent were just dormant within him as it is in most youths today who strive to acquire the products of the knowledge of the past without quest to provide with their knowledge, the product for the future.


What lies in you, what dormant powers you posses, your reserve potent are far beyond what you think or can ever imagine. The truth is you have the attributes of your creator; you are like God because he wants you, because he loves you so much that he created you for his glory. He gave you the authority to use it for your benefit and most especially for that of others. He also gave you the manuals {theoretical (bible)} and the {practical (Christ)} to know how he wishes you operate yourself. This means you can do all things regardless of your religion, age, tribe, sex, social status, language because He gave you the mandate to do so.


The absolute truth about your existence is that you came here for a purpose, to make God smile, to make your neighbors smile, to make your country pleased about your contributions. You are here not by mistake of any sort as Peter Gaskin said that, “because many sperm fought before you a zygote that is you emerged, you are not a mistake”. Before you wake, God has already programmed you to do great things and no matter where you find yourself or in what condition you find yourself in, you have people like you who have gone through the same situation and yet succeeded, you can still do something great, you can rewrite the world’s history, you can shake the world by reasons of new things that God can do through your hands (you). You can command the supernatural because that’s who you are, that is what you have in you. There is no limit to your greatness except the one you lay for yourself as John Morley remarked, “no man can climb out beyond the limitation of his own character”.


Unless you refuse to see all odds as Bob Harrison advised, “Between you and any significant thing lies giants on the path”. This generation will miss something if you are comfortable with yourself or with your success, you have to know that, it’s not all you can do, you can do more. Helen Keller observed that, “if you put your face towards sunshine, you will never see shadow”. In your quest to know who really you are, to drill out your potent for the good of mankind and the glory of God, you have to heed Oral Robert advice, “before you bring about a renewal or change, there must be confrontations”. But once you can control your mind, you definitely can control your actions.


You are meant to add to the riches of the earth (living) not the grave yard (dead). You are created to bring smile to earth, to bring smile to God. Regardless of what people say you are, good or bad, prince or commoner, you are not it until you want to be it. You can never be a loser because you aren’t meant to be one but yourself. YOU ARE WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
