Customized For Purpose. by AKAKAK(m): 3:49pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Do you know God has customised you to achieve amazing things? Lionel Messi was born on 24th June 1987, in Rosario, Argentina to a father who was a factory worker, and a mother who was a cleaner. When he was 11 years old, Messi was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), a condition that made him short and needed a treatment but it was too expensive for his poor parents to afford. He began playing from an early age but he was too short. While his parents were searching for treatment for him, Coach Carles Rexach of FC Barcelona was impressed with Messi at a trial and offered him a contract that was written on tissue paper! FC Barcelona paid for Messi's treatment in Spain when he joined the prestigious FC Barcelona youth academy. Lionel Messi is the most exciting footballer to walk the face of the earth. The condition that prevented him from growing tall has become such a great asset. His shortness has given him the amazing stability that brings exception control in motion. Messi is the only player to win four consecutive FIFA Baloon d'Or and he is FC Barcelona’s. River Plate FC in Argentina wanted to offer him a place in their academy but were unwilling to pay for the cost of his treatment. If Messi had been tall, he would be playing for River Plate and not Barca. It would have taken him long, to reach where he is and he would not have achieved so much so soon. When I watch him play, I wonder what else he would be good at apart from football. Paul says, “…we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will” (Ephesians 1:11) When God creates a person for purpose, he considers all the demands of the assignment and determines the best assets, facilities and genetic blue print that best matches the demands of the assignment. For Messi to accomplish his purpose, he needed to be short. Being short made him stable and quick. His fast twitch muscles required a limited height to bloom. What have you been predestined to accomplish for the glory of your Father in Heaven? I do not know what limitations you have in your life but if you feel God has opened a door for you, then pray for Him to show you how you can enter that door and rule your realm. |
