Olajumoke : There is Dignity in Labour




The story of Olajumoke the bread seller turned supermodel is quite miracle. But underneath the whole glory we all should see the true success story in all these which is ; dignity in labour.

Here ia a summary of the whole story in case u didn't read it.
Olajumoke was a bread seller and was hawking bread on the street on Lagos,  Nigeria and Mistakenly/fortunately walked into a video set of Ty Bello & American rapper Tinie Tempah. And the rest is history.

Why she isn't just lucky;
She woke up that day, getting ready for the work of the day(bread selling) To her, she went out to sell bread to make money. The motive of the bread selling was to Make Money. Which is what she achieved.

Laziness is a sin- She wasn't lazy. She was hard working. Hawking isn't for lazy people. It involves carrying about 20 loaves of bread on your head and walking down the streets hoping people are hungry for your bread and buy.

Little Beginnings- She wasn't proud. She brought herself low to sell bread. Even though she was pretty. She somehow believed that bread selling would get her outta poverty. And it really did. Mysteriously.

Never ashamed - This is why i say there is dignity in labour. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people, they will be too ashamed to see bread. Some will rather settle for maybe cleaner jobs in office and earn N10,000 ($30) a month. But she wasn't ashamed of hawking bread. She sold bread with pride, always dressed good. When your work becomes pleasure to you, you get to shine.

Boldness- She was bold, bold enough to even walk past the video shoot. Some other bread-sellers with inferiority complex would have avoided the shoot entirely or maybe looked for alternative route. But she was sure, confident of herself. I'm sure maybe she just even wanted to appear on TV. Something she never dreamt would happen to her.
Psalm 113:5-8 -Who is like unto the LORD our God, Who dwelleth on high, He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That He may set him with princes,even with the princes of his people. 
My beloved Fans, I tell you all, as long as you doing your work diligently, and with God on your side...your day of success/glory/favour is closer than you think. it's today, it is right now.....CHeers....I come your way with more truths soonest.
