THE WORLD IN HIS HANDS, YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HAND

MATTHEW 13:4-8

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty

THE WORLD IN HIS HANDS, YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HAND

I was speaking one day to a vibrant group of people and before i went into my speech, i asked everyone to stand up very quickly. just to see who responds and more importantly how they respond. With the look on their faces i deduced a few things,

- Some responded immediately

- Some responded but it took some time

- Some looked around and asked internal questions and wondered why they should

- Some were simply too tired to try

- Some were not there at all. Their mind had traveled

- Some didn't only respond, they were alert and ready for what was next. They were There!

As we get ready to go into the new year, a time representing a new season, and a new Dawn. We must go into it understanding that while the world is in Gods hands, our life is in our hands. Even if we are going into a new phase or transitioning into something new and different, we must go into it understanding that our life is in our hands. what I'm saying in essence is this life is a gift to us from God and what we make of it is entirely up to us. We are all good soil but the reason why we all get different results is a function of 3 things 1. Decision You have to decide today what it is you want to do with your life, how you see yourself a year from now 5,10 years from now. Your decisions will determine your actions. Some of you are taking courses in different fields because you have made the decision to take your life to the next level. A decision to make more. A decision to do more and be more. To be all that God has created you to be.

We are all good soil but the reason why we all get different results is a function of 3 things 2. Determination Many times Jesus would look at people and say “oh yea of little faith” this to me is not a function of how big or how small your faith it, rather it is a function of how long you can keep going, keep believing, and keep having faith in God. To get to that glorious destiny that God has ordained for each and everyone of us, we must be determine. We must stay the course. We must stay focused, We must never give up on our selves and most importantly we must never give up on God. We are all good soil but the reason why we all get different results is a function of 3 things 3. Dependency Matthew 19:26 – Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Ladies and gentlemen, Brothers and sister Life outside of God is a worthless life To maximize our destinies, We must prioritize our dependency on God

100% dependency on his word 100% dependency on his promises for our lives 100% dependency on his prophecies

When the word of God comes forth through messages, our personal time of meditation in the word, social media influences etc. A word, a sentence, a phrase will resonate with you more than others. some people read the a verse of the bible and it means nothing to them or at best it stays in the read stage of revelation.

My challenge to you today is that you move from the reading stage of revelation to the hearing stage, hear for yourself what God is saying to you in that moment, then take it to the seeing stage, envision it take the word out of the passage and see it manifested in your life, walk in that truth and then move on to the living stage of revelation. Live your truth!!!

we have all been given a life as a gift to make of it the best we can if we believe in the power of the holy spirit.

Take this blog for example, many would have read it and received the same message but

the fruit of this message, the fruit of this word, the harvest of this word will be a function of our individual level of:

Decision- making up for mind once and for all to give it all you got Determination - go and go all the way, believe all the way, trusting and obeying every word, every command, every instruction, every leading of the holy spiritual. Dependency - 100% reliance on God, 100% partnership with the Holy Spirit, 100% trust in God.

The word in his hands, your life in your hands -

after this message, i asked that same group of people to please rise up again and this time, everyone responded speedily, they were alert and ready for what was next. They were There! Some 100, some 60, some 30.

Make this bold confession as you open up your heart to receive a word from God through different channels today.

It is my turn for an encounter

It is my turn for a transformation

It is my turn for a renewing, a reviving, and a re-igniting

My heart is receptive

My spirit is willing

The word of the lord I will hear today

Will fall on good soil, and bring transformation

I am the good soil, I am the good soil, I am the good soil.
