GREAT IMPACT; A PRODUCT OF GREAT RISK
SCRIPTURE: He which received the
one talent came and said, Lord, I know thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping where thou has not sown, and gathering where thou hast not
strewed: And I was afraid, and went and hid the talent in the earth; lo,
there thou has that is thine. Matthew 25:24-25
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Great impact is a product of great risk-sponsored effort.
It is an established fact that there is no investment without risk.
You cannot have a chance if you do not take a chance. You cannot
succeed if you do not make an attempt. If you cannot risk failing, you
cannot help but to fail.
A major problem with the man in our anchor Scripture was the fear
of taking a risk. He did not want to lose the talent in investment so he
decided to save it. He eventually lost everything. In order not to end a
loser in life, you must make up your mind to be a risk taker. Impact
makers are risk takers. Great impact is a product of great
risk-sponsored effort.
God Almighty is actually a great risk-taker. When He sent and
invested His only Son, Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, it
was a great risk. But that risk has produced and it is still producing
great results. What if Christ suffered the way He did and nobody
believed? It was a risk.
So, in order to multiply the grace and resources of your life, you
must decide to be a risk-taker. Determine to rise up again and again
even if repeated attempts fail.
Remember this: Great impact is a product of great risk-sponsored effort.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Ensure the risk you take is in line with the Will of God for your life.
2. Make strategic plans before you take a risk.
3. Refuse to be a failure; arise and take your place in life.

PRAYER: O LORD, thank You for Your glorious plans
for my life. I receive the grace to be a risk-taker. I refuse to remain
in status-quo, in Jesus’ Name.
