Rule Your world

Rule Your World

Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations. (Jer 1:5) BBE

Introduction:
One of the difference between wealthy/ successful people and the poor/unsuccessful people is what comes to mind every morning. The successful people wake up every day thinking of what to DO. While the unsuccessful people on the other hand wake up every day thinking of what to EAT. You are wealthy when you daily think of what to do to have a better live, to impact your society and change the world positively. The question that readily comes to mind is “How do I know what to do?” the answer is simple; discover the purpose of your existence.
No matter the circumstance of your birth, you aren’t a mistake. Because the accident of birth isn’t the sole prospect of life. God has position you here on earth for a definite reason. No child is without a purpose neither is there a-born by mistake. You are born to change your world. You are born to find a solution to human problems, you are born to rule your world.

You have a destiny
It is essential you understand that you are created by God to solve a problem and your success lies in following God’s plan for your life.

5 key things that are pointers to your destiny:

1. Your Passion: Passion is an inner drive that propels you to do something. It is a strong powerful emotional will to do something, sometimes you cannot explain it but it is on the inside.

Three (3) things that defines your passion:
•
What you love: Mike Murdock said that “what you love is a clue to the gifts, skills and wisdom you possess”. What you love to do might be a clue to your purpose. It could be doing sport, writing, singing, cooking, encouraging people, inspirational talk, debating, teaching, calculating, repairing gadgets, business etc.
•
What Grieves you: Grieves are things that cause you sorrow, it might not bother other people but it causes you pains. Mike Murdock said that “what grieves you is a clue to something you are assigned to heal”. Identify what causes you grieve, it could be child abuse, poverty, homelessness, teenage pregnancy, failure etc. it is defined in the categories of people you naturally have empathy for; children, rape victims, the unemployed, widows, orphans, prostitutes, sinners, uneducated people, etc.

• What you hate: whatever you hate with a passion could be a clue to your calling. You can’t really change or correct something unless you have a God-given-hatred for. It could be hatred for sickness, injustice, sexual abuse, corruption, divorce, domestic violence, nepotism etc. what you hate is a clue to something you are born to change or correct”
2. Your Talents: these are your natural abilities; things you do without been taught. Most people zero down talent to: sports, singing, playing musical instruments and acting drama only. But there are many talents and every human being has at least one talent. Some people are talented to: write, speak in public, tell stories, cook, dress beautifully, draw artistically, showing care, motiving people, marketing and analyzing things etc. Your natural abilities are pointers to your destiny. (Exodus 31: 1-5; 37:1)

3. Your Skills: these are abilities you acquired through learning and you have mastered perfectly. The school or vocational training centers are instrumental to skills acquisition and development. How do you know the skills that are peculiar to you? Your skills are those you easily learn. Whatever, you find very easy to learn is a pointer to your purpose. It might be solving mathematical problems, repairing devices, sowing, baking etc. There is a relationship between your talents and skills. Your skills are improved and refined versions of your talents. Discovering your talents is not enough for success, you have to learn about your discovered talent. This will differentiate you from other people who have the same talent. The major difference between ordinary talented people and successful talented people is skills development because it has immersed impact on individual creativity.

4. Your Potentials: they are your currently unrealized ability. They are things you can do but you are yet to discover them. David (in 1Samuel 17: 34:35) didn’t know he could kill a lion until one attacked him. Life challenges are a major way to realize your potentials. Embrace every challenges that comes your way and overcome them in the process you will discover special abilities that you have. Another way to realize these abilities is through self-education i.e. reading wide beyond the common knowledge in your community. You can also discover your potentials be taking up the challenge to try out things you have never done before. Exposure is a key to potential realization; you wouldn’t know if you could play a musical instrument if you aren’t exposed to it.

