You too can succeed

-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Joseph lost his mother at a tender age. He was hated by his brothers who plotted to kill him and sold him into slavery. He made it. Ruth was a widow with no future; she made it as a result of her choice to follow her mother-in-law Naomi and her God.

Esther was an orphan who was raised by a senior cousin in a foreign land; she became queen. Rahab was a prostitute with a bad reputation; she entered into the genealogy of Christ. Jephthah was the son of a prostitute; he became one of the Judges of Israel.

David was the youngest of 8 sons of Jesse who was not considered fit to be king. Even after he was anointed, he became a victim of one the hottest pursuits in human history. He made it to the throne.

A widow lost her husband and inherited a huge debt for which her two sons were about to be taken as slaves. God turned her situation around.

The Lord has sent me to tell you that you too can succeed!

God made you a winner, a victorious person. You are destined to win. You are destined for the top. You are the head and not the tail. You are above and not beneath. Rise and take your position!

The seed of greatness is in you. You can’t afford to be a loser. § Losers are never celebrated. § Losers never know fulfilment. § Losers are always relegated. § Losers are despised. § Losers have no friends. The loser’s world is a lonely world. § Losers are miserable and frustrated. You are not a loser, and you will never be numbered among losers.

God did not design you to fail. Look at the human body and you will understand what I am saying. God furnished the human body with everything it needs to succeed.

When God made man He gave him a mandate: Genesis 1:26-28, “And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The following facts then emerge about the product God created:

1. He should have and operate in the image of God. A man or woman who does have the image of God is a failed product.

2. He should be blessed financiall­y and materially. 3. He should be physically sound. 4. He should be spirituall­y and emotionall­y sound.

5. He should exercise dominion. He should be able to dominate and not be dominated by anything or anyone but God. By this statement God also spoke your enemies into existence. There would have been no need for the word subdue if there will be no resistance and opposition. Many get disappoint­ed that they are not getting an easy ride. You mandate gave you the right of dominion.

6. He should be fruitful in everything he does.

7. He should keep on growing and multiplyin­g.

You were designed to be fruitful, creative, productive, effective, prosperous and responsibl­e. You were created to be the head and not the tail; above and not beneath. You were designed to be a winner and not a loser; a victor and not a victim. God created you to express His success on earth; to reflect His nature and show you off to principali­ties and powers. He planned for you to be fat and flourishin­g.

You are not designed to be a failed project. He made you an achiever. He made you an accomplish­er, a proof-producer. The big question is why do people fail? 1. Ignorance. • Failure to understand one’s purpose leading to satanic distractio­ns and diversions. • Ignorance of success principles. 2. Evil company and counsel. 3. Spiritual problems. • Unresolved ancestral sins and curses. • Unresolved personal sins. • Demonic oppression, witchcraft and occult manipulati­on, 4. Neglect of God. Joshua 1:8 5. Failure to plan. God is getting ready to turn things around for you. The Bible says when the Lord turned our captivity we were like them that dream.

Blind Bartimaeus had his situation turned around; the woman with the issue of blood too. I bind every demon spirit interferin­g with your progress in the name of Jesus Christ.

A spectacula­r change is going to take place in your life this year in Jesus name. Your success is inevitable!!
