REDISCOVERING YOUR OWN VOICE
This piece of article is dedicated to all ladies out there,
to pastor Eb Ekwuagana for being the utmost instrument of my inspiration and
most especially, to my bestie, the HOLYSPIRIT.
Whenever I look at the above topic, I smile and cry at the
same time. Not everyone will understand but I hope that the few who do will
make good use of the lessons they learnt from it.
Hey ladies, if u don’t learn from the experience of others,
your own experience will be your doom.
I can still remember the first time I listened to pastor Eb
speak, I knew that was the beginning of me. I used to be a girl with a very
loud voice, full of pride and no impact, but that very day, after I sat under
the influence of the voice of this great woman, my life took a new and better
turn.
One question; Do you have a voice? Some ladies out there
don’t even know if they have a voice but I put it to you that each and everyone
of us was created with a purpose and our purpose is our voice. Look, am not a
feminist, am just a purpose driven lady who aspires not just my greatness but
the greatness of all ladies because if we (the ladies) make it, we don’t only
encourage the strong men, we challenge the weak ones to become better.
Don’t ever think its too late for you to turn around and
discover your voice, your true purpose. And do you know why it is called ‘your
own’ purpose, it is because you are meant to discover it alone. Snap out of
that dream of getting married to the best man on earth even without certs, wake
up from thinking that because your background is financially equipped, that you
have it all and please don’t think that because you have made and is still
making a great money in whatever thing you do, that you have achieved purpose.
Dear readers, whatever thing it is that you are doing as a
lifetime occupation or assumed purpose, if it does not give God the glory, this
article is for you. You need to rediscover your voice. For instance, a
successful armed robber , kidnapper, stripper or a prostitute cannot claim to
have achieved purpose.
Before I go ahead, I was telling us on how my life took a
new and better turn. After that particular seminar, I broke out of the
relationship that I was into, though it was a painful parting, it was a
sacrifice for a better future and it was worth it. Right now, am so sure that I
am shaking a table that might be too noisy but that was the same table that was
shook by that great woman on that day that placed me on the part of
‘rediscovering my voice’. That bitter truth is what you, the country and the
world at large needs to be placed on the right path. From that day, with the
help of the holy spirit, no day passes without me questioning myself more about
what I should do and searching for hidden potentials within me to maximize. It
wasn’t very fast, and please don’t expect it to be easy because the promise was
not an easy and smooth journey but a safe arrival.
You cannot achieve your purpose without making sacrifices,
you can’t rediscover your voice without shedding off so many treasured habits,
friends and properties. The greater sacrifices you make, the greater your
achievements. Now let me remind you that it takes a great woman and a greater
man to achieve the greatest greatness.
All these starts from you! You must first love and
appreciate yourself, then you can build confidence and believe in the
independent you for now. Surround yourself with people of alike vision, people
who understands the real you and love you for that. Do not expect the best from
your family at the time that you are still building yourself because it is only
you that knows the vision you are working for and the greatness that lies in
future. In fact, expect the worst from your family at that time because, they
are the only people who hold the true weapon of your setback and they must make
good use of it against you so that your success story will be complete. Please,
do love them for that!.
At the time when I broke out of my relationship, so many
people laughed at me, I felt lonely and honestly, I felt stupid. But do you
know one thing that experience taught me, it taught me that an arrow that’s
meant to be shut at a destination must first be drawn back, it taught me that
the people who achieve it more are the people who suffered the greatest pain,
and lastly, it taught me that trapped inside the bowl of your darkest days,
lies your candle and matchstick, and it only takes YOU, the single YOU to
stretch out, search through, light up your life and shine brighter than any other
light you can imagine, and not forgetting to lighten up others around you. That
was exactly what I did to myself…..
Before I continue, I will like to tell us what motivated
this particular article. It was a movie (name withheld for now) and please do subscribe
and follow up for the rest of the story. And always know that no Jesus, no
purpose, no purpose, no voice and no voice, no heaven.
I remain your favorite writer………..DVOICE!! dvoicee.blogspot.com
