10 LONGEST BRIDGE IN WORLD

10 Longest Bridges in the World

On May 27, 1937, 200,000 people gathered in the streets of San Francisco to celebrate the grand opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, a milestone achievement in engineering at the time and one of the world’s modern wonders. At over 4,000 feet long, the Golden Gate Bridge today does not even register on any list of longest bridges in the world. Below is the list of Top 10 longest bridges in the world today. As you read it, ponder carefully the future as well as the past. Behold!

10. Manchac Swamp Bridge (120,000 ft).Located in the great state of Louisiana, this bridge was completed in 1979 and is claimed by some to be the longest toll-free bridge in the world. It’s part of Interstate Highway 55, so it’s road-based, and the coolest (or scariest) part is that most of it goes over water. The piles of the bridge go as deep as 275 feet in some parts!

9. Wuhan Metro Bridge (124,000 ft). The Wuhan Metro Bridge links the massive Chinese city of Wuhan (10.6 million) together. Wuhan, located in the populous Hubei province, was only the fifth city in China to have a metro rail line built. The bridge was built in 2009 (the initial line, Line 1, was completed in 2004) and, because of Wuhan’s location along the Yangtze and Han rivers, spans over massive amounts of water. Wuhan is a major transportation hub in China and was the wartime capital of the country during the Japanese invasion.

8. Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (126,000 ft). The Causeway was completed in 1969 and held the world record for the longest bridge over water until 2011, when the Jiaozhao Bridge, in China, was built. The Causeway connects Metairie, an immediate suburb of New Orleans to Mandeville, in what is commonly referred to as the North Shore. It is the the last American bridge on this list.

7. Beijing Grand Bridge (158,000 ft). The capital city of China’s Grand Bridge is part of the massive, sprawling Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway project, was completed in 2010. Despite only serving the city of Beijing and its suburbs, the Beijing Grand Bridge still manages to make the Top 10 list here.

6. Bang Na Expressway (177,000 ft). The longest roadway in the world today, the Thai bridge was the world’s longest from the time of its completion, in 2000, until 2004, when it was replaced by the Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct in Taiwan. Bang Na (officially the Burapha Withi Expressway) connects Bangkok as a toll road and was built by a consortium of Thai, German, American, and Swedish interests and is the last roadway on this list.

5. Weinan Weihe Grand Bridge (261,000 ft).This massive bridge manages to cross the Wei River twice, and is part of the Zhengzhou-Xi’an High-Speed Railway megaplex. The bridge was completed in 2008, and it held the title of longest bridge in the world before being surpassed by a couple of other bridges (both part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway project) in 2010.

4. Tianjin Grand Bridge (373,000 ft). One of the aforementioned bridges completed in 2010 was the Tianjin Grand Bridge, which officially opened in 2011. Tianjin, the fourth largest city in China, is located along the coast and in between Beijing and Shanghai. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the name in the future, for it is a world-class city with a marvelous future ahead.

3. Cangde Grand Bridge (380,000 ft).Another bridge that is part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway project, it too was completed in 2010. The bridge has almost 3,100 piers and was built to be earthquake proof. Cangde competes with Tianjin for the third spot on most lists, thanks to small maintenance and construction projects that both bridges continue to receive.

2. Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct (516,000 ft). Built in 2004, Taiwan’s Changhua-Kaohshing Viaduct was the world’s longest bridge until 2010 and is one of the rebellious polity’s finest achievements of any kind. A high-speed rail line, this bridge is part of the Taiwan High Speed Rail network that runs up and down the west coast of the island. The entire line (including the bridge) was built by Taiwanese engineers with Japanese technology.

1. Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge (540,000 ft). Built in 2010, this bridge is part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway project that has been such a prominent part of this list. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge operates between Shanghai, the financial capital of China, and Nanjing, a neighboring city with a metro area lording over 30 million souls. The two cities reside in the Yangtze River Delta, one of the cradles of civilization (archaeologists are quick to point out that China had two cradles of civilization: one on the Yellow River and one on the Yangtze River). The Delta itself is home to about 140 million people, and is China’s economic engine of growth, productivity, and creativity. The engineering feat of the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge provides seeable proof of the Delta’s contributions to humanity.

