ARE YOU A TAMED GIANT?
ARE YOU A TAMED GIANT?
I just read somewhere how some Asian communities tame their elephants for the circus. They will just take a baby elephant; put a huge chain around its rear leg and then chain it on a pole and it is like that for years. From that time the baby elephant will struggle to free itself to no success. After long periods of struggle and distress the elephant gives up and does not struggle to free itself because it realizes it will never free itself and gains the belief that it was meant to be there.
After some years the owners will just replace the chain with a simple rope and the elephant will always be under their control since it already quit trying to free itself. When the owners take the elephants to the circus all they do is put a rope on the rear leg of the elephant and it will think it is chained and will never be able to set itself free. Put a rope on its leg it will not move an inch.
This is the same to our lives. Some of us were tamed while we were young. There are some things that have limited you since your childhood; maybe a teacher said that you’ll never make it, maybe your friends thought you did not look good, maybe you parent told you that nothing much would come out for you, or maybe someone said some unpleasant things to you in your childhood. I
I do not know what was said to you but I can tell you that that was the devil trying to tame you by making you believe negative things about yourself. What they said about you is not true, what God said about you is true. The devil says you will not make it, and God says you are created in His image and you will make it! Who do you choose to believe? Do not be tamed, you were not born for the circus; you were born for the jungle. You are a potential giant and this is the time you unleash who you really are-Great!
A Louse can jump so high but when scientists put it in a small bottle, it will jump and hit the walls for some time and then stop jumping all together. When they open the bottle lead the louse will still remain in the bottle since it got to believe it was destined to be confined in a bottle.
What bottle or box are you confined in? Do not quit jumping, keep trying and you will be free soon. The devil wants you to quit trying. Jump out of the box, the lead was removed a long time ago, the devil made you believe that you were confined but you are free. Go get your dreams into reality, be all you have wanted to be and disapprove all the negativities.
Maybe you are tamed by where you come from; maybe you are from ‘a slum, a poor background, or a disadvantaging background. The devil knew you were great before you were born and that’s why he’s trying to limit you by having a poor background. But again God had a plan for who are to be an no matter what the devil puts against you, you will overcome. Do not be limited by where you are from, it not where you come from but where you are going that is important. Do not be tamed by the devil, God has great plans for you and it is up to you to work and realize God’s plan for you. You can never be limited….Break loose.

MANN UP!! Vol 3
MANN UP!! (Maturity)
I was walking a street and someone says with bitterness in her voice..."Grow up! How can you do such a thing?!" I had turn to see what was going on since the lady seemed to be very irritated. When I turned, I could not see any child or teenager, it was an older man, probably in his late thirties!! Then it got me thinking, growing up is not necessarily how much age you accumulate....!
Are you starting something or changing something positively in your life, like starting a business? well I have some manly advice for you..."If you're going to start, don't stop!!" "And if you're going to stop, don't start!" Men have ultimate responsibility for their decisions, and if you will achieve anything anything as a full man(or woman) then it is time you face the consequences of your decisions and actions whether positive or negative. The essence of maturity is the acceptance of responsibility. And maturity is the essence of manhood.
The popular notion is that maturity comes with age. Not true. You get old with age. Maturity comes by acceptance of responsibility- in every area of life. Acceptance of responsibility for failures is that substance on which success rests. No one can be responsible for success unless he is willing to accept responsibility for failure as well. This is true in business, marriage and all of life.
No one should be ever be surprised by the latest statistics on runaway children/street children. They are`sad, but they should not shock us! Runaway children are only mimicking what they have learn t from their runaway parents- most of them fathers! In Africa, thousands of women live alone with their children because their husbands ran away from home.
Those thousands of African(and worldwide) men could not, would not, or did not choose to accept the responsibility of being a husband and father.
Divorce was not good. Today, it's fashion! Still this is usually just a cover-up for the evasion of responsibility!
Some men will move around from woman to woman, place to place. The ability to procreate is not necessarily the evidence of manhood. In truth these are childlike/childish men, immature in spirit, infantile in understanding, living on a thin surface of life, rootless, without depth, without character!
Some men are mature at seventeen. Others are immature at seventy! Where do you belong as a man (or woman)?
Remember, being a man is an opportunity to serve, and note: I said being a man and not being male!
Mann Up!

I urge all the men and the women who miss real men who used to be to follow through patiently to the fourth part of this amazing article that will hopefully open our eyes as men as to what we might be missing out or leaving out in our leadership!)
