  DEPLOYING YOUR POTENTIALS “ Deploying your potential is the porter to a life of influence and impact .”- C larkson O. A debayo Esq. Every creature created by God was created with a potential inside of them, no one was created void. However, potentials are not there to be passive or dormant instead they reside in man as a gift in us to serve a purpose in our world to many generations. Although the end to the potential in us is to be deployed, nevertheless there's need to first acknowledge the fact that within us lies a potential that must deployed to help impact lives and destiny, because whatever is not acknowledge cannot be discovered and utilized. “The acknowledgement of the potential within you is the starting point into discovering your potential” ---Tope Ogundele However, discovering your potential is not enough, but your willingness and commitment to deploy it through consistent nurturing and cultivation of these potentials makes you a gift to many generations.

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 56, THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: CREATING VALUE

  CREATING VALUE   Man has always been known for consistency in his quest to make money and fame, which is his definition of success. He is always looking for shortcuts just to make money and become rich and successful as they call it, but paid little or no attention to creating value which is indeed the easiest way to becoming successful. God was so deliberate when he created man, his desire is that man will be productive and create lasting values that impact the lives of everyone around him (Gen. 1:27-28). Value is anything you do that makes someone else’s life happier, easier, or more profitable . Creating value on the other hand means doing something to meet a need, filling a void, proffering solution to problems, or improving the way a good or service is being offered. Creating value makes you valuable, successful, and influential. Here are some tips on how to create value: THE GOD FACTOR:   You need God if you will create value. The presence of God is what gives mea...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 56: THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: AN INFLUENCER

  THE MALE MAN: AN INFLUENCER    From the dawn of time, man was created and formed in the image of the living God and charged with the charter of dominion. He was furnished everything he needed under heaven, to rule, multiply and dominate the earth. The male man however, was given the responsibility of bringing this to manifestation. It is expected that the man wakes up to responsibility and takes charge of what is his, before he loses it. For the man to attain full potential and become an agent of positive change and transformation in the society, a lot of factors must come to play. To be able to achieve this, man must take up ‘leadership’ from the home-front to the societal level.  John C. Maxwell in his book the 360º Leader defines leadership as “influence, and influence can be seen as one’s ability to alter or change the behavior, decisions and outcomes of other people either negatively or positively.” This is the lot of man, to be a major influencer in the socie...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 54, THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: INTEGRITY

THE MAN: INTEGRITY   Man is the apex and most significant part of the creation of God. God thrust the Earth into his hands to maintain it and to dominate over other creations of His. Man has since been in dominance over the activities on Earth. It is worthy of note to know that God created man in His own likeness and image. So, Man is the representation of God on Earth. By implication, lots are expected of Man beyond dominance. He is to live like God in character and values. Among-st  many other characters and values of God are Integrity, Righteousness, Justice, Love, etc. Our focus in this section is on the subject of Integrity. Many have discussed extensively on Integrity, so I’ll like to reference them while I drive home the point on the need to have Integrity in our dealings and interactions. Charles Spurgeon, in his quest to explain the dire need of the display of integrity, said “Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance o...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 53, THEME: THE MAN, TOPIC: A MAN OF VISION.

A Man of Vision vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.   it is a mental image of what the future will or could be like. a man of vision is one who knows why he is here, what he must do, how and when he must do it and he is already doing it. vision gives our lives a sense of direction while a lack of vision makes life meaningless. once you have a vision of what you must accomplish, you become an effective person. according to john Maxwell, vision distinguishes "effective people" from "efficient people". while efficient people do things right; effective people do the right things. when you have a vision, it becomes the energy behind every effort and the force that pushes you through all the problems. Hellen Keller was asked, "what would be worse than being born blind?" she replied, "to have sight without vision". in acts 26:16-19 Paul told king Agrippa about his vision. there Jesus to...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES, "THE MAN" TOPIC: DYING EMPTY

Everyone exists, but not everyone truly lives.   Myles  Munroe  was right when he said that “the grave is the richest place on earth.” _ Humanity has seen thousands and thousands of people since inception, but what preserves the memory of those we remember today is basically what they did while they were alive. “Everybody will die, but maybe not everybody would have truly lived before dying.”   Dying empty is not just an event. It is a culmination of a series of events hinged on intentional living. To die empty, we cannot neglect the question of purpose. Man is a being of purpose. He was created with an intention. In a bid to die empty, we must pay close attention to the "3Ds of purpose".   Discovering Purpose.   Developing Purpose.   Deploying Purpose.   PURPOSE DISCOVERY. Until we have discovered the purpose for living, dying empty will be mere and empty talk.   I submit to you, that God sent you her...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES (51) "THE MAN"

THE MAN “A great man isn’t afraid to do what is right, no matter what.” The male man is a being created in the image of God and after His likeness, he is well decorated by God to function like Him and act like Him. God had a perfect plan for the male man, because he is the crown of God’s creation. The fall of man in the garden of Eden changed the original plan of God, nevertheless He did not give up on man God created man to have dominion over all creation, and saddled him with enormous responsibility which includes creating value upon the earth, preserving and nurturing all of creation into God’s perfect will. The world is shaped by the decisions of men, from time immemorial the specie called man, has been associated with a lot of things that are not approved by God, things that have limited the original purpose of God for the male man. Such things go against the original order of God. Sin is transgression of God’s law, man in both present and past dispensations have bee...
