I have never seen anyone in the game this big. There is no better way to depict Nigeria as the giant of Africa than to have him lead the African giant into the football pitch in an international game. He is for sure a massive lad. He is 1.85m and weighs 102kg.

This 38-year-old Anglo-Nigerian, Adebayo Akinfenwa, plays as a striker for Wycombe in the English League One. His side just got promoted to the English Championship after goals from Anthony Stewart and Joe Jacobson helped them beat Oxford United at Wembley in Monday’s League One play-off final. This earned them a promotion to England’s second tier for the first time in their 133 year history. In the 2019-20 EFL season, he banged in 10 goals in 20 appearances to become the club’s top goalscorer.

Don't they say that heaven is filled with answers for our prayers but unfortunately we do not ask for them? One of the ways we can create opportunities for ourselves is by asking. While celebrating his team's stellar performance, Akinfenwa who was so elated screamed to the microphone that he would want Liverpool’s boss, Jurgen Klopp, to come to celebrate with him. During his post-match interview with the Sky Sports crew, he yelled into the microphone;

"Look, look, let me calm down. First and foremost, I want to thank God, because today he made the impossible possible." "Four years ago I stood in front of you and I was technically unemployed."
"Let me tell you something, the only person that can hit me up on WhatsApp this time is Klopp, so we can celebrate together. You get me? Oi!"

Much later, Klopp, the Red’s gaffer, took to the Whatsapp social media video platform to answer to Akinfenwa’s wish. And the German said;

"Hello big man, congratulations!"
"Watched the game, well I didn't see the post-match interviews but Hendo [Jordan Henderson] or one of my players told me that you want to get, what did you think to say? If you could get in contact with me on WhatsApp, here we go!"
"Congratulations. I'm pretty sure your whole life at least a Championship player and now finally, you are there. Well done." "Great, great victory. Even in strange times, I hope you celebrate appropriately."

REFLECTION
We should not be afraid to speak up ourselves. The word we speak is a powerful force and it can go a long way in making things happen for us. When we want something, we should be courageous enough to ask for it- be it in the office, at home or in relationships. It is like in the game of football where if you don't shoot, you may never score.

The remarkable thing about Akinfenwa was that Klopp was not even watching. It was his captain, Jordan Henderson, that heard the wish and then passed it to his boss. Akinfenwa did not only get to celebrate with Klopp on video, but the gaffer also ended up inviting him to the Red’s trophy parade. He is sure living his dreams as a die-hard Liverpool fan. Just by speaking up, he got more than he wished.

He will surely not walk alone on the trophy parade day!

It does appear that we simply do not pray enough at times. If Klopp could listen to his captain to fulfill the request of someone he has no relationship with, you can imagine what God can do for us if we ask hard enough.
