Impact is the effect or influence that an event, situation etc has on someone or something http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/impact.
God is the only one who truly impacts people,
organizations, structures and nations. Therefore, to impact people, you have to
be impacted by God and then God in you helps you to impact people to bring
about the required positive change or transformation you want to see in people.
Ultimately, this is what brings about fame.
It is God’s target audience for you whom you impact
that takes you to the heights God has for you. The people you think are high up
there that you patronize may not necessarily move you up the mark. I know
people who rather than pursue the specifics of God’s plans and purposes for their
lives, pursue connections to the famous, rich, those acknowledged and honored
by society in the quest to move up the ladder of life. Significantly, that is
where people always miss it. Stop running after the rich and famous so that you
can be recognized in order to belong to their class. Instead, ask God to
please, have mercy on you and forgive you, in Jesus mighty name, AMEN; so that
He alone will help you get to the desired heights you seek.
Impact your target audience and God will promote
you. The impact is to transform lives, not just routine products or services,
not just different products or services, but products and services that IMPACT;
that bring about positive transformation.
Significantly, it is carrying out our divinely
assigned tasks in the way God wants it done, where He wants it done, how He
wants it done that leads to impact and of course the money. But most often, we
like to reverse the order - money, a little work most often done shabbily, no
attention to details and excellence, not to think of impact and then we want
fame, acceptance, visibility and money.
Beloved, God blesses diligence, excellence, because
that is what impacts people to bring about a transformation in their lives and
the outcome of that transformation is glory to God. Reversing the order of God
carries the consequences of financial limitations. Therefore, to receive
healing from financial limitations requires sticking to a working with the
order of God – ministry, men, money – Deuteronomy Chapter 12 verses 7, 14 verse
29, 15 verse 4, 10, 14, 18, 16 verses 10, 15 to 17, 23 verse 20, 24 verse 19,
28 verses 1 to 13, 30 verse 9, Genesis Chapter 26 verses 12 to 14, 2 to 4,
Judges Chapter 13 verse 24, Proverbs Chapter 10 verses 6 and 22, Isaiah Chapter
61 verse 9.
Therefore, utilize the one opportunity, the one
chance you have to create other opportunities by impacting your target audience
positively. If you are highly positioned by God, use that gift and position to
serve God in His sanctuary. Do not refuse to do what God wants you to do on
account of people.
Stop the fire fighting approach and work your way up
with God. Be more concerned about
fulfilling your divine purpose, reaching out to God’s target audience for YOU
and not associating with the rich and famous. The blessings of God actually
came upon the children of God and overtook them – Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verse
2, Malachi Chapter 3 verse 10 and Psalm 23. What this means is that children of
God do not pursue, run after, chase blessings. Rather, blessings chase and run
after and pursue the children of God as they live in obedience to God because
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that they ever ask or think
of.
