People Fall Into One Of Three Groups.
There are those who make things happen. They will do everything and whatever it takes to make things happen. They know the thing to make happen, the risks and costs involved, but they have resolved that nothing will stop them. But FEW they are in this group.
Then there are those who watch things happen. They may have the idea of what to make happen, but the fear of the risks involved, the price to pay or the sacrifice they have to make, make them watch from the fences. MANY they are in this group of those who just watch things happen by the few who make things happen.
Finally there are those who have no idea of what is happening. In other words, they see things happening but cannot comprehend what’s going on. This is the group of the overwhelming masses.
In his book, “Understanding Your Potential”, the late Dr Myles Munroe says a person either puts color into his environment, or, like a chameleon, takes color from his environment. That is, one either makes things happen, putting color into the environment, or compromises to their circumstances, ever undecided.
Refuse To Just Conform To Your Environment Like A Chameleon.
Against the odds, the risks involved, the high price you must pay to make it happen, and the fear of failure, decide what you want to make happen. Then once decided, take action and do it to the best of your ability and leave an impact for the generations to come. You’ll be chronicled down the annals of history as one woman or man who made something happen.
Every human being on the face of the earth was created in the likeness of God. As such, we all posses the seed and innate ability to make great things happen. You can use your natural creative skills to make things happen. You can use the education you have attained to make things happen.
Thomas Edition is said to have had a darkness phobia. He decided to make something happen that would provide light in the dark of the night. After failing a thousand times, he was not discouraged. Edition finally invented the electric light bulb we enjoy today. He made it happen. You too can make something happen for humanity. Let your fears arouse creativity.
God Is Ready To Grant You His Support.
God is ready to help you where and when you notice your own limitations against what you want to make happen. You can pray to Him for additive skills to make your dream come to pass. Everything you need to make things happen is within you, and what you lack is only a prayer away. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you,” Mathew 7:7.
James 1:5 says “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. Ask in faith, with no wavering.”
At creation God used His own self inherent powers to make things happen. He spoke the universe and all its contents into existence, Genesis 1 and 2. And when it came to His most prized creation, with His own hands He Himself made you and Luke Divines fearfully and wonderfully (Psalm 139). You possess the creative ability of the Creator. Emulate God and make things happen (Ephesians 5:1).
You Have A Special Purpose In This Life
There is something that only you can do and do it the best. There’s a business that you can excel in above the rest in your sphere. A company that you are the only one who can run with exceptional skills and take it to heights unattained before you and unattainable after you. That’s how special and unique you are in this world. You have a purpose. Discover it, pursue it, and make things happen in your sphere.
You can get married and make your marriage work at an age considered late and in an environment or home where other siblings have failed or just given up. You can live uprightly and raise godly kids in a morally rotting world like ours where immorality is adored, situational ethics are the norm, and where morality is now regarded as uncivilised and outdated.
There is nothing you cannot make happen. You can be the best ever usher in your church. You can pastor the largest church in a place where many are only pastoring average or small congregations. You can pray prayers that will send demons packing, set the oppressed free and the sick healed. You can make things happen.
Make Things Happen That Are Of Great Value, Which Produce Positive Effects
Not everything people make happen is of real significance or positive effect. Thieves and murderers make terrible things happen, leaving behind nothing but a trail of pain and stress for individuals, households or whole communities. Men and women make things happen that only break hearts and homes. Leaders who loot public funds impoverish citizens. Making the wrong things happen is inglorious.
But if what you make happen things that can change one life positively, mend one broken life or bleeding heart around you or online, that is positive, significant and of immense value to the individual and society. Th impact will be felt far and deep
And if what you make happen can impact more lives economically, physically or spiritually, you are making things happen that will make history and outlive you. This is what the Creator had designed you for. Do not help the Destroyer make life unbearable for others, but help the Creator make life a pleasure for humanity around.
Help Others Make Things Happen
In my limited sphere of influence, I have made some things work exceptionally well. I encourage others no matter what I am facing myself. That’s one way I make things happen. I pray with friends online/offline over issues beyond our human control. After we’ve made prayers happen, God takes over and makes answers happen.
I have edited and produced books for people who had great skills in other fields but limited in book writing and production skills. Some were good writers already needing only editing and production. But others would never have had a byline on any literary work because no publisher would have been interested in their works as unpolished as they were.
They used their limited writing skills and spent some money. Then I brought in some complementary editorial and production skills. I took their manuscripts, worked through them and things happened professionally.
Together we made things happen. Today they are proud authors speaking to the world from wherever they are. With just one medium of a book there is no limit to their outreach scope online and offline.
You can do the same. Make things happen. Help others make things happen instead of just watching things or waiting for someone to make them happen. Stop waiting for a person who may never come. YOU are that SOMEONE you have been waiting for! Arise, make that thing happen
Make Things Happen With Large Heart
Do not be selfish. Helping others make things happen is one way of making things happen in life. You are not here on earth solely for yourself. You are God’s instrument for helping others make things happen and attain their goals in life.
If you will not help someone make something happen, someone else will, and you will only watch things happen in their lives – things that you could have helped them make happen. The man or woman whose marriage proposal you proudly ignored and rejected later got someone and settled down with, and together today they are making things happen.
But God is not through yet with you. His mercies still endure for ever for you. You have other chances. Avail yourself to help others in various ways and areas, and be sensitive to God’s leadings this time round.
We must make things happen in our own spheres or domains. You and Luke are here for a purpose. Use your profession to make things happen for yourself and others in your banking world, hospitality sphere, engineering field, manufacturing, etc.
Finally the ball is in your court. Will you MAKE things happen, WATCH things happen, or like a chameleon simply take color of the things happening around you in a passive, compromised state?

This is a good start to educate our people the purpose of our lives and “being”! Is it only to accumulate wealth while others are suffering? We need to further re-examine who we are and why we must coexist in this planed.
Ecclesiastes 1:2
Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:11
Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 6:2
A man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil.
Ecclesiastes 6:12
For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?
Summary: Vanity is evil. The excessive pride is the excessive self-love and money
Nyariki Otoyota
My brother Nyariki Otoyota, may God bless you abundantly for taking your time to write such a wonderful, insightful and corrective response.
I couldn’t have put it better. Indeed as I said, our political leaders have only made terrible things happen that have affected many people’s lives negatively. Our situation in back here at home is a case in point. An artificial hunger for the masses. Where farmers’ maize is rotting in their stores eaten up by weevils because the government refused to buy it at just a few hundreds more that the farmers demanded at least to recover cost. Yet now our people in the North and Rift are dying of hunger as the rich make terrible things happen and still deny there is any death subsequent to the famine
It has now come back to us the poor citizens to have mercy on our own country men and women, to MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN POSITIVELY BY RAISING FUNDS AND COLLECTING FOOD to save our dying fellow.
AGAIN, GOD BLESS YOU FOR LEAVING A COMMENT THAT MANY WILL READ AND BE BLESSED WITH.
A powerful reading, ‘am that someone I have been waiting for to cause change’; thanks brother.
God bless you abundantly my good brother and friend Festus Ogada Otieno.
Change can only be achieved by the few courageous and those ready to redeem, a good piece for those ready to read
God bless brother Anselm. Yes, we will make things happen. Even in our country, yes we will.
