Take Vantage Positions 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

13 “You are the [a]salt of the earth; but if the salt has [b]lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]. 14 “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew Chapter 5 verses 13 to 16.
God set you on a hill? Are you on the hill? Joseph was born for global leadership but he was born and raised in Canaan until circumstances that would be considered negative but albeit positive moved him to Egypt, the place of global leadership where his divine IPs were accepted, relevant and made him significant and dominant.

What dreams were there for Joseph to interpret in Canaan, the jealousy and envy of his siblings that had snowballed to hatred and death wishes for him? Canaan was no place for him at that point in time for him because it was not the hill God set him on. . Egypt was and God took him there; and he was celebrated because his lights shone as they ought to have shone, and significantly where they should shine; and people saw the good works of Joseph and glorified God for filling Joseph with His Spirit to bless humanity.

Beloved, I have no idea where you are presently but if it is not God’s hill for you, then you need to move urgently to where God wants you to bless humanity. If it is a place of strife and contention, I advise that you get out of strife and contention into God’s plans and purposes for your life. Do not be embroiled in fruitless mental processes, utterances and activities that do not lead anywhere and do not promote.
You are rightly positioned, in fact, you have been given a vantage position for global visibility but do you know that you are so positioned? Do you even know the position not to talk of understanding the position and taking advantage of the position to emerge, flourish and bloom? Are your lights shining as they ought to shine and shining where they should shine so that people will see your good works and glorify your father in heaven? SHINE YOUR LIGHTS WHERE THEY SHOULD SHINE AND AS BRIGHTLY AS THEY OUGHT TO SHINE.

Your divine IPs are for a global audience and not your present Canaan where it appears as if you are a lone star. Therefore, target that global audience; find out how to reach and impact them using the platforms through which you can reach them and you have global visibility, acceptance, significance, dominance and relevance. Therefore utilize as many platforms that God makes available to you to share your divine IPs.

Acceptance, significance, dominance and relevance also come through impact that transforms lives and adds value to the quality of the lives of people. Therefore, always put impact ahead of visibility, acceptance, significance and dominance. Shalom.
