“If There Is A Burden In Your Heart, Do It.” — Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere

Executive, you, yes you. I don't know why the Spirit of Truth is urging me to post this on social media; where as it should be published on Didi-Omah Diary on doacWeb and link shared on social media platforms possible.

If there is a burden in your heart, do it. That which is good, do it. If there be any virtue in the burden in your heart, just do it. Burden is a driving force to your vision, burdens are driving force to God's right path for us. The Bible and the principles of life have taught us that most people get to the point of their destiny through burden.

And Jesus Christ has the burden to save mankind from sin and hell, and He offered Himself as a sheep ready to be slaughtered. Without opening His mouth at His accusers because He is the one that chooses the path, and God the father forsake Jesus Christ on the cross. What a great burden?

If you don't have any vision for your life, take time to find the bearing for your life, and that will come as a result of burden. It is either the Holy Spirit places a burden in your heart, or situation do so, or mankind speak to you and that burden just drops in your heart. What I am hearing is whatsoever burden you have in your heart, Executive, do it. As far as it is for good and have good reports — just do it.

Don't be busy for God and be guilty at the end. Most people are doing the good thing but not the right thing. The enemy of right is good. It is important to know that the devil can distract you by engaging you in doing the good thing and abandoning the right thing Adonay has purposed for you. I will like you to know, the devil can use what is good and not only that which is bad to destroy a man. Distraction is a dangerous weapon of the devil. The devil can use church to distract a man and disconnect him from the purpose God designed for that man.

Find the right thing to do for your life and do it. Not the good thing, if you want to be free from God's anger. Whatsoever burden in your heart, seek God and do it. If there is a political system that you have a strong burden to change, it's there in your heart — Executive, you are called to be a politician, go for it. If there is a burden in your heart towards helping the poor and educating them — then you are called into charity and empowerment, go for it. 

If there is a burden in your heart for evangelism mission, then you are called to be an evangelist: join a Bible believing church and be an evangelist under that church as Apostle Paul did — not called to own a church, you are called to be under a ministry while evangelizing for Jesus Christ. Don't go and own a church except the God that calls you, tell you to do so. 

If you have a burden towards growing churches, being a co-worker with God in the kingdom. Executive, go and start a church, you are called into ministry and church business. Go and be a Shepard of the sheep in your own fold. If you have a burden of job generation like Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere. At the age of 12 years old, I will never forget, when we were living in Batcher house, made of wood and baffroom made of zinc in Rumueme, Rivers State. There is a difference between baffroom and bathroom — those who have housing issues will understand.

We were living there for ten years, became tenant in a public compound that the toilets are far from the living room, we spent four years there. And around September to October 2018 after my WAEC, we hit the big breaks. We become rich landlord in the town of Rumuekini, Rivers State.

Now money is not a problem, rich landlord with well to do tenants as neighbours. Even the compound will tell you that the rent might be costly. That's not my point, my point is that, when I was 12 years old, I came across a book, and I asked the same questions that the author asked God. And I wrote it down in my jotter, and kept asking God. I want you to know, it is was at that same age, My Millionaire Father, Engr. Omah John Didi gave me his Goodnews Bible to start personal Bible study.

I love reading the book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes until I was 14 years old. Here is the link, at my hereabouts 13 years old, God put a burden of owning businesses and helping people. I wrote it down, the Spirit of Truth, then what did I know about Holy Spirit. It will come to my heart, and I will say 'something tell me'. Said to me get a new book and a pen, I did so. It started telling me list of new names that have never existed before, and said, name your company. I was talking to someone unseen. My Amazing Mother, Mrs. Didi-Omah Charity Chikodi, will be saying, Chinaza why are you talking to yourself and what are you writing.

That burden grew bigger and bigger. Who to study, what to read, the business to open. It was the Spirit of Truth that said to me during one Internet Marketing Class at my SS 2 when Mr. Andy, our marketing teacher was teaching on blogging. It said to me, start blogging because you can write, and people will patronise you. So, If you have a burden of job generation, you are called into business — start with the skills you have, and learn from giants that have made billions of money, not millions oooh! I said billions of money and become global through business. Start from where you are, with the skills you have.

Executive, whatsoever burden in your heart — that's the direction of your life. Yours can be a good schooling system, like Rev. Dr. Bob Joshua of Zion International High School, then go and build that school — own campuses in every states of the country, Nigeria. I mean, one school branch in one state; that is to say you own a standard big difference good effective school that cover primary and secondary section — in the 37 states of Nigeria and a headquarter in the place of your choice or as directed.

As at my teenage years, I was instructed to build my business headquarters in Egbeda, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. I was instructed to live there with my family. At teenage years, I was in JSS section of the secondary education. I told my mother this, she knows about it, she was the one saying 'God forbid'. Egbeda, that wicked community, that place is underdeveloped, no lights, not good roads, and the people love juju. I told her, that one concern you, I am going. Today, Egbeda is a good place for business growth for everyone. Go and asked my mother — she can tell better.

My father may be confused on what I am becoming but my mother is not confuse. Because she knows everything happening, through vision from God as a woman of God, and from my mouth. I went to study Computer Science, and venture into web service as a business. She knows that even if I graduated from Agriculture, I must have a agric business — because God can use anything to confirm His Word.

Whatsoever burden in your heart, go for it. Let me show you some illustrations. Jacob has a burden of sheep business, and he assisted his uncle — while still serving his uncle, he made his own wealth and departed from his uncle. David have a burden to lead, and he started with sheeps — fought and defended the sheeps against wild animals. When Goliath came making noises, David was uncomfortable with it, and that's a spirit of a leader in burdened. No wonder, God said He searches the hearts and not move by the face.

Nehemiah has the burden of returning to Jerusalem, and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. And God said, I am looking for a man that will stand in the gap, not a crowd, just a man with burden for my people. And God grant Nehemiah his desires, today in Israel Nehemiah is seen as a prophet and as a leader. Burdens are driving force to destinations. What is in your heart, what is giving you that troubling spirit — and until you achieved it you cannot rest it.

Elon Musk had burdens that drive him into doing whatever he is doing. Listen to his interviews, everything is thinking and imagination — these are byproducts of burden. Aliko Dangote took over from his wealthy grandfather Dantata, and was selling food commodity. Then in the 19s, Aliko Dangote had this burden to venture into cement manufacturing, and today the cement business took him to the African wealthiest man and since 2004 till date, no one in Africa can bring him down. He had this burden to solve the long queue on Christmas day for Nigerians to buy fuel. He established Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which is the biggest in Africa. Burdens!

Since NYSC, Bishop David Oyedepo have this burden not choice, burden for church growth and to kill the word: As Poor As A Church Rat. Because those days, pastors are poor in finance, in appearance, in everything. Since NYSC, and after his service year, he began working for Federal Ministry of Housing and Works, yes Bishop David Oyedepo graduated from the Polytechnic like me. And while there, he was learning how to construct buildings but the burden was stronger than the job.

He once became a teacher in school, yet the burden was there. He prayed hard, the burden became stronger. He have to resign and venture into ministry fully. Today, we celebrate him, Bishop David Oyedepo. Burdens are driving force to destinations. So what is your burden. Moses had a burden not to see Israelites suffering, never knew he is their leader and deliverer — till date, the people of Israel still respect and keep the customs as given to Moses by God.

Burden. I say take it, meditate on it, pray over it, plan it, address it, and just do it. That might be the steps to your topmost top of your life. Executive, whatsoever burden in your heart, do it. More Success To You!
