Bible Reading: Genesis 26: 12-21
Memory Verse: He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.” Genesis26:22 (BSB)
The COVID-19 pandemic affected a lot of people and businesses. Many have either lost their jobs or were forcefully retrenched. However, there are still oppourtunities everywhere. All you need to do prayerfully is to match your grace with your skills. Many who deal in stocks will tell you they buy when the market crash. Look within beloved. You cannot be grounded in Year 2021.
Bishop Oyedepo once said: Opportunities abound everywhere, but mankind could be so blind. Challenges and the numerous problems in our society are only wrappings of opportunities. Inside such problems are hidden eternal opportunities just for someone to see. You never have a champion that is not challenged. It is overcoming the challenge that brings out the champion in you. There are no nations without challenges. While some are committed to solving their problems, others are celebrating their problems.
Someone gets to a town where they have no shoes. He disdains and mocks them for lack of civilization. Another person enters into the same town and sees a business opportunity. What made the difference? The way they have been programmed mentally. There are really no poor nations, but there are poor people in every nation. It is when the number of the poor outnumbers the rich that we call it a poor nation. But when the rich in a nation outnumbers the poor, we have a rich nation.
There are rich people in very poor nations who will be classified very rich in the richest nations of the world. So, you are not poor because you are in a poor nation. You are poor because you have not been empowered to live above it. So, when you are truly empowered, you deliver result at the same rate anywhere you are in. Power delivers the same quality of results anywhere.
Your business, trade, office or shop is not far from any customer when quality values are being delivered. Every child of God is a man or woman to be envied and not pitied. Isaac came on stage and the Bible says the Philistines envied Isaac. All we need to do is to locate what it takes to outshine our peers in our field. It has been observed both from scriptures and from the principles of life that the fundamental secret to empowerment is knowledge.
The news you access is what determines the changes in your life. That is why only thoroughly informed people become practically transformed. Knowledge is the secret of sustainable empowerment for unlimited achievement. It takes the knowledge of the truth to remain increasingly empowered in your journey so as to fulfill your destiny in a grand style in Year 2021. Go for that knowledge that will set you apart in your field this year. Read the Bible for proven divine strategies about how God lifts men even in famine. Read biographies. Attend seminars. You are able.
Quote: Investment in knowledge is the gateway to sustainable empowerment.
Prophetic Decree: This year you will access the secrets codes that will transform your life, in Jesus name.
