Dominion over the earth

 

In his class, he was known as the dumbest of all. As dumb as the word, he effortlessly comes out among the least at the end of the sessions. That was how it was going with him. The constants casting of aspersions, throwing of tantrums did not yield any change either. For him, he has seen himself as a failure and that is it. But someone played the objection full and squarely, Sonya Carson, did not believe that her son is a failure and her belief moved her to do something which transited Ben Carson from the path of failure to Success, from nobody to a renown Neurosurgeon, his name legibly carved on the annals of history as the first person to separate Siamese twins.

God did not create a failure. It doesn’t matter if you have ever failed before or not the undiluted truth is this—that you are not and will never be a failure. You are a perfect reflection of your creator’s image. He knows everything about you that nobody knows about. Yes, society we live in have set some standard that measures how well you perform. And when you do not meet the standards, sometimes not even them will tag you a failure but you will tag yourself as such having accessed yourself in the light of what is expected of you, your age brackets and what have you. You were created to dominate and can never be a failure.

Some lifestyles, habits create a negative flux of energy that ends in failure, stagnancy, limitation of life and they can be seen under the following:

a)     Disobedience, murmuring to His word. Numbers 14 vs 23.

b)     Prayerlessness. James 4 vs 2

c)     Lack of self-revelation. Jeremiah 1 vs 5.

d)     Still yoked with Uzziah’s and Lot’s.  Isaiah 6 vs 1, Genesis 13 vs 14.

e)     Faithlessness. Hebrew 11 vs 6

f)       Laziness. James 2 vs 26, 2 Thessalonians 3 vs 10.

g)     Sin. Ecclesiastes 8 vs 13-14. Job 20 vs 7

  The list is endless. Examine your life and see if there is an area that needs amendments. Ben Carson came out at the top when he became discipline, sturdy and reliance on God more.

Thoughts: How is my life today? Does it please God? Is there anything that needs a change.

Prayers: God help me to amend my ways and live to reflect the dominion which you bestowed on me at the point of creation.
