"I have all gifts on earth minus one....Patience to do what the devil wants me to do. My bible taught me a lot about taking some things in my life by force. People do tell me sometimes take it easy, God didn t tell me to take things easy, He says take Charge. Some people do tell me to be careful! But my bible didn t tell me to be careful but it says I should be careful for nothing. Some people tell me to take time but my bibles says take charge. Some people says be patient but my bible says whatever your hands finds to do, do it quickly.So don t only memorise your weakness, try to saturate your strength with the power of God, always have an alternative for any negative suggestion."
