FEAST OF GREATNESS 2011

Out of Abraham's loins came two kinds of destinies.

1. KINGS - Stars, Royalty, Affluence, and men of importance.

2. NATIONS - Stars, City Takers, Continental Movers, Institutions and Men with Relevance.

Kings are raised or made, while nations are built.Rev 1:5-6

Kings are made for reigning.

As a king, you are designed to reign on earth and not in heaven. All you need to reign on earth is loaded in heaven.

To reign is to have dominion. To have dominion is to have a good understanding of your potential.

WHAT IS POTENTIAL?

There is a wrong notion that needs to be corrected. "We brought nothing to the world and would take nothing out of it."

This is very wrong. Rather it is Naked we came and not empty we came. No man came empty to the world. We all came wired up for a specific purpose on the earth.

A discovery of what we were wired up to do on earth is potential. An understanding of what is loaded into you before you got posted to earth is potential.

Potential is the solution to a need on earth which God loaded into you at the beginning.
Potential is what has been written of you in the pages of scriptures.
Potential is what you can do, but have not yet done.
Potential is what you have been wired to accomplish which informed youe coming to earth.
Potential is what Christ can do through you, which you are yet to discover.
It is one thing to be wired, while it is another thing to be empowered.
Let me say to your here that you have been wired up for greatness.

WHAT IS GREATNESS?
Greatness is not defined by abundant material possession. It is not what you have but who you are. Seeking first the kingdom is all about seeking potential. When you are in touch with potential, what you need to have will be attracted to you.

Potential when discovered makes you a moving magnet. Becoming a moving magnet is what defines greatness.
Greatness is the ability to attract to you all you would ever need on earth. The dynamo that generates power has at its core a magnet. You cannot become a magnet and not generate power to influence the world around you.
The quality of this influence goes a long way in defining greatness.

You can therefore be rich and hold a top position in you country and have no part with greatness.

SEVEN KEYS TO ACTIVATING GREATNESS

1. Self Discovery

Knowing who you are is the first step at unlocking the greatness bottled up in you at creation.

The first word spoken to man after he had been created were words of greatness. To be great is to be blessed. The blessing is at the root of true greatness. For instance, it is said, "it is the blessings of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow with it." This means, you can be rich and not blessed, but you can't be blessed and not be made rich"

True riches of the great is hidden in blessing. It blessings that make great. This blessing is what you need to tap into.

For Adam to tap into the blessing, God needed to make him aware of the contents of the blessing.

What is in the blessing?

1. Fruitfulness

The first thing you will find in the blessing is fruitfulness. Every seed or idea has life within it. It has the capacity to grow or prosper. It has power to reproduce within it. It is fruitful.

2. Multiplication

The second thing in the blessing is ability to multiply the products of your seed or ideas. When an idea becomes fruitful, there is need to multiply it, in other to meet the needs of a lot of people. Meeting the needs of a lot of people creates a lot of wealth.

3. Replenish

The seed is fruitful and has been multiplied, but as the years go by, there is need to have a change of face or appearance. There is need for branding or repackaging. Man is moved by what he sees, so the more you present the fruit of the seed in various dimensions, the more people you reach. God works in the same manner. The seed is the gospel, but in the body we have pastors, evangelist, teachers, prophets and apostles. All of them carry the gospel but in different packaging. This is the concept of Replenishing.

4. Subdue

When you start replenishing, you have a wider range of products and small minds with envious hearts would arise and criticize you of monopoly. Their envy will grow to become bitterness and latter lead to attack on you or your business. This is why you have to live battle ready, and all you need is to take up the shield of faith. The blessing at this point releases faith for conquest.

5. Dominion

Dominion is the ultimate of the blessing, and it does not mean lording it over others in the market place. What this means is that you have now grown to a stage where you now start the process all over again, but this time with other people. You now reproduce your success in others. What God has made out of you, you now accept responsibility to make out of others. This is the concept of dominion. This is greatness.

2. RENEW YOUR MIND

To renew is to bring your soul in subjection to your regenerated spirit. It is training your spirit man to understand the voice of the Holy Spirit. It is the ability to remember and imagine the truth only. What you imagine or remember are prayer activators.

This is because what you imagine or remember defines your declarations. Mark 11:23-24

Prayer is impotent when the mind is not renewed.

In actual fact, prayer is lending a voice to what the Spirit is saying your spirit man.

Saying what God says to you is what gives you a voice on the earth.

3. TRUE LIBERALITY

Every greatness in the kingdom is rooted in liberality. Liberality is giving to others without a thought for your own personal comfort. It is the willingness to help others reach their goal while believing God to reach yours.

Liberality secures grace that enable you delay gratification in a bid to secure glorification.

4. UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

This is one law that authenticates greatness before it eventually shows up for all to see.

What is this Law?

It is attracting to yourself whatever dominates your thought life. What you think about the most soon shows up in your life.

Our heart is like a weighing scale and wherever it tilts to, always defines the direction of your life. It weighs our thought to produce corresponding actions. Proverbs 4:23-26

It is this law that births focus which ultimately results in successful outcomes.

5. COURAGE

Courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is the conquest of fear. there are two forces that makes things happen, fear and faith.

In the realm of darkness, fear is the activating switch, while in the realm of light, it takes faith.

Job feared and what he was afraid of happened to him. His fear made God permit the devil to perform a "Faith audit" on Job.

When we talk about fear, it is not synonymous to "stage fright" or that butterfly feeling you sense anytime you have a challenging task. Fear is a state of not absolutely believing God. Courage is opting for faith even when the recommendations of fear/Satan seem as the only immediate option.

Daniel refused to be intimidated by unholy decrees and it secured for him a pet in fierce Lions. The three Hebrew boys refused to bow to the treats of a brainless king, and that secured for them an "air conditioned" fiery furnace.

Greatness is consolidated on the altar of courage. Refuse to be intimidated by the possibility of failure and see God move in your direction.

ACTION

The difference between the successful and the failure is action. Fear and unbelief made Zechariah doubt the message delivered by angel Gabriel. It led to his dumbness and as a result could not relay the massage appropriately to his wife. Mary on the other hand heard from the angel that Elizabeth was pregnant. She rose up and immediately took off to see her.

On hearing the salutation of Mary, the baby in her leaped for Joy and perhaps, Elizabeth for the first time knew she was pregnant. This was after five months.

Running with a vision, activates its release and performance. Greatness is for those who take steps.

A PRAISE FILLED HEART AND A JOYFUL SPIRIT.

It takes a praise filled heart to connect with true greatness. When you pray, God sends an Angel. Angelic intervention is the ultimate in the school of prayer. After Jesus fasted and prayed for forty days and forty nights, all he got was angelic ministration.

When you praise God, He himself comes down to inspect your case. Praise is often associated with earth quakes, this is because every time God is made to move, the earth must quake.

This is a secret of true greatness. Great men are addicted praise singers. Praise is impossible without a joyful spirit. A spirit that believes absolutely that God is on its side. A spirit that knows that all things work together for it's good. A spirit that knows that even though your beginning be small, your later end shall greatly increase.
