THE 12 SECRETS FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION (PART VIII)

POTENTIAL: WHAT HAVE I BEEN GIVEN THAT I HAVE NOT USED YET? 

26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.“ Genesis 1:26-28

“Everything in life was created with potential and possesses the potential principle. In every seed there is a tree…in every bird a flock…in every fish a school…in every sheep a flock…in every cow a herd…in every boy a man…in every girl a woman…in every nation a generation. Tragedy strikes when a tree dies in a seed, a man in a boy, a woman in a girl, an idea in a mind. For untold millions, vision die unseen, songs die unsung, plans die unexecuted, and futures die buried in the past. The problems of our world go unanswered because potentials remain buried”

COURAGE: HOW CAN I OVERCOME MY FEARS?

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2”Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give them – to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates –all the Hittite country –to the Great Sea on the west. 5. No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

6”Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8. Do not let this Book of the law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written it .Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. “Joshua 1:1-9 NIV

CONFESSION: WHAT SHOULD I BE SAYING?

“25 And a certain woman, which had issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physician, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,27 When she had heard of Jesus ,came I the press behind ,and touch his garment. 28 For SHE SAID, if may touch but his clothes, I SHALL BE WHOLE.

29And straightway the foundation of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she healed of the plague.30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out him, turned him about in the press, and said, who touch my clothes?

…34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Mathew 5:25-30, 34

“Dominion comes through confession and corresponding action. “ SAM OYE

MINDSET: HOW SHOULD I BE THINKING?

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” Proverbs 23:7

“For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].” Philippians 4:8 Amp

“Quitting is never an option on the road to success. Find the way forward. If you have a positive mindset and are willing to persevere, there is little that is beyond your reach. The attitude of being ready to work even in the face of challenges and despite odds is what will make all the difference in your life.” Roopleen

GOAL SETTING: WHAT DO I WANT TO ACHIEVE?

 

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him….” Psalm 37:4-5

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:19

“Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.” Proverbs 24:27

“Here is a great rule for success: Think on paper. Only about 3% of adults have clear, written goals. These people accomplish five and ten times as much as people of equal or better education and ability, but who have never taken the time to write out exactly what it is they want.”   Brian Tracy

VISION: WHAT DO I WANT TO SEE?

“Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint…” Proverbs 29:18 (ASV)

“Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18 (AMP)

What you are seeing today must never stop you from creating what you would want to see in the future. Vision is the ability to develop a mental picture of the kind of future you would want to have. It is a divine revelation of God’s intentions concerning your future destination. Vision is the capacity to stand in your actuality (what is) and see your possibilities (what can be). Once you know who you are and why you are here on earth, you must then receive or create a clear mental picture of what you would want to see in your life, your family, community or nation.

PURPOSE: WHY AM I HERE?

 “God has MADE US what we are. He has CREATED US in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has PREPARED FOR US to DO.”

Ephesians 2:10 [Emphasis mine]

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, and to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

In our previous study, we looked at knowing who you are – your identity. In this study, we will focus on knowing your purpose. Identity deals with who God wants you to BE while purpose deals with what God wants you to DO.
