MARKS OF GREATNESS

Greatness is a personal ambition that all humanity seeks to achieve. Great men leave a legacy, so great when they are dead than when they were alive.

Famous people work hard to remain relevant; being famous doesn’t guarantee that you are great. Fame is subjective; you may be famous as long as you are relevant or famous because you are too irrelevant to be ignored.

Fiction heroes are famous not great. Great is the personality in you waiting to explode and show the world that MT. Everest is a miniature. Being great does not mean you don’t have weakness; it’s just operating by grace. Remember if you do it, it’s you doing it, if you can’t then God is doing it. Grace is always sufficient to make your greatness bigger than fame. 

Greatness is a perception; it’s sneering at the world when it shouts you can’t and counting on God till you do. When you set your mind to be great, ‘world greatest’ is an understatement. You will be a ‘lifetime greatest.’

Steps to greatness

Great men submit- submission is not a sign of fear or weakness, it is excepting authority. Working under authority sharpens experience and moulds one as a great leader. 

If your authority subjects you to hard situation, go through them with gratitude, remember blessed are those who go through for they shall be through. You only handle some situations better is you have been there.

Great men are sensitive-Always be sensitive and trust in God. Remember the...

 story of Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego. They would not bow down to evil. They stood by their faith even when they weren’t sure they would survive the fire.

When you are in that fire God will always come to your need. It’s not always about numbers, (how many times) it’s about your needs and God knows all of them.

Great men are separated- nothing in life, no situation is permanent. There are things in our lives that need to go for us to clinch our blessings. Those friend need to be separated from you for your progress to be remarkable.  It is better for you to let go something’s and move to the next level or stick to them and stagnate forever. 

For Abraham to be the father of all nations he had to move away from hiss people and go where god directed him to. For you to be saved you had to let go all your former traits and follow Christ.

Great men sacrifice- nothing just happens. For you to be great, certain things to be accomplished, one must sacrifice. Sacrifice your time, resources and seek the lord you will be en-route to greatness.
