WHERE AM I FROM?


Someone might say, "Where am I from?" is the simplest question to answer. That fellow could just add his or her town, village, city, province or even country as an answer. Valid as that may seem, the answer is way beyond that. "Where am I from?" is a question that bothers on origin. So, "What is origin?". Origin is the point or place where something or someone begins, arises from or is derived. Simply put, the origin is the source or the fountainhead. A proper understanding of this question and its appropriate answer is pivotal to fulfilling your purpose in life.

While you must continue to appreciate your parents: the human vessels through whom God graciously allowed your birth, you must never forget your true origin: The Almighty God. David knew this so well, hence he wrote in the ninth verse of the thirty sixth chapter of Psalms, " For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light". Having identified your real origin. The next question is, "How do I begin to reflect the nature of my true origin?". This series is meant to be participatory, hence, I would give few answers to this question, and kindly request you to supply your answers too.

To reflect the nature of your true origin, you must pursue a personal and progressive relationship with God. This is one point that cannot be overemphasized. All these hide and seek, lukewarmness, and dual living must stop. You must be deliberate about it. Secondly, you must commit to a life of long-term perpetual growth through the study, integration and application of scriptural principles to everyday living. The scriptures provides guidelines on dealing with marital, political, economic, social, parenting, administrative, communal issues et all. Thirdly, God being a problem solver has in His infinite wisdom decided to solve some problems through people like you and I. Hence, learn to discover and discern the problems you were created to solve; acquire skills and build capacity to rise up to the challenge. This is where your light is meant to shine to the brightest.

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”. According to the bible text, the individual willing to embark on the journey to greater height must, hearken diligently, and observe to do all instructions rolled out to him or her.

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
