Men are well packaged by the creator for delivery. The packaging is obvious so then the delivery must be obvious. Every package is for an assignment and fulfilment of a mandate. Men have locked up treasures within them, and manifestation of these treasures are extremely essential. The treasures inside of you are great, and therefore they must find an expression on the pedestal of greatness ( being in the original state of quality). When we say something is great, then we mean that there exist something that is more than ordinary in degree or state. Greatness is a state of being more than ordinary in degree. Your packaging is great because the treasures locked up inside of you are great. But at this point, it is essential that those great packages find expression and reign in their ordained stat. Meaning that you must wake up now to reign at the best of your time. You must not keep your package locked up, so as not to be like a grave yard loaded with many treasures but no parlance for manifestation, as Myles Munore once said " ...the wealthiest place on earth is not the gold mine of South Africa..... but the grave".( you are not a grave, therefore arise and manifest).
You are destined to be great, because your packaging is great and you have a mandate to fulfill. The Holy book in Jeremiah 1:5 says " Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations". And also Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end".
Listen, the king of today was once a baby. Regardless of the circumstances that surrounds your birth, your make up is wired up for greatness, but the law of process. Yes, the law of process, though greatness is locked up inside of you, you are loaded, but you must pass through a process. The Holy book in Romans 8:18-19 says "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God". Your pain today is for the healing of others whom you are sent to, therefore enjoy the pain. No man can manifest without passing through processes ( before gold finally looks attractive, it pass through refining fire), so therefore please calm down and enjoy your refining process. If you must last on platform of greatness, sustain the necessary scars now.
The world never celebrate consumers but contributors ( men that donate substantial values, not men that lived in duration without donation). Therefore in expressing and living in greatness, it's important that you carefully analyze your activities ( actions, reactions, inactions etc ) because they are voices for navigation on the path unto greatness.
Note : Life runs on principles ( you can choose to call it natural or spiritual principles, but note that all principles are of the divine being ). Here, let me call those principles life secrets. A man understood this in his early days and he was great in Job 29:4 "As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle".
Success emanates from secret. Men rule and sustain reign by secrets, so therefore search out these secrets. But here I will give you some essentials that pertain to greatness and there are:
*God
As seen in the introduction of this article, God created men and packaged them with treasures from creation. No man knows the best functionality of a product other than the manufacturer and in bit to communicate the functionality of the product, the manufacturer hands over a manual for the prospective user to read and use thereby. Men have no lasting greatness outside God. You can choose to boycott your ways and make it to the top, but without the God factor embedded, you can't last. You can choose to disagree here but I tell you without apology, spirituality is the foundation for greatness.
There is so much to know on this God factor because the circumference of man's attainment is loaded within the God factor. Any equation of life without God is like multiplying all resources with capital zero. At this point, I believe the previous paragraphs of this article have more details on this God factor.
Note: Never joke with God factor, because a joke with it is a joke with eternal irrelevance.
*Purpose
Understanding purpose make the journey of greatness faster.
Purpose is your reason for existence. You are to live and have your being within the sphere of your purpose. This is not complicated at all, it is simply living in the center of God's will for your existence. In the quest for purpose discovery and fulfilment, these questions are important to answer, and they are;
Who am I ?
Where am I from?
Why am I here on Earth?
What can I do?
Where am I going ?
Also, there is what we call mountain of influence because everybody can't be president, senator, teacher etc. Then you have to locate your own mountain of influence because therein is your purpose fulfilment magnified. Below are the mountain of influence;
Economy
Politics/Government
Education
Fashion/Art
Media/Entertainment
Family
Religion
For more on this purpose talk...... anticipate my article on it titled "Purpose; fulfilment of my existence".
*Your thought realm
Greatness have certain percentage to do with your thoughts. Thoughts are powerful, they design your world, they are voices in the realm of possibilities, they are drives on which your realities rides on. To be thoughtful is to purposeful, and to be purposeful is to be great. What makes the difference among men is their mindset. Men with visionary thoughts are men that attain greatness in life. You are your thoughts. A shallow thought means shallow living, because you can't live beyond the realm of your thoughts. Your thoughts determines your happenings and rewards. Thoughts are for construction of a better life. Your thought is absolutely your life. For more on this, check my article titled " My thoughts, My Life" to be released in few days time.
*Association and Engagement
Association determines what you see and get as your associates. Engagement determines what you get as your outcome. The law of association is an ancient law that makes or mar men. Here, you have to be careful with your life whether the association of yours will mar or make you. Your engagement is essential, because though greatness lies inside of you but your activities determines the manifestation.
In exploring this factor, ask your these questions;
Who are my friends?
How do I spend my time?
Finally, the world does not celebrate mediocre, therefore strive to be great because you are created to be.
