THE NUMBER ONE
Serena Williams enjoyed the number 1 spot for a very long time to the point it seemed she inherited it from her parents until Angelique Kerber shockingly displaced her. Right now, the highest position in the world is the American Presidency, but it has a time frame of 4years at most 8years. Bottom line, you will not be number 1 forever. You should know when your time is up, become a mentor and honourably know when to take the back stage. My Pastor would always say "When a professional football star does not know when to switch to become a coach, that same stadium people paid to watch him would also be where he would pay to watch others coming behind him".

Maximise your everyday opportunity: We have had so many people elected at different times as presidents of America but you and I will agree that most of their names will never ring a tangible bell in our minds?. Similarly, no one will doubt the relevance and impact of Abraham Lincoln?

Empty yourself and pass on the baton: Realising you don't have all the time should inspire you to raise other men. Any man that will invest in things by using people is a fool. You must invest your life into other men. Moses invested his life into Joshua, Elijah invested his into Elisha. Who are you investing your greatness into?

Be secured: Do not be afraid of other peoples shine. Discover fresh talents and give them space to shine. Never you let other peoples shine intimidate you. You will not always be able to hold other people down who are destined for the top.

Re-invent: You might be able to reign for sometime longer if you stick to a plan of continuous improvement. Re inventing yourself is a way of delaying having to fall out all of a sudden

Resign honourably: At 40,you have no business playing football in the professional league. You cannot display the dance steps of Beyoncé when you are already in your late 50's. Retire honourably, you will inspire more people. At a point Mandela resigned from the presidency and he let others take the centre stage. That did not in any way reduce his relevance.

I pray for you today that you will not fail with your life.