Further thoughts

The big issue that stands out here is China, China, China. Six out of the 10 longest bridges in the world are in China now, and that number seems likely to rise given that two of the 10 longest bridges are ranked eighth and 10th, respectively. This is a major change in human history over the past 500 years. The shift from West to East can be viewed, it seems, through the lens of bridges built. The hard, visual proof of China surpassing of the West’s alpha polity, the United States, via bridge-building can easily stir up anxiousness within the hearts and minds of Westerners long accustomed to being No. 1.

7 QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP

7 Leadership Qualities of Great Leaders

Here are the seven most identified qualities of great leaders and executives:

1. Vision

“Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.” 

Great leaders have a vision… They can see into the future.

They have a clear, exciting idea of where they are going and what they are trying to accomplish and are excellent at strategic planning.

This quality separates them from managers. Having a clear vision turns the individual into a special type of person. This quality of vision changes a “transactional manager” into a “transformational leader.”

While a manager gets the job done, great leaders tap into the emotions of their employees.

2. Courage

“Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.”Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are

One of the more important qualities of a good leader is courage. Having the quality of courage means that you are willing to take risks in the achievement of your goals with no assurance of success. Because there is no certainty in life or business, every commitment you make and every action you take entails a risk of some kind.

Among the seven leadership qualities, courage is the most identifiable outward trait.

3. Integrity

“With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.” 

In every strategic planning session that I have conducted for large and small corporations, the first value that all the gathered executives agree upon for their company is integrity. They all agree on the importance of complete honesty in everything they do, both internally and externally.

The core of integrity is truthfulness.

Integrity requires that you always tell the truth, to all people, in every situation. Truthfulness is the foundation quality of the trust that is necessary for the success of any business.

4. Humility

“The more you can contain your ego, the more realistic you are about your problems. You learn how to listen, and admit that you don’t know all the answers. You exhibit the attitude that you can learn from anyone at any time. Your pride doesn’t get in the way of gathering the information you need to achieve the best results. It doesn’t keep you from sharing the credit that needs to be shared. Humility allows you to acknowledge your mistakes.” –

Great leaders are those who are strong and decisive but also humble.

Humility doesn’t mean that you’re weak or unsure of yourself. It means that you have the self-confidence and self-awareness to recognize the value of others without feeling threatened.

This is one of the rarer attributes – or traits – of good leaders because it requires containment of one’s ego.

It means that you are willing to admit you could be wrong, that you recognize you may not have all the answers. And it means that you give credit where credit is due – – which many people struggle to do.

5. Strategic Planning

“Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: it’s the starting point.” 

Great leaders are outstanding at strategic planning. It’s another one of the more important leadership strengths. They have the ability to look ahead, to anticipate with some accuracy where the industry and the markets are going.

Leaders have the ability to anticipate trends, well in advance of their competitors. They continually ask, “Based on what is happening today, where is the market going? Where is it likely to be in three months, six months, one year, and two years?” They do this through thoughtful strategic planning.

Because of increasing competitiveness, only the leaders and organizations that can accurately anticipate future markets can possibly survive. Only leaders with foresight can gain the “first mover advantage.”

6. Focus

“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. –

Leaders always focus on the needs of the company and the situation. Leaders focus on results, on what must be achieved by themselves, by others, and by the company. Great leaders focus on strengths, in themselves and in others.

They focus on the strengths of the organization, on the things that the company does best in satisfying demanding customers in a competitive marketplace.

Your ability as a leader to call the shots and make sure that everyone is focused and concentrated on the most valuable use of their time is essential to the excellent performance of the enterprise.

7. Cooperation

“If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self-interest, you can have practically anything you go after.....

Your ability to get everyone working and pulling together is essential to your success. Leadership is the ability to get people to work for you because they want to....

Twenty percent of your people contribute 80 percent of your results.

Your ability to select these people and then to work well with them on a daily basis is essential to the smooth functioning of the organization.

Gain the cooperation of others by making a commitment to get along well with each key person every single day. You always have a choice when it comes to a task: You can do it yourself, or you can get someone else to do it for you. Which is it going to be?

Effective Leaders Are Also Strong Communicators

Another important trait that the best leaders strive to perfect is the ability to speak effectively and persuasively.

