The Inevitable Correlation: Success Breeds Enemies – Bar. Banji Alabi
Achieving greatness comes with a price – the emergence of enemies. If you’re merely coasting through life, doing something unremarkable and uninspiring, you’ll likely sail through without ruffling any feathers. But the moment you start making waves, shattering records, and pushing boundaries in your field, be prepared for the inevitable backlash.
Gossips will start to circulate, envy will simmer just below the surface, and hatred will begin to brew. Detractors will emerge from the shadows, eager to tear you down and discredit your accomplishments. Why? Because your success exposes their own inadequacies and forces them to confront their own limitations.
If you don’t have enemies, it’s likely because you’re not doing anything impactful. You’re not challenging the status quo, you’re not innovating, and you’re not making a difference. You’re simply existing, not truly living.
But when you dare to be exceptional, when you refuse to be mediocre, and when you strive for greatness, you’ll attract enemies like a magnet. It’s a badge of honor, a testament to your influence and your impact.
So, don’t be afraid of enemies. Embrace them as a sign of your success. Remember, the greatest leaders, innovators, and change-makers throughout history have all faced fierce opposition. It’s a price they paid for their greatness, and it’s a price you must be willing to pay too.”

Moment Of Truth
Having enemies is a crucial part of God’s plan to elevate you to greater heights. Here’s why:
– Enemies allow God to demonstrate His power and favor in your life.
– Without them, you won’t reach your full potential.
– — Psalm 23:5 says, “God will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. He will anoint your head with oil; your cup overflows.” All these will be impossible, if you don’t have enemies :
Having enemies is part of the plan of God for your life , in order to secure victory
– Isaiah 54:15 reminds us that those who gather against you will fall for your sake.
Don’t give up! Turn your pain into fuel for your journey. Find joy within and let it burn out the pain. Remember:
– Every setback carries a seed of equal or greater benefit.
– Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are ready to take.
– Mistakes are facts of life; it’s your response that counts.
– Rise above the storm and celebrate your life!
You control your joy; don’t let anyone take it away. You were created in God’s image – you are excellent! Don’t let others recreate you. Keep your joy : Whatever they write or say about you are non of your business— it is their funeral: —- Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinion of dogs.
Go out this morning with “ Holy Anger” — I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me – Go out this morning , capture new territories, dominate your environments and command the respect of even your bitterest enemies
Rise up, friends, and conquer the day!
You will succeed! –
