let's heal the world...
HE WAS NAMED JABEZ... HE SUFFERED IN SORROW TILL THE NAME WAS CHANGED...
HE WAS NAMED JACOB... THINGS WEREN'T SMOOTH FOR HIM TILL HE BECAME THE BLESSED ISRAEL...
SHE WAS NAMED CHIMAMANDA (NGOZI ADICHIE)... AND GOD DID NOT FAIL HER, IN ACCORDANCE WITH HER NAME...
HE WAS NAMED BARACK (OBAMA)... AND GOD HAS NOT CEASED TO BLESS HIM...
HE WAS NAMED JESUS... AND HE REMAINS THE MESSIAH...
MOST TIMES, WE ANSWER NAMES WITHOUT ACTUALLY KNOWING THE SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OR EFFECTS OF THE NAMES WE ANSWER...
NAME MIGHT NOT BE 'THE' DETERMINANT OF DESTINY, BUT FROM ALL RAMIFICATIONS, IT IS EVIDENT THAT NAME IS 'A' DETERMINANT OF DESTINY...
IF WE MUST BEAR NAMES, LET'S TAKE ON THOSE THAT'D NOT HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON US...
TAKE YOUR TIME AND RETROSPECT ON ALL THE GREAT PEOPLE YOU KNOW, AND IT'D DAWN ON YOU THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE NAMES THAT ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY BECOME IN LIFE...
I WAS NAMED AMALACHUKWU... MEANING, THE GRACE OF GOD... AND GRACE MEANS UNMERITED FAVOR... BELIEVE ME, THAT HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ME FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER... FAVOR UNMERITED... FAVOR UNDESERVED... I DON'T THINK IT'S NEWS ANYMORE THAT I GREW UP IN PENURY... WHO AM I THAT GOD'D THINK OF ME?
FRIENDS CALL ME 'MR GIFTED' AND I BELIEVE THAT HAS EFFECT ON ME TOO...
NOW, WHAT IS YOUR NAME, WHAT DO PEOPLE CALL YOU, WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT MAY LEAD YOU, HOW HAS IT AFFECTED YOU?
I BELIEVE THAT GOD WILLING, MY OWN NAME WILL LEAD ME TO THE TOP SOMEDAY... JESUS WILL SEE TO THAT...
HMMMM... HMMMM... HMMM...

I grew up in a society more like inner-city. A society that would not offer me the opportunity to rise and be what I wanted to be. A society where from the cradle, I knew I was responsible for whatever I became in life. That no father, no mother, no uncle, no aunty, no brother, no sister, no friend was responsible for my future. I knew from the cradle that whichever way I defined my future was the way it was going to be. Thus, early in life, I garnered audacity and learnt to stage my own plays in the theater of life, believing that I would be whatever I wanted to be...
I speak...
