[Articles] You Want To Become?

You want to start a business? Build capacity!

You want to get married? Build capacity!

You want to be able to impact men? Build capacity!

You want to be a blessing to this generation? Build capacity!

You want to be heard, famous and wealthy? Build capacity!

It is good that we have plans, desires and dreams but we don't just wake up to BECOME without building capacity. No ma, no sir! It doesn't work that way.

You cannot wake up one morning and want to be known like Mercy Chinwo or be a generational asset like Apostle Joshua Selman. They didn't just wake up to all they are now, they built capacity before they got there and they are still building to get to where God is taking them.

Many of us want to see results before we even start working on anything, we just want to "blow" like most people call it. No blue prints, no days of building, no baking or refining. We just want to become powerful, well known and famous. I laugh in Chinese.

Now, instead of using our time to build capacity, become more valuable and work on ourselves, we will be striving to get the fame and wealth God is supposed to give us at the right time. We use all of our energy to make people like us, honor us and respect us instead of building capacity first and they will be drawn to you because of who you are.

There's so much God wants us to become yet there are steps and processes to get there, with God you cannot just blow, you must build, you must be worked on.

Plus, our focus should not be what we will get out of what we are doing but giving out our all and loving Jesus, allowing Him to raise us by Himself. You are supposed to be seeking God first not because of what you can get from Him that even if you get nothing, you will still follow.

This is how we approach God, not with a yahoo yahoo mindset. I want this, so I can be this and we are trying to lie to ourselves that we want to influence His kingdom, meanwhile we just want to become everything to promote our own selves.

God sees beyond, He knows you even better than you know yourself. So learn to walk step by step with Him, no rush. No hurry! You can't go out of God's will to do anything and expect Him to take the glory.

We will not all stand on pulpits but let it be known that all we do on earth is for kingdom purpose so we need God to do everything and anything. You cannot bargain with the devil and expect God to bless you.

Stand with God, build capacity! Wait for His time, depend on His word, fix your eyes on Jesus, don't shift from your purpose and calling.

We may not be all God has said about us now but we must not cut corners if we truly want to become and work in God's plan for us that eyes have not seen neither has ears heard or has it even crossed the mind of man. Then, we must BUILD CAPACITY NOW!

If we must become more, then we must dig deeper, stay in the secret place, undergo spiritual surgery, die to flesh, be refined and remoulded. We cannot show forth ordinary because what we are called for is a BATTLE.

We are called to stand as soldiers of Christ in all aspects of the world, knowing our place in the kingdom and standing at our posts. Yet so many of us are still concerned about fame, money, followers! You are looking for people to call you Apostle, Prophet, man of God when you there's still more to do. God help us!

A powerful ministry doesn't come like that, a godly home and godly children is not a coincidence, a successful business doesn't just happen, being a generational asset or general is not what you just wake up to.

Child of God,

There is more! Awake! Arise!

Go to your secret place, there is a call, there is a drawing, deep calls unto deep!!

Yes, we will BECOME but we must first BUILD🔥