In fact, many tend to practice public speaking within their own businesses until they are ready to branch out into professional paid speaking gigs. Although talking in front of crowds is a top fear for the majority of us, conquering this fear is what makes a good leader become a great leader.

If you’re ready to overcome your fear of speaking and start leading more effectively, just take the first step and the rest will become history.

Here Are A few Benefits of Playing A Musical Instrument:

1. Instruments serve as great stress-relievers! The sounds that you hear can soothe and calm your mind. Playing instruments also helps in uplifting your mood and in releasing negative energy! Violins are a great example of this, the soft melodies coming from the sound of a violin can help you focus and boost your energy.

GOD IS NOT DEAF

GOD IN NOT DEAF by - Olajuwon Adeshola

GOD IS NOT DEAF!!!

Ade tells himself, “God is deaf! I just completed a 21-days prayer and fasting. I have also waited for one month for the answer to my prayers. It still did not come through.”  Ade then decides to embark on a 42-day prayer and fasting since God didn’t hear him during the 21days so he thought that maybe if he doubles it, God will hear!

Have you ever been in Mr. Ade’s shoes? Have you ever been praying and fasting and practicing all the kingdom activities but yet it seems as though God is deaf? But does He actually hear?

When we call God “Omnipresent”- it means He is everywhere at all times.

When we call God “Omnipotent”– it means He has all the power both in Heaven and Earth.

When we call God “Omniscience”– it means He knows all things.

To think of it, how would a person who created the whole world not be Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscience?  Many times, people do not take time out to think about this God. We just imagine that if we press one or two spiritual buttons then we are sure to get what we want.

Jeremiah 1:5- “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…” What does it means to know? God knew you before He even formedyou. That’s why He knows everything about you- right from the beginning of your life to the end. God deals with everyone individually.Someone might say that a person gave a testimony of how he prayed and fasted for a job for 70days and got it, so I would do the same. Have you ever considered that the way God designed that person’s life is different from the way He designed yours?

Mathew 6:7- “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions like the pagans for they think they will be heard because of their many words”. The Bible urges us to walk by faith and not by sight. As long as you are walking in the fear and love of God, then all things are working for your good. You do not need to keep repeating a particular prayer point for days, months and years. God heard you the first time you told Him. If He wanted to do it there and then, He would have done it. Be patient and submit to His time and purposefor your life..

God is not deaf that He cannot hear your prayers. He knows you and sees ahead of you. If what you are asking for is not yet in His agenda for the time being, then you may not receive it. He created the ears, so He cannotbe deaf. That thing you continually pray about would be delivered at the right time. “For the vision is for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie; though it tarries, wait for it because it will surely come…”- Habakkuk 2:3.

When the time comes for your deliverance, it will happen!

When the time comes for your miracle job, it will happen!

When the time comes for your marriage, it will happen!

When the time comes for whatever you are asking for, it will surely happen!

Take your requests to God and hold your peace, He will cause all things to work together for your good. Just take a quick look back at your life. Have you ever been chasing a particular thing for so long that when you finally get it, you realize that if you had gotten it much earlier, it would not have been advantageous?

God loves you. Believe that! God hears you. Believe that! Trust Him to take care of you. He did not love you because of anything you did. So take a deep breath, calm down, believe and relax in that assurance.

God bless you!   

BE PATIENT ,BE INSPIRED

Be Inspired: God Makes Everything Beautiful In His Time – Be Patient

Winning souls? I am doing that. Living righteously? I am doing that. Paying my tithes and offerings? I am doing that. Praying every day? I am doing that. Reading and meditating on the Word? I am doing that…What is it that am not doing? Stephen asks himself. I have been living from hand to mouth ever since I graduated from the university 5 years ago. It is not easy to make money in Nigeria oh! Or must I steal before I can be comfortable or my life beautiful?

ECCLESIASTES 3: 11 – “HE HATH MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME: ALSO HE HATH SET THE WORLD IN THEIR HEART, SO THAT NO MAN CAN FIND OUT THE WORK THAT GOD MAKETH FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END”.

Don’t you think that there is time for everything under the sun, just as Ecclesiastes said? Sometimes, it seems as if you have done and gotten everything right and the only question on your mind is – Why things are not still working the way you have planned them to be? It could get very frustrating as faith might begin to get lost. Depression, anger and stress will set in when expectations are shattered.

