Bishop David Oyedepo: HIS TRUE WORTH REVEALED: His Panacea For Stardom

I have always been fascinated by the story of the lion being the king of the jungle, and through the benefit of hindsight, the inspiration to do this mini secret of success book was as a result of the might and grace the grace of the lion. On May 19, 2014 few days to my birthday, I wrote an elaborate piece in my column for BUSINESS WORLD in my segment called Business world on His Highness UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, titled: MAN BEHIND EMIRATE AIRLINE. Few days later, on my birthday, MAY 29TH 2014 I got a parcel as birthday present and in the neatly wrapped pack was a big book by the subject matter himself, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the voluminous book titled: MY VISION, Challenges in the Race for Excellence. I love what I saw at the back of the book about the Lion and the gazelle as researched by the author. : "With each new day in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish. At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve. It is no different for the human race. Whether you consider yourself a gazelle or a lion, you simply have to run faster than others to survive. "In His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum viewpoint, life consist of a number of opportunities and greater opportunities do not come knocking on people doors. Whoever wants such opportunities must grab them when they arise, for his people and for himself. We have to be powerful, strong-willed, determined and willing to grasp such opportunities, so that we do not have to scavenge the leftovers of lions. Not long after my reading this story of lion and gazelle, I was in the gigantic Winners Chapel one Sunday and here was the anointed man of God, Bishop David Oyedepo telling his mammoth flock the need to think and start living like lion in the race for life rather than acting like cows. It is not a surprise that the narration and motivation of the story of lion as told by the Bishop can be said to be the true motivation behind this book in your hand today. However it must be noted that the writer has gone a step forward to talk about the much speculated worth of the man of God, what Forbes said he is worth and of course the book is further spiced with a rare never before seen type of quotes or inspirational sayings from the man, called to liberate his people from abject lack or one manner of illness or the other. I am confident that no matter your race, religion or age, this book can in one way or the other be of great motivation to you in your drive to either live like a lion or a gazelle-whether you call or see yourself as either of the animal, you simply have to RUN faster than others to survive CHIEF MIKE CERUTTI OSAGIE 2014
