Well, it's Thursday, and so I thought I'd share a message sent in by one of our most ardent and discerning listeners, Evelyn Bigson.

When I woke up I was pondering about life. I discovered that:

Sometimes, to succeed in life you need ENEMIES Yes.

You need people who will mock you, so that you can run to God.

You need people who will try to intimidate you, so that you can be courageous.

You need people who will say "NO" so that you can learn how to do it yourself.

You need people who will disappoint you so that you can put all your trust in God alone.

You need people who will work towards you loosing that job, so that you can start your own big business.

You need people who will sell you out like Joseph so that you can get to Egypt and be a Prime Minister in a land of captivity.

You need a cruel landlord, so that you won't be too comfortable in someone else's home. Then you can build your own house.

But you see, when we are disappointed, we often feel so bad about it that we tend to remain on that spot, not realising that the product of our disappointment is the raw material for our accomplishments. 

Understand this, that every disappointment you have ever had, also came with a blessing. However, you may not have always taken advantage of these accompanying blessings.

You cannot see an OPEN door while you are still putting all your attention, time and energy in trying to force the closed one to open.

So, next time you're disappointed, the next time someone lets you down, the next time your enemy gets the better of you, thank God for it and tell Him to open your eyes, so you can see the new blessing that He has for you.

It's a process. Disappointment is PHASE1, and accomplishment is PHASE2. No use trying to jump the protocols. That is why it is called BREAKTHROUGH Something must BREAK so that you can go THROUGH! 

May you be blessed with enough enemies and disappointment to make you successful.

And that's our message from a listener this Terrific Thursday Morning.

My name is Kojo Yankson, and on behalf of the nation, I thank Evelyn Bigson for today's motivation.

GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