[irp]

Is it wrong to have expectations? No. However, it is wrong to give up after expectations are not fulfilled. The world is bigger than we can see. God is bigger than we can imagine. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God looks at the bigger picture for our lives while we are only limited to our 5 senses.

At times the things we think we need and want are not the things God wants for us at such particular time. So if our prayers are in line with Gods word and we do not receive answers from God, then God is saying to us to WAIT!

The Bible admonishes us to walk by faithand not by sight. It is important to believe God and trust in Him whether or not things work as we want.

The deep things belongs unto God. When He called Abraham the father of many nations, it took a while for that prophecy to come to pass.

Do not think that God favours some people and leaves some others. He is not partial but He is faithful and just to everyone on the surface of the earth.

A wise man illustrated the blessings of God to the division of the day – Morning, Afternoon and Night. He said that for some people, their blessings come in the morning; for some others, it comes in the afternoon while for some others, it comes in the Night.

Patience is the virtue we need to live in this world and walk with God. Our blessings will therefore come in His time. The assurance we have of this is; God loves us enough to give His son for us to redeem us off our sins, blessing us and meeting our needs is not a difficult task for God to accomplish.

Be encouraged and wait on God, He makes all things beautiful in His own time.

Theme: Let there be Light part 7

Text: Acts 9:1-6

We have some very serious prayers to pray tonight and by the time we finish the Holy Ghost Service, you will know that you will pray like never before so that God will send light.

Saul was persecuting Christians. He was on his way to Damascus going to arrest anyone who is a follower of Jesus Christ. On the way, the light shown and several things changed.

Prayer 1; Lord, if am going in the wrong direction, let your light arrest me.

Proverbs 16:25; Many at times we think we are going in the right direction or making the right choices and we are wrong. Except God send His light, we may end up in the out.

Genesis 13:5-13, Genesis 19:12-26, Lits taught he chose right but list everything in one day even his wife was list in the process.

2 Kings 5:20-27; Gehazi went for what his master rejected, Gehazi did not realize he was going the right direction, in the end, he got leprosy after getting all he went for.

1 Samuel 25:1-39, Naaman had plenty of animals, David and his men were helping him to protect the animals. Naaman refused to give food to David and his men, David heard and he said he will wipe him out but was told not to avenge for himself, A light was shown on the part of David that day and God avenged for David.

Prayer 2; Lord send your light, if am riding on the horse of pride, please bring me down.

Many are so proud of using the word I or me, Daniel 4:1-end. Pride is a very deadly sin. James 4:6, Psalm 138:6, Philippians 2:5-12 (The way down is the way up, Humble yourself). If you want to go high, you must learn to humble yourself.

Consider Elisha, 1 Kings 19:15-21, he humbled himself so much that he was pouring water in the hands of Elijah and God promoted him. 2 Kings 4:8-17. He was controlling the high and mighty because he humbled himself.

If you want to climb, learn to humble yourself.

Prayer 3; Lord send your light, let me hear your voice.

For the first time in the life of saul, he heard God speak. He never heard God speak when he was persecuting Christians. Revelations 2:7

It is not everybody, who can hear what God is saying. When God speaks and you can hear, your life will be completely transformed. John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice. You are not sure you are a Christian until you begin to hear from God. When you don't hear His voice, it out a question mark that you are not one of His sheep. Hearing from God turns the tide for you. Exodus 3:1-15. Moses heard the voice of the Lord and his life changed, 1 Samuel 3:1-21, the tide turned for Samuel when he heard from God.

The inability to hear from God might be dangerous. Psalm 107:20. If you can't hear His word, you might not get your healing and deliverance. Isaiah 6:8-10, Romans 10:17

Prayer 4; God please send your light and change my vision and change my focus.

Prophesy: The Lors said there is someone listening to me right now, He said the one who said there is no hope for you will come and tell you sorry, there is hope for you. Amen

Genesis 3:1-7, If you look in the wrong direction, it can destroy you. Judges 16:4-21, 14:1-3. The real destroyer of dams on was his eyes. Samson kept on seeing the wrong thing that is when the enemy captures him. Colossians 3:1-2, Focus on things above. There are people who have done something they will never have done because they were looking at the wrong things. 2 Kings 2:9-15, Elijah told Elisha if you can see me. If you can see the invisible, you can see the impossible. Elisha saw the spiritual things and he ended up with a double portion of Elijah. On the other hand, Naaman saw gold and became a loser.

