THE SELF-MADE MAN

It is wrong to claim that you are a self-made man. Young man, it is an aberration from truth because you are not in reality self-made. There is no one that is self-made. You are a combination of several efforts and packages from others. It is an illusion, young man and you must not fall for that cos it will reduce your effectiveness in life. It will limit how you can access all the helps that God packaged in men for you. The claim is egotistic and it destroys you from attaining your best. You are a combination of efforts. Parents, teachers,friends, colleagues and all around you have their inputs in what you will become. The idea of a self-made man is traceable to a man who think no one deserves a place of praise in their making process. They think they achieved it all by themselves. Well, you may have achieve some, but you didn't do it all by yourself. Such claims leaves you to be self-centered. You may erase the place of God also thinking that its all your talents, gifts and all that got you hitherto. This will reduce you and cause you to be proud at heart. If that enters, you may be cut short of your shining and impact. God resist the proud by himself and you may not go far into becoming all of his design. You know why, you will be cut off from his supply by yourself. You will be driven away from men's help and you may end up in the jungles of life with a beastly heart. Don't ever get to a point where you think you are self-made. You may up in a bad shape.  A man looked around at all his gathering and felt he had achieved all by himself. He proposed to enlarge the barn and relax to eat. He forgot God. He forgot his people, servants, families, and all his workers. His life was taken that night. You need to beware of not closing your goal unfulfilled. You must not be finished before finishing because you cut yourself off the supplies of heaven to make you, YOU. Nebuchadnezzar also claimed that he was self-made. He thought he had all by himself. He was a self-made man. God asked him to be cut down. He was sent away for seven seasons eating garbage like animal. Young man, you are not self-made. All you will ever become in life must not be link to yourself. Your life is link to GOD and GOD alone. And in that, he placed people in your life. He placed helps all around you to be made by him. You are not a self-made man. You are a God-made man if you allow him to make you to  his fullness.
