The First Shall Be Last
“But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.” — Matthew 19:30 NIV A statement that draws us back to be selfless if we want to be great.
Arise and Shine
No matter how many Christians are in this dark world, failure to let the Christ in us, who’s the light of the world, shine unto people, won’t make us influence them for Each believer has two intentional actions to do in order to witness Christ, and that is (1) “arise” and (2) “shine.”
Put on Christ
It’s one thing to call Jesus your Lord and yet another to let Him become Lord over every area of your life. Put on Christ in all endeavours of life.
You Are Different
You may have lived in societies where bad things are adopted as ordinary. Once you recognize God’s call upon your life, become conscious that you are different. Follow God, not the traditions of men. He will take you far.
Don’t Exalt Yourself
We are sheep amongst wolves in this world. Therefore, be wise. Don’t exalt yourself. Be humble, and let God exalt you.
Don’t Leave God’s Presence
Avoid misinterpreting God’s chastisement. Don’t leave God’s presence like Cain because of guilt or immaturity. I mean, don’t disassociate yourself from the church no matter what. It’s only a matter of time you’ll realize your decision was wrong.
Apply What You Learn
Don’t deceive yourself by making yourself available in spiritual gatherings, yet having your mind too made up to listen and practice the Word of God preached. Apply what you learn from the Word.

Change Your Presentation

However, he didn’t appear before Pharaoh with prison clothes. He changed his presentation. It’s not just about your gift, but how you present yourself before great people. Learn!
Spread the Net of Kingdom Influence
Through your fellowship with Jesus and consciousness that He’s always with you, you will be empowered to spread the net of kingdom influence in this dark world.
Run Spiritual Surveys
When Jesus asked Philip that “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”, He wasn’t confused. He knew what to do. But He run a spiritual survey to know what’s in the mind of Philip. Until spiritual leaders put team members creativity to task, they will be robbed to conceive spiritual and transformative ideas.
