So just yesterday, Chelsea emerged winner at Europa Cup 2019. I don't watch football, but I saw a video on Alibaba's IG Handle and I couldn't help but to share the caption underneath it.
Below is the text clearly typed out for your peruse
Some people will be lifted up by the efforts they have put in their work. While others have to make an effort to work up, sorry walk up the stairs. This simple video, defines life. Privileges come with the success of your hard work & application of all the skills you have.
Many times, people do not qualify for the privileges you have earned, but because they believe you are all the same, there should be equality of treatment. You cannot be treated the same way as those who brought extra oil. The parable of the 10 maidens made this clear. The 5 maidens who didn't have oil, couldn't get in the lift.
Even in a football club, your skill set is what determines your pay package.
All players are footballers. But some still earn more than others. Some earn almost 3 or 4 times what another player earns. Means, some players can pay to bench about 2 or 3 players and still be comfortable.
If you are not qualified, to be in the lift, struggling to get inside the lift is travesty. You cannot have your cake, eat it, burp & still have the audacity to join those fasting.
Just as this match between Chelsea and Arsenal, many, would have pulled the emotional card. “Since Chelsea had qualified automatically by factor of top 4, they didn't need to get this”. Says who? Football is not a game of favours. That's why, you see players gather before a game starts, to pray, that prayer is for their pocket.
What You Can Benefit From This
God will not give you a win you did not prepare to have. David did not kill Golliath with prayers. He had learnt to shoot his sling, catapult, if you may. God just blessed the shot. God will not select the stone and swing the shot for you. He will bless the work of your hand.
Same thing with those looking to have kids. You no dey do.
You still dey wonder Wetin and why. Sometimes, sef, it's not about just doing, when you no be Nike. It's about timing. Like Rolex. Do the right thing at the right time. When others are buying players, BUY. If you don't have good swimmers, BUY.
If you don't have great eggs, BUY. By doing that, you have made an effort. Making an effort, is like praying. Then let God answer your prayers.
There you go, hope you got something to learn from it.
