THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, 'THE WOMAN', TOPIC: My MOTHER , MY INFLUENCER.

 


MY MOTHER MY INFLUENCER.

WHAT KIND OF MOTHER DO YOU WANT TO BE?

 

           Even before my first tears hits the ground, my mother was there to wipe it away. My mother feels my pains before I can even realize it. She understands my needs before I can even think of them.

 That’s why we call her a mother.

 My mother has been an extraordinary influence in my life and always will, she is the kind of mum who would always take timeout to care for her children not only her biological children, but also her spiritual children, adopted children, friends, families, relatives, love ones and even enemies. She lived sacrificial live, she is so simple and easy going, always smiling even at difficult time, she doesn't give up and she has taught me to be strong, prayerful, reliable as a woman, sister, wife, mother and all that I represent.

 




BE RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE:

"Reliability and responsibility are two quiet virtues that can announce a person and make him or her a generational blessing.”
 
 “She taught me to be a shoulder to lean on for my generation, to be a rescuer to my generation and also a lady of substance, influence, knowledge, filled with wisdom, hardworking, spirit filled, never giving up type, to be a lady that set goals, focus on the goals and never give up”.
She taught me to always be responsible and respectful, she taught and influence me to be a shelter that people can always run to, a hospital for the sick, a hand that feeds nation's, a lady that Is a blessing to her generation.
       Despite what she faced in her husband's house, she never allowed that to stop or disturb her early assignment. She so much love children and they always surround her, even few hours before she died she still went to church and asked the little children to come out and thank God on her behalf for divine healing, I thank God for her life because even at the point of death she still went to church before dying. What a fulfilled life. My mother has always been a very strong role model to me and everyone around her, growing up with someone like her to look up to has changed my life in many ways, she has helped me grow physically, spiritually, intellectually and considerately. She taught me how to love, care and give back to people. She is the one who was there to lean on when I cannot fix my own problems and always taught me to lean on God the more through the study of the word of God, walk with God and always communicate with him. Her advice and words make me, she always knows what to say or when not to say anything and she let me try things myself. Her influence affects the way I lived my life, she never pushed even though she probably wanted to but never let me to give upon something am good at either, without the influence of my mum I would have no morals, I wouldn't know how to maximize my true potentials.
 
“NEVER GIVE UP”

She has always encouraged getting up and trying it a gain no matter how bad I was, she always believed in my dreams. If I want a thing she supports me to get it especially when it’s something that will impact me positively, I could remember while coming to school I was about giving up because my family wasn't financially buoyant as at then, but my mum never let me give up on my dream of becoming graduate, she tried all possible means, she sacrificed a lot of things to watch me and my siblings go to school and succeed in life. She always said to me “what doesn't kill you simply makes you stronger, better and wiser' and that suffering don't last long it's only a matter of time.”

 She is simply the best always, she is a role model indeed.
 
 
RECOMMENDED BOOKS:

I recommend Gifted hand by Ben Carson, it's Ben's true life story which also contains how his mother was a great influence in his life and family. Also I recommend Just as I Am by Billy Graham there he mentioned seven life lessons he learnt from his mother which are:
 
1 Dignity in hard work.
2 A mother's prayers are powerful.
3 Spend time in God's word every day.
4 Start reading at younger age.
5 Marriage is worth fighting for.
6 Even the best parents make mistakes.
7 Finish well.

  MAD MEN   If you want to change the world, you must first change yourself, if you want to move the world, you must first move from the world, if you want your name inscribed in the sand of time, you must maximize every single second that passes. Do you think the future is the ten years you’re yet to see? no! it is every moment that flashes past you.   WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME?   “You can tell how great a man is by what he invests his time into.” Men who will change the world are careful about what they do with their time, they don’t choke themselves with activities, they invest in fruitful activities and endeavors.  “Being busy won’t make you great, it is what you invest your time and life into that will determine how great you are.”   HAVE YOU HEARD OF MIKE ZUCKERBERG?   Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of the world’s biggest social network (Facebook).

Don’t cheat the world of your contribution. Give it what you’ve got.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no ovverseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come on you like a baandit and scarcity like an armed man." (Prov 6:6-11 NIV). The ants are preparing, the birds are building their  nests, the beaver is constructing his dam. All of creation invests in the future, prepares for winter, and delay gratification for the purpose of a better tomorrow. We should follow their lead and begin to set our gaze on tomorrow while maximazing our moments and opportynities today. There is need for you to invest in your life, if you want to be relevant in your generation and generations to come, unless you want to lament! "had I known in your old age." Your goal should not be to be the most beautif...
