Are you the black sheep in your family, a nobody, the good
for nothing one, someone everyone one has written off?
I have a secret to
expose to you, you are probably the one God is waiting for in the house as
Samuel waited for David when He was sent to the House of Jesse to anoint him.
God sees things deep within you that others can’t see.
You may be making
efforts to be like others all these years, you do not need that, just be you
and get connected to your Creator and He will direct your path and expose
to you what you are made of and are made to be.
God has this to say to you "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5.
You see, it is no deception. You are created for a purpose and it is for no other than to be the best in your area of calling. Discovering it is the challenge for many, if you are like that, do not worry. This is your turning point, be
challenged and rise up to the challenge. This year is your year!!!
Stay with me
on this site and let us unravel your hidden treasures together and begin to
excel without further stress or struggles.
Let's read the story of this great man of our time William Wilberforce, his story may be different from yours but the point I want to raise from his story is that like you, he was on a journey in his life until he discovered God and realised that the opportunities he was given in life was for an appointed time and an appointed purpose (TO ABOLISH SLAVE TRADE). By this, I want you to know that your last achievement or last disappointment is not all there is to you. Read the story and be inspired.
William Wilberforce (24 August 1759 – 29 July 1833) was an English politician, philanthropist, and a leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, eventually becoming the independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire (1784–1812). In 1785, he underwent a conversion experience and became an evangelical Christian, which resulted in major changes to his lifestyle and a lifelong concern for reform.
In 1787, he came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti-slave-trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty-six years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
Wilberforce was convinced of the importance of religion, morality and education. He championed causes and campaigns such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice, British missionary work in India, the creation of a free colony in Sierra Leone, the foundation of the Church Mission Society, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. His underlying conservatism led him to support politically and socially repressive legislation, and resulted in criticism that he was ignoring injustices at home while campaigning for the enslaved abroad.
In later years, Wilberforce supported the campaign for the complete abolition of slavery, and continued his involvement after 1826, when he resigned from Parliament because of his failing health. That campaign led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire; Wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the Act through Parliament was assured. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to his friend William Pitt.
