According to Martin Luther king Junior “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moment of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. Turning an obstacle or a problem to your advantage is the first necessary step towards success and victory. When you encounter problems or obstacles, you will discover things about yourself that you never really knew. Challenges make you stretch; they make you go beyond the norm.

Mike Murdock says, “If God cushioned your every blow, you would never learn to grow”. Never let your problem take the lead. You must take the lead. The challenge or the problem you face is simply an opportunity for you to do your best. So, take problem as part of life. It is a must, either you pray against problem or not it will surely come. Problems and challenges make our world an interesting place to live. However, problem is good when you know how to move with God. For every problem or challenge, God has an answer.

(Here Are Stories That Will Change The Way You Think-“Your Financial Mind-Set ”)

John Foppe hails from Breeze, Illinois in the United Stated. He is the fourth of eight sons born to Ronald Carol Foppe. He hated his life as a young boy and wished he weren’t born at all. He always wondered why he has to be born without arms. Despite his handicapping condition, he realized and thought that he should take responsibility for achieving his financial independence.

John Foppe writes with his feet, cooks with your feet, dresses with his feet, drives his own car and he is married with wedding rings on one of his toes. According to John, he believed our real handicapped are those mental and emotional ones that prevent us from participating fully in life. By applying his own experience as well as the unique insights, John has developed as a trained counselor and motivational speaker. He advises people on how to confidently confront adversity and discover their own dynamic potential for productivity and fulfillment. He has traveled throughout the North America, Southeast Asia and Europe for more than fifteen years delivery high-impact presentation on attitudinal change, problem solving and performance improvement to corporations and organizations.

John Foppe is the author of a personal growth and inspirational book entitled, “What’s your excuse?” Making the most of what you have”. He holds a master’s degree in social services from St. Louis University. While the sight of how he tackles life with his toes will amaze you, once you hear his speech, you will not be looking at him; you will be looking at yourself. John Foppe will take away your excuses and arm you with a new perspective on life. He earns up to $5, 000 per presentation as he is always called by leading companies in America and across the world to address their workers.

People are both inspired and amazed at his story. But mostly, he makes them think about their own lives. The one statement he particularly hears from his audience is that you have taken away all my excuses! Indeed the life of John Foppe has really given his audience new attitude.

There was a cripple born in Kwara State of Nigeria. His parents were very old that he had to go on the street with his wheel chair to beg for money to feed himself and his old mother. He later relocated to Lagos to continue his begging business and he kept sending money to his old mother. One day, he realized that he could develop himself academically since he has everything it takes to learn (brain, hands, eyes etc). So he registered for extra-mural classes which he started attending at the close of the day from his lucrative job.

In no distant time, he got admission into the prestigious university of Lagos to study law. He single handedly sponsored his university education until he got to 3rd year when his state government looked into his struggles and offered him a scholarship.

Twenty five years ago, a young man dropped out of secondary in a reverine area following the death of his father. His mother could not cope with the financial burden. Being the first of four children, he had to do something to assist his siblings. He provided a means for transporting people from one side of the river to the other. Initially, he was using manual ferry until he was able to save a little money and purchased a machine which can be attached to the local canoe that could make the business faster and easier. Today, he has registered a company and he made so much money in the reverine area of Nigeria.

Today, we are deeply blessed with the songs like; Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Savior, Blessed Assurance, Rescue The Perishing and so on. We are deeply challenged to know that the songwriter was a blind woman. Fanny Crosby, one of the greatest songwriter of all time was born in New York City, USA on March 24, 1820. She was only six weeks old when she became blind through a sickness and remained so for the rest of her life. But she was fortunate enough to be blessed with a godly grandmother who nurtured her early life from the Holy Bible thereby developing in her a deep love for God and his works. She has an encounter with the lord who also was the source of her inspiration to write with the number of songs that touched the lives of many.

As a young girl in the Methodist church in New York, she could repeat from memory the first five books of the bible as well as many of the Psalms, Proverbs, Ruth, Songs of Solomon and most of the New Testament. She gained admission into an institution for the blind where she received excellent education. She was in this institution for 23 years, first as a student and then as a teacher. It was there she met and got married to Mr. Alexander Van Alystne, another lover of music who was also blind. The marriage was blessed with a child who died in infancy. Afterward, they lived happily for 44 years until Alexander’s death in 1902. Fanny Crosby has a philosophy never to allow her condition to disturb the peace of her soul. Her life was one filled blessed assurance, which incidentally happened to be one of the titles of her soul-lifting songs.

Starting from 1865 to 1905, she produced about 200 songs each year. In her lifetimes, she wrote more than 8, 000 religious poems, many of which were set in music and distributed to many countries.

No one is totally immune from life’s reverses or troubles, trials and trauma. But while some soar above its gravitational force, others crumble under its weight. Reports have it that once Fanny Crosby was invited by the U.S Congress to recite her poems, while she reads, the touching-poems, tears freely flowed from the eyes of the congress-men. Although, she knew life’s heartaches and sorrows, Fanny achieved more than many able-bodied men and women did during her life time. She never allowed her physical limitations to bury her innate abilities. Thus, she who was supposed to be succored by others became a succorer of many.

She ministered life to numerous lives through talks. Fanny was also given to hospitality, she comforted a neighbor who lost her daughter and that same night she went home to glory on February 11, 1915 in good health after living a fulfilled 95 years on earth. Fanny Crosby’s life teaches us that God uses life’s reverses to move us forward.

You really don’t have excess. There is no good reason for you to fail and there is no good enough reason to be poor. There is always ability in disability. Those who make something out of life are those who are determined to make something out of nothing. It does not really matter your condition, your background, race, colour and sex. Your life stands for something. You must make a valuable contribution to your world. Everything you are or everything will be is up to you. You are where you are today because that is where you have chosen to be.

The former U.S President Theodore Roosevelt said that, “do what you can, with what you have, right where you are. That is what I did and it has worked for me.

A word is enough for the wise.

My Dear, please, let me stop here for now and leave you with this portion from the (Holy Bible in Hosea Chapter 4 verse 6) that says, people perish because of lack of knowledge. And remember also that, Knowledge is all about information and information rule the whole wide World and the different between you and others is what you know more than them.
