Anoda pain of ex-champions is loneliness.While maintainin deir lead position,wherever dey go,virtually every1 would like 2 touch dem,shake deir hands,tak photographs wit dem nd get deir autographs.Bt wen dey bcom ex-champions,pple would see dem nd face d opposite direction.A lady was occupyin a hot seat in an organization.She was d toast of d high nd mighty nd dat of her colleagues.She got deir attension nd received gifts 4rm many bcus dey depended on her 4 certain favours.U can imagine wat happened wen she was moved 4rm dat seat;all d attention,care,pleasantness nd gifts immediately shifted 2 d next person occupyin dat position.She could nt believe d speed wit which dose courtin her favours took deir flight.It was den she realised dat pple did nt really regard her bt d seat she occupied,nd dey did nt really care abt her,bt abt wat dey were 2 derive 4rm her.She realised hw vain pple were. Hav u ever wondered y many African presidents nd governors neva want 2 leave deir offices; bcus wen u re a champion,pple can stop vehicles 4rm plyin a particular road jst 2 honour u. Dere was dis broda,he was a divine champion.He could nt speak English bt 1day,he was invited 2 preach in a teacher trainin college.As he opened his mouth,he began speakin fluent English 4 an hour nd dereafter,many answered d altar call.He was full of d Holy Spirit nd raised 3 dead pple 2 life.His mother was in a cult nd she reported him bcus he burnt her charms.On 1 fateful night,she did nt sleep in d house while her cult members sent a dog 2 kill him.It entered while he was prayin wit d doors locked,nd he shouted d name of Jesus nd lightnin struck it dead.By d followin mornin,wen his mother returned 2 d house expectin 2 meet her dead son,she found him roastin d dog.Yet,afta all his exploits,pride entered him nd he later ended up in an asylum.Pride can erode all ur strength nd gains nd turn u in2 an ex-champion like d devil.Never let it come in2 u! In Christ,u can remain ever relevant.
