VALUES INCREASE COST

The price of a product is not always determined by its size, but by its worth. In the same way, though every life is valuable, the true measure of our cost is revealed by the quality of impact we make.

Bear in mind, our internal growth always precedes our external recognition; this is to say, it is our spiritual, mental, and professional development that positions us for influence, high impact, and ultimately fixes the value our world places on us.

See, it is not always true that people don't like you; they are invariably going after what they need that you haven't possessed or grown into.

Are you aware that even as a Christian, you can be ignored if your Christianity is not impactful, whereas an unbeliever playing an impactful role is drawn closer?. My prayer is that your life will count as one redeemed to shine.

Scripture said,

...in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;(Philippians 2:15).

The truth is, when you develop your life skillfully, spiritually, and intellectually, attention will be shifted to you because you have what is needed or required to solve problems.

It was not Pharaoh’s desire to love Joseph or to draw close to him, for they did not share the same faith or the same values. Yet, Pharaoh had no choice because Joseph held the solution to the problem Pharaoh desperately sought to solve.

This should remind us that sometimes favor and relevance are not dependent on relationships or likeness but on the worth of your input and insight.

Pharaoh said to Joseph,

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.

You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(Genesis 41:39-40 NIV).

When you develop or commit your skills in the business world through learning and training, the business world will recognize you.

When you commit to dedication in the things of the Spirit, those with spiritual needs, who need to handle life challenges in various areas of life, will seek your attention.

Scripture said,

Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” (Proverbs 22:29).

Bear in mind, when you develop yourself, your life gains a “high cost” in the marketplace of influence, because people and opportunities naturally gravitate toward what is valuable, not necessarily what is available.

Friends, if you neglect your gift, you will remain undervalued, but when you invest time, effort, and discipline into self-development, you become a person the world cannot ignore.

Lest you forget, when you align your efforts with God’s will, every hour of investment, every lesson learned, and every skill developed multiplies in value.

The scripture said,

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”

Challenge yourself today to grow your physical and spiritual values, if you must remain relevant.

However, when you don't have Christ in you, you are not worth anything beneficial to yourself and the kingdom of God.

Therefore, I invite you to stay reconciled with Jesus by ensuring that you cut off from your old ways.

You can repeat after me,

Lord Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior.

Please forgive my sins and write my name in the Lamb's book of Life.

Thank you for saving me.

I pray for you, may every effort you make in personal development multiply, as your excellence brings glory to God.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Words to Ponder: Value is becoming a solution to what others need but don't have. Maybe you have not been sought because it has not been found in you.

THAT FALL IS NOT YOUR END

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again..

( Proverbs 24:16).

The number of times you failed only hurts when you stop trying; but once you succeed, the failures become stepping stones, not scars.”

Bear in mind, a setback in life does not mean God is eternally grieved with you; what even grieves Him is your decision to remain at the same spot.

The truth is, countless lives with great destinies in ministry, career, and other fields have been cut short, not because God abandoned them, but because the devil deceived them into thinking the chance of recovery was too slim to rise again after a fall.”

Scripture warned,

Lest Satan should get an advantage over us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. ( 2 Corinthians 2:11).

One of his strategies is to sit as a judge in your mind against you, thereby making you a prisoner of your past and denying you access to better days.

If the records were laid bare of those who staggered at different points before rising, you would be amazed to discover that many of the men who became great pillars in their generation once stumbled on their journey yet refused to allow it to define them.

You, too, may have staggered many times and in different areas of life, but if you will put the past behind you and press on, you will be amazed at how fast your story will change.

Apostle Paul said,

I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. (Philippians 3:13).

However, while you have the opportunity today to rise, it is risky to wait longer than is necessary.

Scripture admonished,

..hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:11).

Therefore, I invite you to make Jesus your personal Lord and Savior as you repeat after me.

Lord Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior.

Please forgive my sins and write my name in the Lamb's book of Life.

Thank you for saving me.

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥

I decree as God's elect, may every voice of hopelessness, discouragement, and negative experience whispering and convincing you it is too late and impossible to move on, be silenced now.

In the name of Jesus.

Words to Ponder; Why remain on the floor where the enemy wants for you when God wants you to rise.

FAVOR ENDS STRUGGLE

(Esther 5:2 ).

As the pressure to meet up with life’s demands continues to rise, it becomes clear that human labour alone cannot satisfy the desired needs, nor can results truly compensate for the inputs, except by the intervention of favour."

God’s favour is designed to grant you special preference, uncommon privileges and blessings not earned by merit..

Bear in mind, it is the strength of God’s favour backing you that determines the treatment and honour you receive in the place of opportunities not merely your strength or qualifications."

"However, though favour is unmerited, the measure to which it flows is often determined by how we align our hearts in seeking to advance the cause of God on the earth."

Scripture said,

Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad

and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

(Psalms 35:27).

It is the more we take steps that favour His kingdom, the more He takes pleasure in bringing to pass things that pertain to our favour.

Esther’s favour was made possible because God had a mission to position her as the vessel through whom the Jews would be delivered from Haman’s conspiracy.

Hear this, when your intimacy and service to God keep moving on the rise, you won't appear in a place and not enjoy favourable attention and approval, because God hath said.

... no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Psalms 84:11).

Friends, you don’t need to lobby around men; you only need to keep your ways right with God. When God’s favour rests upon you, men will be compelled to favour you even those who do not like you.

Scripture said,

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12).

This is to say, favor is reserved for those who love and fear His name.

Therefore, I charge you to reconsider your ways and make peace with God to activate the favor of God upon your life as you repeat after me.

Lord Jesus, I accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. Forgive me of my sins and write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥.

I pray for you, as you sought God's interest on the earth, may favour you never bargain for, begin to seek you in the remaining days of this year.

In the name of Jesus.

Words to Ponder; Life only makes sense when the oil of favor robs on you.
