Its the season of birthing!!

September represents a chance to birth something NEW! This 9th month of the year, can be compared to the process and stages of childbirth. In the pregnancy stages, a woman endures discomfort, many changes, contractions, and labor intensive pain to ultimately birth a child. In order for a mother to give birth and deliver her child, she has to push!

There are some goals, dreams, creative ideas, and business plans that you desire to birth and bring to fruition, but it won’t happen unless you push through the obstacles. You’ve got to push through the tears, push through the haters and naysayers, push through odds, and push through negative thoughts in order to give birth to the reality of your dreams!

Don’t you realize that you’re pregnant with purpose, promise, and possibility? Don’t let anyone or anything abort your purpose, possibility, and potential! When you know, WHO you are and WHOSE you are…there’s nothing that can stop you.


Wherever you reside on this African Continent, adopt the mindset to see the words “I CAN” as an AFRICAN. The last 4 letters in the word “African” should inject with you a spirit to say “I CAN” open the business, birth my vision, become a millionaire, contribute to my community, attain my education, overcome obstacles, believe in my dream, and make it through any situation. Say to yourself, “I CAN can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
