To step up your game implies that you have already
have an ongoing game. But wherever you are in that game and irrespective of
whatever successes you have achieved, you still have more ground to cover as
you have not seen your best days yet. Therefore, take a quality decision to
step up your game. How, you may ask.
Be more diligent in whatever God assigned you to do
on planet earth. The widow of the indebted prophet was asked to SELL the Oil
she had, PAY her Debts and LIVE on the Rest. Please take note of the Key
phrases such as a jar of oil, GO implying that she should move, possibly from
her comfort zone as well as act. Additionally, she was asked to borrow vessels
from everywhere, from all your neighbours. The prophet was very specific in his
instructions to the widow; she was to borrow vessels from everywhere, all her
neighbours, and significantly, empty vessels in large quantities (many, as many
as you can borrow. She was also to shut the door behind her (avoid
distractions, run away from them; focus, concentrate on what has to be done).
Pour the jar of oil into all the vessels, and as each vessel is filled, set it
aside so that you have the filled vessels on one side and the empty vessels on
one side. The widow followed through on every one of the instructions and
significantly became not only debt free but financially free for the rest of
her life.
The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10
to 31 consistently stretched out the curtains to enlarge her tent in about
every area of life – as a child of God, as a wife, as a mother, as a mistress
and leader in the home, as a business woman and as an individual in her
community. She diligently and
intelligently stretched out her curtains, reinvesting profits in diverse
businesses; always considering the implications of doing so. She is a role
model.
Be more
prayerful as you really cannot do anything on your won. God is the One Who
opens doors for you. You need Him to help you at all times. Therefore pray to
God at all times as prayer allows God to act.
Be Grateful to God, Gratitude to God should be a
lifestyle, a daily practice. Make it a habit to come before His presence with thanksgiving on a
daily basis. Beloved, let your heart be filled with thanks when you come before
God. Be thankful because you are in the Presence of Him who is able to do all
things – a great God and a great King above all gods. Please see Psalm 95.
Overtime, your lifestyle
will become that of gratitude and thanksgiving to God.
Place the right value on yourself. Do not allow
anyone tone down your value. Rather, consistently upgrade your value by the
Spirit of God. There is nothing wrong with what you own presently. Simply
enhance their values by upgrading the quality in terms of aesthetics such as
making it glow more, tweak the cut and design to give it a more contemporary
look, add embellishments, refine the content, make general improvements. Always
add value to what you own. It is knowing the right refurbishment to give to
whatever you own that gives it the right value. Buckingham Palace has always existed
but it is the right and quality maintenance given to that beautiful and iconic
palace that give it the value it has. The same applies to the items of value in
that palace. You can also place the
right value on you and what you own and you become iconic and priceless.
Do not play second fiddle to anyone. Be who God
created you to be – a global brand, relevant, dominant and significant.
