NOT BY YOURSELF

‘A bottle of oil warmed over the fire has no means of producing oil by itself’

During rainy season, everywhere is expected to be cold. This general feeling of cold affects practically everything (both living and non living things). It is the time when most solid/concrete things get wet while oily liquid (especially palm oil and vegetable oil) become condensed.

So, until you warm the condensed oil over the fire, you may never get any drop of oil out of the bottle. This means that the oil in the bottle is useless until it passes through fire.

Like the condensed oil in the bottle, every human on earth has to pass through fire before producing oil. Your fire may be severe suffering; to some it may be the death of a loved one, to others it may be loss of job, sickness, accident, depression, loneliness, war or the real fire.

Whenever you pass through fire in life, remember that there won’t be oil without fire. No man prays for fire but when it comes, embrace it and move on with life. The purpose of the fire is never intended to destroy the bottle; it is only meant to make the oil more useful to humanity. If you fail to embrace your fire today, you may never become relevant in future.

A bottle of condensed palm oil can never produce oil by itself until it dances in fire. The bottle has no other special effect on the condensed palm oil apart from shelter. It doesn’t guarantee the production of oil. It takes fire to break the ice.

You can’t claim to be a teacher if you have no experience. Your success story won’t be interesting if there are no tales of fire, suspense or some tragic effects. Take time to learn; even while in the fire because one day there will soon be a comic relief.

Remember, your success story won’t be rich enough if there is no fire involved. A bottle of oil warmed over the fire has no means of producing oil by itself.
