The Power of Building Resilience” By Prudent Ludidi

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Life is unpredictable. It’s full of twists and turns. Some days are easy others are hard.

But no matter what life throws at you, you have a choice, you can let challenges break you, or you can build resilience.

Resilience is the strength to withstand, to bounce back, to adapt, to overcome, it’s the power to face adversity head-on, to transform obstacles into opportunities, to turn setbacks into stepping stones!

Building resilience is not about being invincible. It’s about being human, it’s about acknowledging your vulnerabilities and working on them.

Resilience is built in both small and big moments of the everyday choices we make!

To get up when you’re tired, keep going when you’re struggling, to push through when you’re doubting. It’s built in the habits you form.

It’s important to understand that resilience is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving, growing, becoming stronger, more confident and more compassionate.

When you build resilience, you open yourself up to possibilities, you take risks, you innovate, you create and inspire.

So, how do you build resilience?
You start small.
You take care of yourself.
You practice self-compassion.
You seek support.
You focus on the present.
And you keep moving forward.
One step at a time.
Resilience is not a destination it’s a journey!

Because when you build resilience, you unlock your true potential to withstand unplanned inconveniences in your life.

You become unstoppable.
You achieve greatness.
You inspire others.

And you create a ripple effect of resilience that touches everyone around you.
Remember, resilience is not something you have or you don’t.

It’s something you build, day by day, moment by moment, choice by choice.
So, choose to build resilience, face your fears, push through challenges, choose to rise above obstacles, choose to become the best version of yourself!

You’re capable of thrive and succeed!

According to the governor, the street was named in recognition of the good works done by the late father of Primate Ayodele and the continuation of the good works by the prophet. He also recognized the efforts of the prophet to drive economic growth in the community.

Primate Ayodele embraced the development while expressing appreciation to the governor for honouring God in such a manner. The prophet applauded the governor for his efforts towards bringing development to Ikere-Ekiti and promised that the presence of his church will in turn lead to more economic development in the local government.

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele promised that he would begin by sinking boreholes across the local government to support the government in solving the water crisis.

‘’I appreciate the governor for the magnanimous development of naming this vicinity after our church, it’s indeed marvellous in God’s sight. This is a testament to his love for God and the people of Ekiti state.”

“I also want to appreciate him for the development he started in Ikere-Ekiti local government, the people are happy with him and above all, God is happy with him for all he is doing”

“I want to promise His Excellency that our presence here will bring a new dawn to this vicinity, we will also assist the government. We will be sinking boreholes across the local government to solve the water crisis.’’

History has it that Primate Ayodele’s father was one of the most respected individuals in Ikere-Ekiti who brought good tidings to the community and provided succour for individuals who needed help.

Consequently, Primate Ayodele has been engaging in humanitarian activities on a large scale across the country.
