DON’T WAIT FOR A TITLE OR POSITION TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE


Too often we pursue titles and positions more than living to fulfill the purpose of our life, thinking we’ll feel good about ourselves when we have them.  “When I make it to General Manager, when I get that senator position, when I get that Bishop title, when I’m the head usher, the senior partner, the lead supervisor…” That’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with titles, but you don’t need a title to do what God has called you to do. Don’t wait for people to approve you, affirm you, or validate you. Use your gift and the title will come.

IF David would have waited for a title, we wouldn’t be talking about him today. When he went out to face Goliath, the whole army was watching him. And what’s interesting is that David wasn’t a general. He wasn’t a corporal. He wasn’t a sergeant. He wasn’t even enlisted. He didn’t have a title, a name badge, a uniform, or a single credential. He could have said, I can’t do anything great. I don’t have position. I am just a shepherd. Nobody is celebrating me. Nobody is validating my gifts.” In fact, it was just the opposite. People were telling him how he was not qualified, how he was too small, how he was going to get hurt. That didn’t bother David. His attitude was I don’t need a position. You didn’t call me, and you don’t have to approve me. God called me. He gave me this gift. It may seem small or insignificant to you, but I’m not here to impress you. I’m here not to please you. I’m here to fulfill my destiny. He went out and defeated Goliath. In a few year they gave him a title King of Israel. Use your gifts, and the titles will come.  
      
Well, you say. As soon as they crown me King of the office, I’ll start being my best.’’ As soon as they make me the head usher, I’ll  show up early and give it my all”. It works the other way around. you have to show them what you have, then the approval, then the recognition, then the reward will come.


But you can’t wait for people’s approval to do what God called you to do. What you have may seem small. You could feel intimidated, thinking that you don’t have the qualifications, the title, the position. That’s okay. Neither did David. If you’ll use what you have, God will breathe on it. His anointing on that simple gift will cause you to step into the fullness of your destiny.

LOOK IMPORTANT-IT HELPS YOU THINK IMPORTANT

Remember, your appearance “talks.” Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like a kind of person you want to be. You can usually spot a wrong kids just by the way he looks. Sure it’s unfair, but it’s a fact: people today judge a young star by appearance. And once they’ve tabbled a boy, it’s tough to change their minds about him, their attitude toward him. Look at your boy. Look at him through his teacher’s eyes, your neighbor eyes, could the way he looks, the clothes he wears, give them the wrong impression? Are you making sure he looks right. Dresses right, everywhere he goes. It cost little to be neat. Dress right, it always pays. Remember: look important because it helps you think important and also it’s help you to think big. Use clothing as tool to lift your spirits, build confidence. An old psychology professor of mine used to give this advice to students on last-minute preparations for final examination: “Dress up fo...

God is about to visit you

Maybe you are tempted to give up on a dream. Things haven’t turned out the way you planned. It was going fine at first, but then you had some obstacles and you think, it just wasn’t meant to be. Here is what I have learned. The enemy doesn’t try to stop you from starting. He has seen a lot of people start. That doesn’t bother him. But when you have a made-up mind and keep pushing forward, doing the right thing, taking new ground, when he sees you getting closer, he will work overtime even he will employ a lot of people to join him try to keep you from finishing. Don’t get discouraged when you have setbacks, people come against you, or you get a negative medical report. That’s a sign that you are moving toward your finish line. When you have a setback always believe in yourself and keep focusing because the best is ahead of you. The enemy was fine when you got started. He was fine when you were far from finishing. No big deal to him. But when you began to make progress that got h...

Your blessing will come to you at the right time

  What God has planned for you is much bigger than anything you’ve ever dreamed. Of God were to show you right now where He’s taking you the favor, the promotion, the influence it would boggle your mind. You may think, as I did, that you’re not the most qualified. You don’t have the personality or the talent. That’s okay. it’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, or your hard work. It’s going to happen because of the commanded blessing on your life. God’s anointing on you is more important than your talent, your education, or what family you come from. You could have less talent, but with the favor of God, you will go further than people who have much more talent. You may not see how this can happen. It doesn’t seem possible. But you don’t have to figure it out. If you’ll just keep being your best right where you are, getting to work on time, doing more than you have to, being a person of excellence and integrity, the right people will find you and the...
