If you're a firstborn child Please listen to this important message

So today I want to speak to every firstborn and especially to people who have become the first to do something in their family. First to travel abroad, first to start a business, first to go to the university, to enter a certain profession. The first to build something the family has never seen. Please understand something. Being the first is a blessing, but sometimes it's also a burden because you are the first, there's no blueprint whilst people are watching you. You are making mistakes while people are depending on you. And sometimes everybody you have come, but only a few people understand the pressure that comes with being the one everyone expects to make it. That is why I encourage you, don't commit yourself only to hard work, don't depend only on intelligence, determination and endurance. Commit seriously to God, commit to prayer, commit to building your faith, commit to becoming better everyday. Commit to protecting your mind, your character and your relationship with God. And I'll tell you something. Sometimes the greatest attacks come to the person carrying the greatest responsibility. And one of the dangers of becoming someone everyone depends on can be so busy saving others that you slowly begin to lose yourself. You are paying everyone's bills, you are solving everyone's problems, you are carrying everyone's expectations, trying to become the breakthrough your family has been praying for. But please remember this very importantly. You also need your strength from... because you cannot pour from an empty cup. But pray hard too. As you build your career, build your spirit. As you become successful, become grounded. And as God lifts you, stay close to the one who gave you the strength to climb. So this is my prayer for every firstborn and every person who is breaking new ground in their family. Fail you shall not. Trying to raise others, may God give you the wisdom to make the right decisions. May he give you strength even when you're exhausted. And when your strength begins to fail, may he restore you. May you not only be the first, but may you become something beautiful for everyone coming after you. It is really tough to be the firstborn extremely hard if you're the first to break grounds in your family. But may this prayer go a long way in making you great. May you be the reason your family also breaks through. And may you be the reason many people are helped. It is well with you now and forevermore. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Share this with a firstborn child you know or share this with someone who is the grounds in their family. Kwabena Afriyie Akoto-Bamfo. God bless you. See you in the next one.