Prayer 5; Lord send your light and lock me down if you consider it necessary. Acts 9:9

Genesis 40:1-end, it was while Joseph was locked down in prison that's why he became an interpreter of dreams

Elijah was locked down in the house of a widow, 1 Kings 7:8-24, 1 Samuel 22:1-2, David was lockdown in the cave. 2 Samuel 23:9-39, Revelation 1:4-20 (John the beloved was lockdown) 

Prophesy; The Lord wants me to tell someone, I have never been as close to you as I am now.

Prayer 6; Acts 9:19-12, Lord at this moment, send destiny helpers to me.

Prophesy; The Lord said the fellow will understand, Read Isaiah 6:1-8. You have done well thus far but want you to know, I break down in other to build-up

1 Samuel 16:1-13, David was looking after his father sheep in the bush not knowing Samuel is coming. The light has shown from heaven but didn't realize it. 1 Samuel 19:15-21, Elisha was busy on the farm not knowing his case has been discussed between God and Elijah. 

God, please send me a destiny helper in this time of crisis. Some of us might be expecting someone coming from America, but the destiny helper might be already in your house, 2 Kings 5:1-14

Lord, please send a destiny helper to me. If he is already in my home let him speak up. All my destiny helpers wherever they may be at home or abroad, Almighty God, don't ever let them rest until they contact me, let him show up for me.

Prayer 7; based on Acts 9:13-21; God whatever your purpose for my life please fulfill it.

Prophesy: The Lord said there are testimonies and there are testimonies. He said someone will come out of this lockdown with great testimonies.

Galatians 1:15-16, Acts 9:13-21, 1 Timothy 1:15, 2 Corinthians 11:5. 

God has a purpose for every man's life. For that purpose to be fulfilled occasionally He has to arrest you when you are going in the wrong direction. He may need to lock you down and them send a destiny helper so that at the end of the day that purpose can be fulfilled.

In conclusion

Your last prayer; God give me the grace to pay the price. Philippians 3:7-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Everybody runs the race, only one wins the prize. 

There are people who will tell you because Jesus has finished the work on the cross and there is nothing for you and no price to pay. Such might be right but know Only one wins the gold medal in a race. They will even say that all that matters is to participate and not necessary to win but the question you should ask them, why don't they give medals to the failures. You must be the best among the best. There is a gap between gold and silver and between silver and bronze. A hundred talents of gold are greater than a million talents of silver. I don't want to be just among the best, I want to be the very best, that should be your aim. 

2 Corinthians 11:27, Luke 5:33-35, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (Pray without ceasing). Daniel 6:1-3. Aim at been the best among the best always.

Prayer; Lord give me the grace to pay any price so that I can be the best for you.

For those of you who have not given their lives to Christ, you have not started at all. The light has shown on you today by listening to this message. Surrender your life to Jesus now so that the purpose of your life can be fulfilled.uly Holy Ghost Service, Friday, July 3, 2020

1 Samuel 25:1-39, Naaman had plenty of animals, David and his men were helping him to protect the animals. Naaman refused to give food to David and his men, David heard and he said he will wipe him out but was told not to avenge for himself, A light was shown on the part of David that day and God avenged for David.

Prayer 2; Lord send your light, if am riding on the horse of pride, please bring me down.

Many are so proud of using the word I or me, Daniel 4:1-end. Pride is a very deadly sin. James 4:6, Psalm 138:6, Philippians 2:5-12 (The way down is the way up, Humble yourself). If you want to go high, you must learn to humble yourself.

Consider Elisha, 1 Kings 19:15-21, he humbled himself so much that he was pouring water in the hands of Elijah and God promoted him. 2 Kings 4:8-17. He was controlling the high and mighty because he humbled himself.

If you want to climb, learn to humble yourself.

Prayer 3; Lord send your light, let me hear your voice.

