Topic: The Impact Of Value
Until your values are strong, you cannot exist as a valuable person. What you know and how you live determine the strength of your voice.
SCRIPTURE: And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. Genesis 25:23
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: People of high value command high audience.
For a very long time, I have wondered why people end up differently in life, even when they started at the same level. Among schoolmates or classmates, there were those who were ahead academically in school but suddenly became so different in outcome and results in life.
Even among Christian brethren, two persons may answer the altar call of salvation the same day but they still end up differently in life. This thing also happens to siblings who grew up together and eventually, one became different in outcome from the other one.
Now, two things that differentiate people in life are principles and values. This refers to how we think, why we do what we do and what we consider the most important things of life.
Now, take note of key thoughts on value:
1. The values you live by will determine your rating and worth in life (Genesis 12:2-3)
Until your values are strong, you cannot exist as a valuable person. What you know and how you live determine the strength of your voice.
2. The values you live by determine the audience you command.
People of high value command high audience. If there is a value inside that is discernible, there will be a command or a trooping of people to your calling.
3. The values you live by determine the impact of your life.
High value equals high impact; that is why valueless people are impactless people. If you want to see heavy impact in life, you must be a man of heavy values.
4. The values you maintain in life determine the inflow into your life.
Resources flow in the direction of people of high value system because people of value are people who can be trusted.
Beloved, receive the grace to value God and His Word above all things in Jesus Name.
REMEMBER THIS: People of high value command high audience.
ASSIGNMENTS:

PRAYER: Lord I ask for the grace to value the things of God above anything else. Help me to put You first in everything I do, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
