Handicapped.

In English language, the word handicapped is a combination of two words, hand and incapable.
So when a person is not functioning the way he is supposed to be functioning, he is said to be handicapped, meaning that his hands are incapable.

The hand is so important that it is used to describe so many situations in life. For example, a crippled man is never said to be leg-capped but handicapped.

When a man who is supposed to bring money out for a function in the family is financially incapable of doing so, he is said to be financially handicapped.
If a woman who is supposed to be married and settled with children in her husband’s house is still being dated, and looking for a fiance, she is said to be maritally handicapped. When a Christian remains a baby in the Lord, after many years of serving God, he is said to be spiritually handicapped.
If someone who is supposed to be a lecturer in the university is still struggling to gain admission into a University, he is described as being mentally handicapped.
But a handicap should not be an excuse for not achieving greatness in life.
For example, blinded from age of six weeks, Fanny Crosby wrote more than 8,000 Christian hymns in her lifetime.
Among the songs she wrote that are still loved by people today are “Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior.”,
“Blessed Assurance.” and “Jesus Is Tenderly Calling You Home.”

Late Prophet T.O. Obadare was a
Nigerian World-renowned televangelist.

He also founded the World Soul Winning Evangelical  Mission (WOSEM).
He received an honorary Doctor of Ministry degree from St. John’s University, Missouri. He was a firebrand evangelist, very versed in the Bible. He conducted many healing crusades within and outside Nigeria before he died in March 2013.

At  13, the famous Stevie Wonder was the youngest artist ever to top the music chart in America.
