TAKE CONTROL

There are only a few people who take control of their lives. The steering of their vehicles are in the hands of others and so they have little say over the matters in their lives. When you come to realise that you would give account of how you lived your life in the body it immediately births a consciousness in you that you've got to live a meaningful life. A book written by Gbile Akanni is titled Eternity in View, there's no better reason to take control of one's life than knowing and living with an eternal perspective.

God has given you authority to live this life. The authority is to be exercised in the name of Jesus. Irrespective of whatever confronts you, know that all the power and authority needed to cause a shift in your situation has been made available in Christ Jesus. The scripture says "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men". The earth belongs to you and I. Nothing should happen in your environment without your permission.
One time I came to know that mankind is yet to scratch even the surface of God's plan. God said in the beginning "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the EARTH, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION ...". The earth as described here is not just planet earth but the entire universe. The plan of God is total dominion over everything. Yet we struggle for the little space there is when God has sent us to subdue unchartered territories.

This has far reaching implications. Do not stay where others are, don't try to go where others have been. Paul was of this mindset. He didn't go to preach where Christ was already named. He went to places where Christ was never known and manifested the kingdom of God to them by the preaching of the Good news and demonstration of the power of God.

Take control not of what others have finished but of things God has uniquely put in your hands to do.
You've got ALL the power you'd ever need.

Central Truth: God works in agreement with us. As we work so he responds in Heaven.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Psalm 115:6