5. Your Choice: God won’t force any man to do anything (Gen 6:3). No matter how glorious God’s plan is for you, it takes personal decision to fulfil it. Destiny will not appear from the blues you have to make it happen by daily making right choices along the line of your destiny. The choices you make today determines your future. Your tomorrow is a function of today’s choices. You can choose to develop your talents, discover your potentials and passion. Moreover, one choice is most critical which is the choice to either give your life to Jesus or not because this defines both your earthly destiny and your eternal destination. A life without Christ is a tragedy to his/her generation. The reason we have poverty, corruption, evil, terrorism in our world today is because some people have chosen to do evil. Imagine a world where everybody chooses to do what is right. Your choices can’t be separated from your destiny. For instance, if a girl decides to go for an abortion and died in the process. That is obviously not the plan of God for her life but her choice destroys her destiny. Your choice either mar or make your destiny.

How to discover your purpose?
… but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. (Dan 11:32b) KJV

Doing exploit, prospering in life is God’s plan for you. One thing is primary, which is your knowledge about God. Knowing God start with accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10). It is of utmost importance that you understand that you can’t choose a purpose for your life because you didn’t create yourselves. When you buy a new mobile phone in the package you will find the user’s guide developed by the manufacture. Likewise, God created you and He has the manual for your life which is your purpose in life. It will be ridiculous to use a mobile phone as a stove, also it will be absurd to be something else apart from what God has in plan for your life.

Three (3) ways to discover your divine purpose:

1. Ask God in prayers:
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jer 33:3) KJV

2. Develop a daily communion with God (Dan11:32): Read and study your bible and pray daily. When you do this constantly you will learn how to hear from God, then He can speak to you about what He want you to do in life.

3. Get baptized in the Holy Spirit:
1Cor 2:9-10
(9)  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
(10)  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

People on your road to destiny
People are just people whatever they do define them. On your journey to destiny you will meet different people and it is your responsibility to identify them so as to classify them accurately. 

1. People that will be against you
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. (Gen 37:5). They will criticize you and cast you down. When someone tells you that you are a failure or you are never going to make it, the best revenge isn’t to hate or abuse the fellow but to forgive and proof the person wrong by succeeding extraordinarily. You have to convert the bad things anyone says about or to you into success drive energy. These set of people could be anybody parents, siblings, teachers etc. never hate them. If they say you “CAN’T DO IT” don’t be angry or feel rejected “JUST DO IT”

2. People that will want to lure you into sin (Gen 39:7-15):
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. (Pro 1:10)
Separate yourself from anyone that want to lure you to do evil. Mostly these set of people come as friends. Identify them and say a capital NO to their proposals.

3. People you must help (Gen 40):
Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don't give up. (Gal 6:9) CEV

4. People that will connect you to where your destiny will be fulfilled (Gen41):
There are people whom God has positioned as destiny helpers. Moreover, you must develop good virtues that will attract you to them. These virtues include: honesty, diligence, humility, respect tenacity, hard work, integrity etc.

Conclusion:
You have a destiny in God and to fulfil it you must know God (Dan12:32b).

Whichever way,  Barn his calls from entering you phone by using the call baring setting on your phone, block him on whatsapp, Facebook or any social media you both have establish any form of communication. Lastly, delete his number and never contact him again. 1cor 6:18, 1Tim 2:22

YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE?

God paid a great price for you. So don't become slaves of anyone else.  (1 Corinthians 7:23 CEV)

INTRODUCTION

The world is subject to the slavery of sickness, poverty, crime, sin, demonic attack, failures, curses etc. but if you are a child of God you are free. God in His love (John3:16), made payment for you through the blood of Jesus Christ. Hence, you are not for sale to devil, failure, poverty, sin, sexual immorality etc. Firstly, by the way of definition who is a slave?
A Slave: a person who is dominated by somebody or something, someone in bondage, in servitude and imprisoned or restricted (zero progress).
In this publication, I will be discussing five (5) key points that will help you to live as a King/Queen that you are. Being a King/Queen signifies Royalty, Wealth & Riches, Authority, freedom, all round excellence etc. these five (5) key points defines your royalty and your worth.

