Its been 4yrs+ I graduated from the University. I go there once in a while for programmes and the likes... But something really surprises me, Somebody somewhere seems to recognise me. Well, this day I was at the students affairs and on sighting me, these two students screamed... "WOW! We were just talking about you... some told us of some things you did then... I told them I knew you VERY WELL!
-
I've been writing on Linda Ikeji, some haven't been too happy, and they didn't hide it... some think I'm hyping her success beyond measure... If having friends on Facebook were to be an achievement, my writing referencing her just gave me loads of friend requests.
-
Come to think of it, I wasn't even writing about her... she was only a leverage I used in passing a message. The message was far more important than her name, but her name drew attention to the message.
-
Which would ring a bell if you heard the name... Philip IKEJI or Linda AKPOVETA?
-
I guess it would be the first. You would probably ask if that person were a relation to Linda. The second might not ring as much to you as the first, except that you know about some EXCEPTIONAL guys on facebook with that name... and maybe send Linda Akpoveta a friend request to see what she carries.
-
When growing, we tend to hide under the names of influential persons to showcase our impact... We behave like a Sam ADEYEMI, Leke ALDER, TD JAKES, Paula WHITE etc... that's good. it is a step in your formation.
-
But you can't always and forever hide under the name of someone to pass your message in life... YOUR MESSAGE SHOULD GIVE YOUR NAME RELEVANCE.
.
Aren't you surprised that after all set and dawn, sufferings and sacrifices, the reward given to Jesus was a NAME that is greater than all other names?
-
Why would I draw a tattoo a Davido on my skin to attract relevance? Why would I sing like a frank EDWARDS to feed my ego... and they say, "Wow! you preach like TD JAKES", and I smile as if it were an accomplishment.
-
This isn't wrong though, but that isn't your BEST.
-
Rather than pursue wealth, pursue a NAME. There are so many wealthy and world billonaires who their names,far more than half the population of the earth aren't aware of... maybe I should ask WHAT IS YOUR NAME.
-
Until you have a REAL MESSAGE, you don't have a NAME. It isn't about being in a hurry to publish a book, say on FAITH, and its sitting side by side with Bishop OYEDEPO'S book on faith... You know who men will go for.
-
When your message carries REAL CONTENT distinct and significant, separate from the rest, then you've begun to emerge.
-
Don't hide under the covering of who may not know you, don't derive your uniqueness by WHO YOU KNOW... Be known for who you are.
-
I am PHILIP A. AKPOVETA
I rise to give relevance to the AKPOVETA clan in my way... Who are YOU?
-
TheEND.
