Written by Apostle Pride Sibiya
1. AGE. I am too young/old!
- The devil never allows this excuse to pass you even in church activities e.g. you are called to achieve at whatever age you are at.
- Some people waste time thinking they are too you. When they are past the age they say they are too old.
- Bible: Jeremiah-too young.
- Moses - started his ministry at 80 years
- Jesus - Proved a threat to Herod as a baby, Made headlines in Jerusalem at the age of 12 among grey heads, Started ministry at 30 but made an impact in just 3 years.
- Nigel Chanakira started Kingdom at 26
- Nelson Mandela remarried in old age.
2. EDUCATION. I am under/over-educated
- If you are under-educated it is not too late to go to school especially in Zimbabwe where schooling is everywhere and anytime.

| Inspired: Wow, Powerful! Bishop On No More Excuses! |
- Bible: Peter was virtually uneducated but had the apostolic authority and anointing.
- Ezekiel Guti, Mensah Otabil,
3. FAMILY BACKGROUND.
We are from a poor background
- Bible: Jephthah was born to a harlot yet became a judge of Israel
- Be discontent with your past
4. TIME.
- I do not have time to do it, or even to come to church…I will never do it, it is too late.
- Henry Ford: you cannot build a reputation on what you will do
- Identify the things which give you the highest returns and follow those, procrastination is the thief of time.
- Every beggar has no watch. Colossians 4:5
5. MARITAL EXCUSES.
- I am not married, I am married. Everything in life is an excuse if you want to use it
- Bible: Isaiah married to a prophetess, he did well. He is a major prophet.
- Ezekiel was a single parent, he did well. He is a major prophet.
- Jeremiah was not married, even Paul. He says those married should live as though not! (1 Cor 7:29-35). Ezekiel is a major prophet, Paul is the greatest Apostle.
6. FINANCIAL EXCUSES.
- If I had the money, I would, I need capital
- The Word of God is your capital
- Where there is a vision, the provision will follow
- The little you have is sufficient to start
- Nigel Chanakira started with Z$32 000
7. BUSY.
- Some people just imagine that they are busy.
- Check if you are not bust doing nothing
- Focus on priorities: major the major and minor the minor
8. EXPERIENCE.
- I do not have the experience
- The only way to gain experience is to start doing what you want to get experience in.
9. SICKNESS AND DISABILITY.
- I am too sick to do anything
- Hellen Keller, born deaf dumb and blind but developed herself to a prolific writer. She wrote, “life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” She also wrote, “the only thing than being blind is to have sight but without vision”
- Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd President of America is the only one to be re-elected for four times yet he ruled America from a wheel-chair after being hit by polio at 39
- Beethoven a legend of classical music is still celebrated today for his compositions yet was deaf
- That you are sick and disabled does not mean you are dead! Give up on doing things, only when you are dead
10. PAST FAILURE OR FEAR OF FAILURE.
- Successful people are familiar with failure, are not afraid of it and know each other, only that they refuse to be overcome by failure
- Big shots are small shots that keep firing
- The destruction of a man is not in his fall but in his failure to rise up again.
- Strive Masiiwa failed lots of companies before he hit it with Econet Wireless
- Thomas Edison failed a thousand times before the light bulb came.
- The Wright brothers failed a lot and their father told them off.
Receive Jesus Christ today and go to church for spiritual fellowship.
