JAMES AUDUBON

January 02, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 4 views

Prov27:8-As a bird wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place (Purpose). Emphasis mine.

James Audubon was a lover of nature and he had keen interest in hunting for birds. Early in life, he went to school like everyone and he decided to work for some companies but he resigned because he wasn't fulfilled. He entered into business but it failed.

He decided to help himself out of his serial failures. He went hunting for birds in America. He travelled extensively through out America for this adventure. He painted different birds in America and he began to sell it. His works later sold for a million dollar with the popular title called 'Birds of America'.

James Audubon discovered his area of strength and pursued it vehemently. He met with frustration when he was working outside his area of divine design. If you will succeed this year, you must labour within the confines of what you're graced for. Don't try to do what 'they' are doing but do what you are naturally good at doing.

Don't labour on another man's field this year, discover your purpose, area of strength and passion.

Action point
  • Father, reveal my hidden potentials to me and help me to work on it In Jesus name.
