In June 1667, the Dutch Navy sailed up the Medway River in England and caught the English unprepared. This daring invasion (popularly called THE BATTLE OF CHATHAM) brought the second Anglo-Dutch war to an end.

Though the English were defeated, they celebrate that defeat every year In June, because IT TAUGHT THEM VALUABLE LESSONS THAT LED TO AN UPGRADE OF THE ENGLISH NAVY! Yes!







     That defeat of the British led to a huge investment in ships and dockyard facilities, laying the foundation of British supremacy at sea for 200 years and contribution to economic success and the growth of the empire which ruled the world. 







 I visited that  Chatham dockside and exclaimed "wow!" A great success story out of shame and defeat? Yes! Such is life and likewise, is it not amazing that heaven can turn what the devil meant for bad into good.




 He has done it before in many lives and u cannot be an exception. God can turn any setback in any area of your life ( e.g, delay, failure, late education or early/late marriage,etc), to a positive tool for your generation. 


 Stop crying and lamenting! Good can come out of bad events. For example, people who are short physically, have used their statures to become millionaires.  

Thomas Edison said, "I failed my way to success." We learn by our failures, not our fortunes! Necessity/ lack are the mothers and aunties of inventions.

What will u let this problem do to u? Your reaction to the problem is the bottom line. It can make u better or bitter. It can make u tougher or tender. The choice is yours my people!

There was a man with big/funny looking nose in America. His friends and people laughed at him, but today he has made millions from using it to act.








  Remember those who wait on the lord can bear the weight of adversity! So stop crying!






Thank u!!
