WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE
BE BOLD IN EXPRESSING YOURSELF
Pst (Mrs) Helen Odogba
Who is as the wise man? And who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed (Eccl 8.1)
Lack of boldness is what cowards are made of, from the scripture above, it is obvious that boldness is the material you need to enlighten and execute your plans. You must not let your circumstances pull you down. The first commandment Joshua received on assumption of office was to be bold. Why? Because it takes boldness to lead. Without boldness you can’t execute your lofty ideas. It is that rare stuff that keeps you away from intimidation. You need the lion’s heart to take the lion share. Confrontation is not a crime, what is criminal is running away from responsibilities. Don’t allow fear to eat up your vision. You have all it takes to succeed in life. The machineries of Heaven are at your disposal. Faith is incapacitated by the absence of courage. It takes boldness and courage to express your faith, vision and goals. Winning is a mentality that only courageous minds breed. Walter Scott puts it better: “It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty”.
Also, “There is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure” (Winston Churchill)
The road to victory is crowded with battles. Those that dread confrontations can never taste victory. If you are looking for peace, prepare for war! Some battles are both inevitable and expedient. The crown of greatness cannot be worn by the heads of cowards.
You must have a goal in life. A purposeless life is an accident of creation. Purpose is what drives life on. You must fight to enthrone your dreams. This calls for self confidence because you will be the one to initiate the journey to your fulfillment. If you choose to stay dormant God will have no responsibility to support you. Heaven, they say, helps those who help themselves.
Ignore the opposition and keep pushing, obstacles are those negative things you see when you turn your eyes away from the course of purpose. Joseph, David and Daniel all had their dreams fulfilled because they were resilient, persevering and determined. With the same stuff, you too can climb up the ladder of success even in the presence of the fiercest demon. Victory is sweet.
