The Power To Become Yourself
Have you ever wondered why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Why most members of the church are tired, don’t have enough money or don’t have money, and watching the people who are rich that has the money? Do you want to be poor? Let’s explore, what God has in mind for His children?
Genesis 1:28 KJV
“God blessed them (male and female), and God said unto them, Be fruitful (your products), and multiply (increase by a million times), and replenish (distribute to the public) the earth, and subdue (to control the market) it: and have dominion (rulership) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Luke 16:8 NIV
“The master commended (praised) the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world (unbeliever) are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light (believer in Christ Jesus).”
The strategy to dominate in verse 28 of Genesis has been used by the world and not by the children of light because most do not understand the concept (idea) and they have not found their purpose. Every company in the world uses this program or principle. It is God’s kingdom system. This verse shows us, how to be successful in business? God is giving us His instructions.
Many churches today wants us to stay away from the world. Jesus opposes to this statement because He has sent us into the world. He wants us to learn what they know and apply it to our life. We have all the tools we need to deploy (to release our gift) ourselves, while we are working for someone. We all know an employment is temporary and deployment is permanent. God intended for us to dominate the earth and to impact it with our talents. For example, this is after we have refined our gift, we produce a fruit (product). Like the manuscripts I have written is my fruit (my produce). God said to be “fruitful,” but this is not enough. He said to “multiply.” Now, I have to turn it into a book after editing and make copies to increase my fruit. However, God believes this is still not enough, so He said to “replenish.” Replenish means to distribute. That means I have to get it out of my house, sell it, and get it into the hands of the people. And then, to “subdue” or control part of the market. Like using Fast Pencil or Amazon to distribute it worldwide.
God gave each and every one of us a talent. (Matthew 25:18, 14-30) He doesn’t want us to bury it in our grave. The grave is a wealthy plot because there were songs or books that have not been written. Inventions that have never come to fruition. Ideas that have never manifested, to make the world a better place and so on. Let’s not be part of this statistic. God loves you and He wants you to refine your gift to serve it to the world. Just like the seed, God has to make sure it reaches its bearing stage. He wants to see our end as success. God bless you!
