Age Is Just A Number


Age Is Just A Number

Do you feel agitated when you're asked "How old are you?" It's natural that people compare their age to their level of achievements. That's big error! You can be whatever you want to be in God's agenda if you're ready to pay the price at the right time.

In Genesis 47:8-9
Pharaoh asked Jacob how old he was. Jacob responded: "The length of my stay on earth has been 130 years. The years of my life have been few and difficult, fewer than my ancestors' years." 

Many people feel edgy or uneasy about questions of their age because of unfulfilled dreams, fear of being compared, disrespected, rejected or exploited among others. Great people realize that while God is the giver of life, we must  strive to live purposefully and meaningfully within our time frame.

The famous author, preacher and motivational speaker Dr. Robert Schuller  wrote a book, "DON'T THROW AWAY TOMORROW" that reveals you can still be what you want to be, your age notwithstanding. He built the Crystal Cathedral when nobody believed he could do it.

At age 78, he conceived a dream for the next 10 years of his life and challenged others to maximize their years. God honoured him and he died in 2015 at age 88 with a fulfilled destiny. Like Apostle Paul, "He fought a good fight, he finished his course and kept the faith." What about you?

No matter how difficult and complicated your life has been, thank God for your age and keep dreaming of a better tomorrow in all areas of your pursuit. Rest assured God will back you up in that dream and bring it into manifestation. Age is just a number, don't allow it defeat you.

This Is Your Day: Go Forward! Your miracle is closer than you can ever imagine.

See You At The Top In 2016. #MoreGrace!
