No Excuses, No Exceptions

What has been holding you back from achieving global success? It is not your background, nationality, race, color, or level of education. It is not because you did not finish school. It is definitely not because you had kids early or out of wedlock. It is not about your job or if your boss dislikes you. Wish you had more friends and better connections? We all do, but that is not why you are seeing less success. It is not because you are in the wrong country or were born into the wrong family. Honestly, there is no such thing as a wrong country or wrong family. It is not because you are cursed or did something unforgivable in the past—good news is, God forgives everyone who seeks forgiveness. It is not because you didn't take that Bible course you've always wanted to but never found the time for. Get it? There is no reason not to live life to the fullest.

As a collective church, the limited global impact is not simply due to a lack of knowledge about God. While there remains much to understand about the depths of God, it can be argued that the last century witnessed significant growth and an increase in the knowledge of God and His Kingdom. This advancement has been facilitated through the ministry and influence of various distinguished men and women of God across different denominations, including Smith Wigglesworth, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Billy Graham, and David Oyedepo, among others. However, our growth in biblical knowledge is not commensurate to our growth in the globality and scalability of impactful results.

While we have observed some progress, it is not at the level we should aspire to as Christians. It raises the question of whether our results are truly distinguishable from those outside our faith community. At the very least, there should be much more millionaires and billionaires (using finances/monetary as one measure) per capita within the body of Christ than outside of it. The Christian community should exemplify global excellence in areas such as marriage, arts, acting, finance, business and more. It is time for us to take charge and take absolute ownership of our lives and destiny and bring the church of Christ to global prominence.
