Imitation is the foundation for
limitation; to be the best, you must be yourself.
SCRIPTURE: Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good The one
who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Imitation is the foundation for limitation; to be the
best, you must be yourself.
Imitation is the copying of a pattern of activity or thought of a person.
From our anchor Scripture above, it is clear that there is an imitation
that is good, void of offence and free of competitive jealousy. On the
contrary, there is an imitation that is bad. This type of imitation tries to
outdo, undo and outshine others. It is potent with competitive jealousy and
strife.
The truth is, imitation is the foundation for limitation; the struggle to
be like somebody is the reason for nobodies. Nothing brings out the best in you
like being yourself. To be the best, you must be yourself; to be yourself is to
beat the rest.
Beloved, the fact that your neighbour is flourishing in kerosene business
or real estate business does not mean God destined you to do same. That your
neighbour relocated abroad and he is now doing well does not mean your destiny
is to live abroad. Most people run to America thinking that once they get
there, all their problems would be over. On the contrary, the problems of some
of them even worsened.
The truth is, help is not abroad; help is above. Your allocation is not
necessarily abroad; your allocation is connected to where God wants you to be
per time. If God did not send you to Germany and you relocate there, you must
jam needs there. If God did not send you to England and you relocate there, you
won’t be glad there. And if God didn’t send you to Russia and you go there, you
must rush back.
My counsel is, locate your God-ordained spot and remain there. You shall
make it, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Imitation is the foundation for limitation; to be the best,
you must be yourself.
