I want to show you a picture of you

John 4:32-34
1 Corinthians 9:16
Anybody serving is a servant.
You don’t need the title.
Expect the giant in you to come alive this year.
Expect the reality of your enthronement this year.
Expect to be sent for where you didn’t expect.
Like Joseph you will appear in the Palace like a dream of the night.
We are serving to actualise our heritage in Christ among others.
You can be a founder or pastor and not be a servant.
Some boast of how long they have been pastors but the day they shared intercessory prayer guidelines is the day he saw it last.
This year you shall not be missing on your duty post.
Only players are entitled to awards not referee.

He does his job and gets paid for it.
They don’t give commentators contract. It’s players they give contract.

Like David this year, you shall be enthroned.
No matter how challenged you may be in your career/business today, your change is taking place this year.
I mean this quarter, some this month.
Luke 1:33
Your slavery to sin, sickness, failure, struggling, ups and downs all end this year.
Grace to remain a servant at heart, go ahead and receive it.
On our way to Kaduna in 1984, we were stuck at Lokoja and wanted to get an attachment in Lokoja. We couldn’t get a vehicle and it was a Saturday night. Someone persuaded us to stay the night in his place at Lokoja. I told my men the best way to wake up early was to put their back on the bed and legs on the floor to wake up on time in order to leave by 4am.
As I went to lie down, God spoke to me via Psalm 71:21
I will multiply your greatness and comfort you on every side.
It is not members that are made in every church but followers.
