You Are More Than You Think
If Cockroaches can dance, why can’t you?
By Emmanuel Igwe | Publisher: Xlibris
About the book
There is an African proverb that says, \"A cockroach knows how to sing and dance, but it is the hen that prevents it from performing its art during the day.\" What does this mean? Well, in many African villages it is not uncommon to see a hungry hen running around pecking at the ground for its meal of cockroaches scurrying about. But, without the hindrance of its enemy, the hen, the cockroach would be free to demonstrate all that it´s skilled to do. My question is if cockroaches can dance in the face of danger, why can´t you? What hen, giant, king or obstacle is holding you from being all that you´re created for? Why did you stop using your God given talents and gifts in the service of his kingdom? Who has turned you against yourself, emasculated you and frozen your potentials? Now is the time to declare to that mountain to be removed and be cast into the sea (Matt 17:20); To that tumultuous and raging situation, peace be still (Mark 4:39) to that giant \" I am well able to overcome you (Numbers 13:30); to that king Nebuchadnezzar terrorizing your life \"My God is able to deliver me (Daniel 3:17) and to that circumstance, like Jesus \"I will rise again (Matt 27:63) For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD (PSALM 27:5- 6). If cockroaches can dance in the face of its enemy, I can too.
