CAPACITY BUILDING
***
As at the time I picked up my pen to work on this topic, I had already prepared another. But then, I had a pressing conviction at the 99th hour to write you this.
I wouldn't know why I feel this way but I'm most certain this message is for someone out here, yes you reading this.
So, you might be wondering, "what's so special about today's message?" 😊
Now, grab a seat with a glass of wine and glean to what I've gotten for you.
.
.
As at 2019, I was getting series of request to teach on my writing knowledge. Obviously, I wasn't prepared for the task at hand due to the fact that I was yet to gain clarity on the art and wouldn't want to give out half baked course coupled with the fact that I've never attended any writing training before. So, what information do I have to give out? I asked myself.
I just loved the idea of writing and my passion was vastly visible as I was keen on blessing souls through my messages.
.
.
I could also remember another time in 2019, I was asked...
"Between natural hairstyling and writing which can you forfeit for the other?"
In other words, which do you love the most?
Oh yes! I used to be a lover of natural hairstyling and I gave it my best shot then. I still do but my gaze has been shifted to writing.
.
.
So at first, I was confused at the question thrown at me but after a long breathe and deep thought, I was able to muster courage to decipher.
Read below my retort.
I have passion for both dexterities.
I love hairstyling not only for the fun of it but also as a side hustle in addition to my job. I style hair for profit but on the contrary, my passion for writing was only limited to inspiring lives through my messages. I wasn't writing for the monetary gain but to touch lives far and wide.
So, I answered and that was the end of the discussion.
Of which that question has given rise to the significance I see today.
Along the line, my interest in hairstyling began to dwindle with time as I started to embrace writing with a high velocity to affecting my world through my pen.
.
.
Early 2020 set the pace for thorough self development and capacity building and my craving desire to improve on all standpoints in writing knew no bound.
I began attending trainings upon trainings. I've even lost count of the number of trainings I've attended within the space of 2020 until now. I got awarded several certificates on several occasions, in the quest for knowledge and until now I'm still learning and my writing has greatly improved overtime.
.
.
This in turn, made the demand for my writing services be on the increase as the days roll by.
Today, I've gained mastery and clarity on content creation and I can confidently teach aspiring writers and authors without fear of cluelessness and I'm glad to have trained and certified writers in January and of course February session is in a bit.
This can only spell CAPACITY BUILDING at work.
Now, let me ask us...
What if I was lazy to take up such action and build up myself?
Possibly, you won't be reading from me today.
My guess is as good as yours.
So, read on!

A key lesson is drawn from the parable of the ten virgins.
You would agree with me that 5 were wise and 5 were foolish.
What makes the difference between the wise and the foolish virgins lies in what I call CAPACITY BUILDING.
.
.
While the foolish virgins were earnestly banking on the oil in their lamps only, the wise virgins already had extra oil with them.
Should their lamps go off, they would have nothing to fear.
While the bridegroom tarried, their lamps went off.
The wise had to refill their lamps with the EXTRA they have to keep them thriving while the foolish became confused and had nothing left on them.
Long story cut short...
The foolish missed their flight with the bridegroom as they were all out to get oil and couldn't return on time.
What does this tell you?
CAPACITY BUILDING.
I believe someone is catching the rhema hot hot?
