5. Emeasoba George:

   Anyone who dares to speak or live positively notwithstanding his or her plight or ordeal and as well, he or she is always grateful to God for all things. Then, God will surely sooner or later make him or her a wonder to himself or herself or the world and even to the posterity ahead. Let's take king David as a case study. He (David) spoke or lived positively and all his lifetime he was often praisefulbor grateful to God even against all odds. No wonder, God took him to be a man after his own heart and eventually he (God) made him (David) the most celebrated king of Israel. Moreover, even his son Solomon was not left out. As a matter of fact, God also made him (Solomon) a wonder by endowing him with divine wisdom or great insight and that's why he was able to write 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. Above all, he (Solomon) became the richest or wisest king ever according to the scripture. Now, do you long to be a wonder all-round? If Yes, then go ahead and think, speak, live and act positively. Also, dare to be grateful to God for all things even against all odds. For, God is ever ready or capable to equally make you a wonder to your ownself, generation, the world or posterity ahead. -Emeasoba George
