This is a story of a golf trainer,it will illustrate
the importance of thinking big and expecting big things from your Big God. This
trainer was invited by a wealthy and
powerful king to come and train him on
how to play golf. He taught the king for a couple of days and when he was about
to leave, the king summoned him to show his appreciation. He asked him, “What
can I do to show you how much I appreciate your kind gesture….” “Don’t bother”
the trainer replied. “You’ve been a wonderful host; I’ve enjoyed every bit of
my stay here. Getting to train you itself is a priviledge I will forever
appreciate.” But the king was adamant, He did not want the golfer to leave
without receiving something special. When the golfer realised this, he told the
king, ‘Okay…you can get me a golf club. He
was asking for a stick used to hit golf balls! The king was happy! On his
way back home, the golfer began to think and imagine the kind of golf club (stick)
that the king was going to send him. Was it going to be gold plated? Would it
have diamonds and jewelleries all over it? He was not sure. By the time he
arrived home, there was a mail waiting for him. It was a certified mail from
the king. He was wondering; is this my golf club(stick)? When he opened it, he
was shocked: it was the deed (legal papers) to a 500-acre 18 hole golf club(a
golf field). He almost passed out! The man was thinking about a golf club(a
stick for hitting golf balls), but the king was thinking about a golf club (a
large expanse of land where you can play golf). Just as the king exceeded the
golfer’s expectation. He is the King of Kings and His dreams are so much bigger than you can imagine.
Remember, you cannot be the child of a great God and remain small all your
life. Stretch yourself and reach out for something new. Think Big! Pray Big!
Ask Big! Plan Big! and Talk Big! This world will hear your story!
