What NEXT? (Part 2)


I know as an African, you might be asking yourself, "What NEXT? What exactly do we need to start doing NOW?" 

Considering all the things we have to do, I know the task might be daunting and it might look impossible to accomplish – but you know what, it is not impossible!

I know one thing for sure – nothing is insurmountable and for every problem there is always a solution. Though we might not have all the resources we need, but we surely have what we need to start.

First of all is belief. It must start from our minds. It must start from the inside. We must believe that we can do it.

Someone said "You can’t receive until you believe."

It is belief that makes us do anything we want to do. The action doesn’t just happen without the mind taking part in it. It must first start in the mind. Just as we know nothing happens in real life without first happening in the mind.

All the things we see in our world today happen because someone first conceived them in their mind. It’s absolutely impossible to get anything done without accepting it in your mind – whether conscious or subconscious. So, solving the problem of our continent must first start from our mind – our belief.

Next is action. What exactly do we need to start doing to get result in the direction of what we want? 

It is what I can summarize as empowerment. 

We must go all out for this one thing – empowerment. What does this mean? It means– getting the resources needed to achieve our goals – getting the capacity to get the job done. 

Empowerment equips us with the competence needed to effect the change that we need to make on our continent. It instills in us the confidence, courage, and faith required to take decisive action. 

Empowerment manifests in various forms. We have mental empowerment, financial empowerment, social empowerment, spiritual empowerment, physical empowerment, emotional empowerment, marital empowerment, and so on. 

These forms of empowerment are not solely about obtaining the resources or capacity but also deploying them effectively for optimal results. 

It is imperative that we support one another. We must assist each other in acquiring knowledge, providing the right information and education, offering financial support, praying for one another, and providing encouragement. 

We must see ourselves as brothers and sisters, recognizing that our collective growth is essential for the development of the African continent. 

Whatever resources or abilities you possess, utilize them to support your fellow brothers and sisters. Do not withhold valuable resources when they are needed to assist someone in need. You never know the profound impact your generosity may have on someone's life. 

Seize the opportunity to be a blessing to others and contribute to the rising of a new Africa, where we all partake in its beauty and glory. 

In the subsequent articles, I will discuss more about these forms of empowerment and how we can deploy them for optimal results in our lives. 

Cheers to a new Africa! Cheers to a brighter future!
