Born in the late 60's to a fifteen-year-old mother and an absent father, I was taken in at the age of nine months by my great grandparents. They adopted me when I was two.
I was precocious as a child and I'm sure my grandmother would add, quite loquacious. My grandmother took advantage of my inherent ability to learn and my inexorable desire to talk. She sat me down at the age of two, switch in hand, and began to teach me the story of the creation as revealed in Geneses 1-3. Once I had it committed to memory, my grandmother taught me to recite it with passion. She then took me from church to church, put a microphone in my hand and made me recite it before the congregation.
My grandmother said she was being obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in teaching me the Bible, thank God she did.
My grandfather was the one who taught me how to be a man. Born in 1909, he had to stop schooling in the second grade to help his parents who sharecropped. Because of this he stressed education and achievement. Though he passed away at the age of 83 in 1992, he is still very much with me. My grandmother passed recently, in March 2010 at the age of 92.
I am a proud father of seven ranging in age from 2 to 31. I consider each one a blessing from God. You will be introduced to each one individually through my writings. My children are a constant reminder of how much God loves me.
Thanks to my grandparents, I had a wonderful childhood. I was given an immense appreciation for scholarship and carried the natural gift of athleticism. Throughout school, I put both to use.
I have been blessed both in athletic achievement and in the attainment of academic knowledge. Both have contributed to my advancement in life.
I feel it necessary to give honorable mention to four people who had an enormous impact on my life. Ms. Geraldine François, my 4th-6th grade teacher. Ms. François was an accelerated learning teacher who saw something special in me and refused to accept anything less than my best. This included my handwriting. She said no one would ever discern the depth of my intelligence if they were not able to decipher my handwriting. To this day, my handwriting is identical to hers and most women find it humorously unbefitting a man.
Mr. Brewer was my seventh grade history teacher. He instilled the intrinsic value of self-discipline. Mr. Brewer was a former college instructor who discovered that man...
Life can become overwhelming for the most mature of Christian warriors. There can be those moments in which the pressure can be so intense and the storm seems quite vehement. It is these moments that you simply need a word to encourage, inspire and empower. With this in mind I decided to compile some of my work in one place. I wanted to create a resource that believers could pick up and read and feel the joy that I felt the day that the Holy Spirit placed the words in my heart.
Born to Win is the result of that endeavor. If the messages that you find in the book has the impact on you that in the same manner that they touched so many others, you will truly be blessed. I encourage you to ingest the words; meditate on them, and let them fill the voids that have been created by abandonment, disappointment, and delay. Let these messages lift you as they reveal your identity and your right to live life victoriously within the will of God.
The Book can be used as a read through, devotional, Bible Study, or meditational guide. I would encourage you to engage this book beyond the superficial reading; take it underline passages, and highlight others. Grab your Bible and the messages minister to you. I know oh so well how difficult it can be to engage the vicissitudes of life. I understand the pain associated with disappointment. A number of these passages were written while in the furnace of tribulation and darkness of despondency. God ministers to me as he feeds me through the revelation of His Word.
The enemy would have you to believe that you are helpless to your circumstances, but God wants you to know that a very heavy price has been paid so that you can walk in victory. You are a part of the Royal Family of God. You have been designed for greatness with a particular plan and destiny in mind. You have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which provides the anointing that empowers your walk. So I encourage you to take this book with the purpose of regaining your footing and strengthening resolve to engage the enemy and your struggles with the confidence that God is control and that he is working out everything for your good. Be blessed.