For the first time in the life of saul, he heard God speak. He never heard God speak when he was persecuting Christians. Revelations 2:7

It is not everybody, who can hear what God is saying. When God speaks and you can hear, your life will be completely transformed. John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice. You are not sure you are a Christian until you begin to hear from God. When you don't hear His voice, it out a question mark that you are not one of His sheep. Hearing from God turns the tide for you. Exodus 3:1-15. Moses heard the voice of the Lord and his life changed, 1 Samuel 3:1-21, the tide turned for Samuel when he heard from God.

The inability to hear from God might be dangerous. Psalm 107:20. If you can't hear His word, you might not get your healing and deliverance. Isaiah 6:8-10, Romans 10:17

Prayer 4; God please send your light and change my vision and change my focus.

Prophesy: The Lors said there is someone listening to me right now, He said the one who said there is no hope for you will come and tell you sorry, there is hope for you. Amen

Genesis 3:1-7, If you look in the wrong direction, it can destroy you. Judges 16:4-21, 14:1-3. The real destroyer of dams on was his eyes. Samson kept on seeing the wrong thing that is when the enemy captures him. Colossians 3:1-2, Focus on things above. There are people who have done something they will never have done because they were looking at the wrong things. 2 Kings 2:9-15, Elijah told Elisha if you can see me. If you can see the invisible, you can see the impossible. Elisha saw the spiritual things and he ended up with a double portion of Elijah. On the other hand, Naaman saw gold and became a loser.

Prayer 5; Lord send your light and lock me down if you consider it necessary. Acts 9:9

Genesis 40:1-end, it was while Joseph was locked down in prison that's why he became an interpreter of dreams

Elijah was locked down in the house of a widow, 1 Kings 7:8-24, 1 Samuel 22:1-2, David was lockdown in the cave. 2 Samuel 23:9-39, Revelation 1:4-20 (John the beloved was lockdown) 

Prophesy; The Lord wants me to tell someone, I have never been as close to you as I am now.

Prayer 6; Acts 9:19-12, Lord at this moment, send destiny helpers to me.

Prophesy; The Lord said the fellow will understand, Read Isaiah 6:1-8. You have done well thus far but want you to know, I break down in other to build-up

1 Samuel 16:1-13, David was looking after his father sheep in the bush not knowing Samuel is coming. The light has shown from heaven but didn't realize it. 1 Samuel 19:15-21, Elisha was busy on the farm not knowing his case has been discussed between God and Elijah. 

God, please send me a destiny helper in this time of crisis. Some of us might be expecting someone coming from America, but the destiny helper might be already in your house, 2 Kings 5:1-14

Lord, please send a destiny helper to me. If he is already in my home let him speak up. All my destiny helpers wherever they may be at home or abroad, Almighty God, don't ever let them rest until they contact me, let him show up for me.

Prayer 7; based on Acts 9:13-21; God whatever your purpose for my life please fulfill it.

Prophesy: The Lord said there are testimonies and there are testimonies. He said someone will come out of this lockdown with great testimonies.

Galatians 1:15-16, Acts 9:13-21, 1 Timothy 1:15, 2 Corinthians 11:5. 

God has a purpose for every man's life. For that purpose to be fulfilled occasionally He has to arrest you when you are going in the wrong direction. He may need to lock you down and them send a destiny helper so that at the end of the day that purpose can be fulfilled.

In conclusion

Your last prayer; God give me the grace to pay the price. Philippians 3:7-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Everybody runs the race, only one wins the prize. 

There are people who will tell you because Jesus has finished the work on the cross and there is nothing for you and no price to pay. Such might be right but know Only one wins the gold medal in a race. They will even say that all that matters is to participate and not necessary to win but the question you should ask them, why don't they give medals to the failures. You must be the best among the best. There is a gap between gold and silver and between silver and bronze. A hundred talents of gold are greater than a million talents of silver. I don't want to be just among the best, I want to be the very best, that should be your aim. 

2 Corinthians 11:27, Luke 5:33-35, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (Pray without ceasing). Daniel 6:1-3. Aim at been the best among the best always.

Prayer; Lord give me the grace to pay any price so that I can be the best for you.

For those of you who have not given their lives to Christ, you have not started at all. The light has shown on you today by listening to this message. Surrender your life to Jesus now so that the purpose of your life can be fulfilled.
