Identify Your Potentials 1 : Unlocking Your Glorious Destiny

Every man is created for a purpose, and the purpose of every man is to bring pleasure. 

You are created with specific functions on earth; functions to bring solution to a decaying, and disturbed world. No man is made useless or without a potential, gift, or talent. I have seen people with great speaking skills, but can’t sing a note. We are all made uniquely for the purpose of making profit through the fragrances we offer to the world. 

Your talent places you in the position of honour. It makes you a sought-after, and ultimately brings glory to God. 

Just a great footballer would need skills, there are four skills you must acquire to master your destiny. Just follow me. I believe God has something to say to you. 

The Use of Time:

Time is the currency for your destiny. Time is the universal gift of God to all men. Hour after hour, and day after day, a man’s life is done spent. Do things in their right time. Make each day count and you may have made a fulfilling season. The time you spent folding your arms rather than get up to something is a careless waste of destiny. Even if you do not have a job yet, don’t spend your life sleeping. You have 8,760 hours in a year. If you spend ten hours per day sleeping, you may have slept 3600 hours sleeping. That is 150 days of the year. Now if you spend another ten hours watching movies and chatting on the social media, you have another 150 days of the year. 300 days in a year on sleeping and surfing. You have just 65 days left. Think about it. 

HEALTHY CONFRONTATION 2

Healthy Confrontation (2)

'A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.' Ecclesiastes 3:7 NKJV

Confronting at a time when the person is most receptive takes wisdom. Wife, when your husband first comes home from work, give him space before you bombard him with the problems of the day. Husband, don’t wait until you arrive at the event to tell your wife you don’t like the outfit she’s wearing. Tell her when she can do something about it. And you should make every effort to confront a person when he or she is alone, just as Jesus commanded: ‘If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private.’ (Matthew 18:15 NAS) Confronting someone in the presence of others can cause them to become defensive in order to save face. Your goal is reconciliation, not embarrassment.

If you have something ‘heavy’ to tell someone, it’s not a good idea to have the confrontation at their house or yours—select a neutral location. That way it will be easier for the person being confronted to leave the scene, if he or she becomes belligerent. And there’s always the possibility that this could happen.

Sometimes you have to temporarily lose people, to win them later. ‘He who rebukes a man will find more favour afterward than he who flatters with his tongue.’ (Proverbs 28:23 NKJV) Note the word ‘afterward’. If you don’t get the immediate response you desire, you can still win—especially if you pray, relying on the Holy Spirit to work in a person’s heart. But you must be willing to take the risk and confront the situation in order to bring about the change you desire. If you don’t, things will remain the same—or get worse.