1. MINDSET (Phil 4:8)

Dr. Farrah Gray, named by BET in 2012 as the Famous Black Entrepreneur, who at age of 14 became a millionaire. He is a businessman, investor, philanthropist, author and a motivational speaker. Although Gray was raised on Chicago’s South side by a single parent (mother), obviously born poor. But his mindset contributed immensely to his success. At a tender age, he told his teacher he was going to be a millionaire and an entrepreneur but the teacher said you are not going to be anything, you better go find someone to work for and she pointed to McDonald. Gray looked at her and thought maybe she is right. On getting home, he asked the grandma “why did she say I won’t be successful” you shouldn’t listen to her replied the grandma, every person put on their pant one leg at a time expect they jump into it. She said wake up every morning and say “Why not me?” i.e. if anybody is going to be a millionaire why not me. That counsel changed Farrah Gray forever.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Your mindset is the way you think, otherwise known as you mentality. Your mentality is directly proportional to your self-esteem. A slave have a low self-esteem as a result of negative thinking, they never see anything good about themselves. There are a lot of negative people in this world and do not allow them to sell you to negativity. Your mindset determines your actions i.e. if you think positively you will have a positive life. Stop thinking about failures, evil or lack but believe in yourself and have faith in God.

2. DRIVE FOR SUCCESS

When someone tells you that you are a failure or you are never going to make it, the best revenge isn’t to hate or abuse the fellow but to forgive and proof the person wrong by succeeding extraordinarily. You have got to convert the bad things anyone says about or to you into energy to drive success. This defines Sijibomi Ogundele, he became a billionaire at the age of 33. Sijibomi in an interview narrated an experience he would never forget. “An experience I would never forget is when a high school teacher always told me: Olasiji Ogundele, you would never amount to anything. You are too stubborn; you are too dumb. Today, this teacher works for Sujimoto construction (a company own by Sijibomi) as one of our consultants.” If they say you “CAN’T DO IT” don’t be angry or feel rejected “JUST DO IT”

3. EDUCATION

I believe so much in this quote of Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Knowledge is power. The scripture says “Let instruction and knowledge mean more to you than silver or the finest gold.  (Pro 8:10 CEV)”. Education goes beyond going to school and passing exams, you must develop the culture of reading. Readers are leaders. Hence, people that don’t read are slaves. When Warren Buffet, the third richest man in the world was building up a career in investing, he would read up to 1000 pages every single day. According to science every human being have the same numbers of cells in the brain, therefore, there is no reason why anyone should be better than you. What differentiates us is our level of knowledge.

4. RESOLUTION

To be successful in life is a choice. Toyosi Akerele, founder and CEO of Rise Network was named by Forbes in 2014 as one of the 20 Youngest Power Women in Africa. While going up raised by her poor mother at the age of 13 resolve that “no man will have sex with me for money.” Great people are known by the decision they made that others didn’t make. Daniel made up his mind not to harm himself by eating the king's rich food and drinking the king's wine. … (Dan 1:8 GW). In this generation the kings food and wine is sexual immorality (fornication, masturbation, watching porn etc.). So as not to be enslaved make a resolution not to harm yourself with sexual sins. There is pride in virginity. This resolution differentiated Joseph from Samson.

5. VISION

(Pro 29:18 KJV)  Where there is no vision, the people perish… show me a man without vision and I will show you a slave. You are not born by mistake no matter the circumstances of your birth. God has a plan for you. God plan you to be great, and to attain greatness you must ask God to show you “the Purpose behind your birth”  "Jeremiah, I am your Creator, and before you were born, I chose you to speak for me to the nations."  (Jer 1:5 CEV). You are born to be a solution to a problem. God has uniquely created you for a purpose, it is your duty to discover it. Prayers and study of the bible is a pathway to discovering your purpose.

WHO ARE YOU?

I am bought with the blood of Jesus and I am not for sale to sin or sexual immorality. I am not cheap, I am an heir of God and joint heir with Christ. I am a winner, I will never quit. I am born uniquely to be great. Every voices that say I am a failure, I am inadequate or I won’t make it, is silenced. No matter how rough my way may be or how my background could have been I am victorious. My past mistakes or failures won’t define me nor hold me back, I am reaching out for a glorious future in God. I resolve to be sexually pure I say no to boyfriends or girlfriends. I know who I am.
