KEY TO THE TOP

SCRIPTURE: And the Lord said unto her, two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. – Genesis 25:23

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your sense of value determines the weight of your destiny. .

Sometime ago, a bishop came to our church for a meeting and in that meeting was another man of God who indicated interest in seeing the bishop after the meeting. He told him that he attended the same Bible School with the Bishop and they were even in the same class. He also told him how the Bishop was passionate for God while they were in the Bible school. Today, the difference between the Bishop and many of his classmates is like heaven and earth.

Now, what could be responsible for such drastic difference between the Bishop and his classmates?
The simple answer is value for God and persistent pursuit of life’s vision!

I also read a story of Wesley and Lesley Brown, the twin babies who were abandoned by their mother in an uncompleted building and were picked up and raised by another woman. Later in life, Lesley became a motivational speaker and counselor to presidents in the United States of America at the frequency of value, while Wesley became a drunkard for lack of value in life.

You see, the difference between two people is in their values. Your sense of value determines the weight of your destiny.

Remember this: Your sense of value determines the weight of your destiny.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to cultivate life enhancing values.
2. Live daily by strong values.

PRAYER: Help me O LORD, to be a person of strong value. Give me the grace to abide by the principles of Your Word for the transformation of my life, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
