Step 3: He needed to roar:

Lions roar Eda, you must roar or get something close to it, else you are an ordinary goat said Rafiki. Eda took the challenge well, I will give it all it takes he said. He got a vocal coach trainer and endured voice training adhering strictly to every discipline regimen. After a few weeks, he would roar so loudly in the neighbourhood; neighbors mistook their weird neighbor for some stray lion, many even deserted the neighborhood for the fear of being eaten by lions; Eda rejoiced secretly at the news, his lion awareness was growing and many wouldn’t associate with him anymore. As at other times, he returned to Rafiki who praised him and urged him to the next task.

Step 4: He needed to relocate to the wild

As Eda left Rafiki’s house, he reflected on what he said about the next task which was to relocate to the wild. It didn’t seem a big deal to him as his neighbors deemed him wild and couldn’t cope with him, they couldn’t even stand up to him; he had become a stare and fear. Eda relocated to the wild; his enhanced look helped a lot, he easily preyed on the helpless animals and was relatively fine in the wild. I am living the life he shouted excitedly on his way to see rafiki for the last task that wouldn’t just make him a n accredited lion but also the king of the jungle.

Step 5: He needed to change his companions and hang out with lions

You have become a lion, birds of feathers flock together; you have to move with your companions, you are just as they are, you can do what they can do, you have become as they...this was the best moment of Eda’s life as he was motivated to the high heavens. He was literally soaring and couldn’t wait to join his companions…hardly had Rafiki finished his speech that Eda dashed off to the wild, he was used to the wild already and knew the routes however this time he moved in with the lions.

Eda displayed his skills, but as a rule, if you moved in with the clan of lions, you had to prove your worthiness, Eda was challenged by the head of the lion clan into a friendly fight, and he accepted this challenge excitedly. The fight happened and Eda wasn’t just defeated, he was killed and eaten quite easily.

It was such a sad and terrible ending for Eda. Now, here are the lessons:

Transformation is a thing of the heart. Only Christ can secure a genuine change in every man 2 Corr 5:17. Jesus is the change and changer. He is the unchangeable changer.

You must be committed to real change that only Christ can give, no make-up. Jn 8:32

Real change is internal and within, never cosmetic or bodily adjustment or external Rom 12:2

Motivation is good but only the truth sets free. Jn 8:32

Your faith should not be based on the wisdom of men but in the power of God 1 Corr 2:5

Only the true lion can make you become a lion
