Do not say you are too young for anything that is great. <!--more-->Roosevelt was forty-two years old when he was president of the United States of America. How old are you? Many of us are close to forty, and many of us are older than Roosevelt was when he became President. John F. Kennedy (JFK) was president of the United States of America at forty-three. Okay, let&#8217;s bring it home. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) was in his early forties when he was President of Nigeria. Olusegun Obasanjo was thirty-eight years old when he first became the president of Nigeria. These guys who master mined the first coup that threw Nigeria into a tailspin were in their twenties.<\/p>\n<p>I read one of the writings of the Kaduna Nzeogwu guy; you could say it was Marxist or that it was influenced by communist thinking. But those guys were clear in their thinking. You cannot engage twenty-five-year-olds these days and expect solid content from them sometimes. How old was Yakubu Gowon when he was president of Nigeria? Gowon was thirty-one. Now, think about your thirty-one-year-old self. Never say you are too young! Never ever say you are too young! You are not too young. I am sure you have heard of Alexander the Great. He conquered from the East to the West of the known world at the time. Alexander the Great was twenty years old.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are saying, \u201cPastor, these are historic figures. Can you show us examples in the Bible?\u201d Yes, I can. King Zedekiah was twenty years old when he began to rule Israel. King Ahaz was also twenty years old when he began to rule Israel. King Solomon, whom we still talk about today, was twenty years old when he began to rule. Never say you are too young, never! Let me shock you. Manasseh was twelve years old when he started to rule. Yes, you could say he had administrators; however, he was twelve years old when he began to rule. Now, wait for it. How old was King Josiah? King Josiah was eight years old. How old are you again?<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the I am too young bait sometimes comes in I am still young lie. Listen, you need to get up and get things done. Don&#8217;t bite the bait! Jacinda Ardern, the fortieth prime minister of New Zealand, was thirty-seven years old when she was prime minister. So, the issue is not the age; the issue is the mindset. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/PRO.23.7.KJV\">Proverbs 23:<sup>7<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<em>For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he<\/em>\u2026\u201d (KJV).
