The Bible says in Matthew 20:22, KJV: “But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
They say unto him, We are able.”
The above scripture was where Jesus was asking Zebedee’s wife and her two sons if they can go through what he’s about going through or have gone through to qualify to sit on his right and left side in heaven respectively…?
It is very important to wish to be like someone but are you ready to bear the same cross that person has carried?
Before you wish to be like your mentor, don’t just be amused or inspired by the Product he or she has become but pay attention to the Process he or she might have gone through and try to fit yourself in!
Young woman, you’ve vowed to be like Oheneyere Gifty Anti, that’s nice, but can you drink of her cup? Can you stand the harsh comments she endured when she was not married and given birth at age 40+?
You want to be like H.E Nana Addo Dankwa, well he failed severally in his bid to be President but never coiled back. Are you ready to still be like him or you only want to be the Presidential side of him and not his MP and candidate Akufo Addo days?
Yes, H.E John Mahama is a fine politician you want to emulate but don’t forget he started as a baby politician from the Assembly level. Are you ready to crawl as he did?
My brother, have you met your mentor or done a proper background check to know what exactly he or she has been through so you can brace up?
Ladies and gentlemen, before you so wish to be like a particular somebody, be ready to go through the furnace, get ready for the rough roads, and be resilient.
Try to walk in their shoes, and not profess it by mouth.
