WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT

This morning my sleep was interrupted with my heart panting. To me, it was one of those moments when you are pressed, and suddenly, you wake up and have to visit the loo. The difference this time was that I couldn't just go back sleep. As a matter of fact, I felt like something was in my mind and was burning so much that, returning to sleep, would have been tantamount to dereliction of once calling. So, I decided to yield to whatever it was that was perturbing me vigorously on the inside.

So, as I sat and pondered for a few moments, I was subconsciously reminded of my purpose and the magnitude of my dreams. In fact, the need to keep up the pace and momentum were the key prickling factors which got me to such a heightened state, that, I couldn't simply ignore and retire to bed, again.

 Then a question came to mind, I was asked by fear, are your undertakings not bigger than you? Now, that's the enemy speaking, and the God in me had to quickly respond. Get up, son, and do!! I was told. The surprising thing is that, this is not the first time that I had felt this way.

I believe that whatever the Almighty God has called you to do, and placed in those scared hands of yours, he would surely avail you the tools to accomplish them. But, there is a reminder from time to time. You can either rise up to the occasion or snooze and lose it all.  
You see, if you are called to fulfil a specific purpose, and fill a void either physically or spiritual, you must make it a point of duty to keep up. The lie that the enemy within, whatever that may represent to you, would make you believe, is that, you are not worth it and that mission that you have been graciously called to embark on may be too big a shoe for you to fit in. Lie! Lie! Lie! All lies, I said.

If you are reading this, this morning, then you are one of those that your Creator has compelled me to deliver this good news to. And that is, you can accomplish all that you have been assigned to do, NOW. Forget about what that negative voice is saying to try to convince you on the inside. The God who designed you, desires for you to be a GAME-CHANGER, and certainly not a mere functioning part of the assembly line of LIFE.

If anything does not keep you up in the middle of the night, then it is not real and certainly not big enough. Those seemingly impossible dreams, desires, and endeavours, that you have conjured in the inmost part of your heart will definitely KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT.
As a matter of certainty, if you don't embark on devising ways to see to their realisation, you will have no peace, nor freedom.

This morning, I have fulfilled that mission which interrupted my peace tonight, and now I feel a true sense of relief and unburdened. The decision is now yours to see wisdom in what you have perused and get working.

It is my sincere hope that, you will intentionally wake up and strive to begin to break boundaries, and part ways with all the false limitations in your life. Remember to pray to your CREATOR to aid you in discovering your true calling in life and direct your path, accordingly.

Albeit, not easy, in the fruitful end, you will find cause to be thankful and lead a life without regrets.
