od created you for a purpose and if you want to fulll
the divine mandate of God for your life, you need to
discover yourself. You cannot function effectively if
you fail to know that your life is an embodiment of God's
beauty.
It is very crucial to identify your real self and pursue your
dreams. Man lost his dominion in the Garden of Eden and
since then he has been striving so hard to take back his lost
Glory and Authority. In Genesis 1:31, the Bible says God was
very happy when he saw that all He created was beautiful.
God delights so much in you because he formed you in His
own likeness, and if you are indeed an image of God, then you
need to take your stand and take back all the lost glory that
may hinder you from walking victoriously in that Glory that
God has given to you. But before you can march victoriously
into that Divine destiny of God for your life, you need to
acknowledge his supremacy over you. You cannot attain that
Divine height if you do not accept God's Lordship over your
life. A ship without a rudder will denitely sink and also a
house without a strong and solid foundation will denitely
collapse. God has made these so easy and simple by sending
his begotten son to die on the Cross of Calvary John 3:16
and Jesus is the only sure and free passport to anywhere you

Rain
There will always be a rainy day. It is always the desire of
every farmer to see that it rains. You will always be faced with
drought and each person's drought differs. Never compare
yourself with anybody. You are a distinct and unique entity.
Before it rains, there must be good preparation and God is the
only one who gives rain in its due season. Your own season
will surely come, so there is no need of competing with or
envying anybody and you will surely experience your own
showers and abundance of rain. Only wait for the right
season.
Temperature
Temperature can be dened in terms of hotness or coldness.
Your attitude will surely determine your altitude in life. The
atmospheric condition of life may weigh you down from

Light
The Bible stated it clearly that Jesus Christ is the true light
and whosoever that walks in Him will never walk in darkness.
The awesome seed in you need the light which is Jesus Christ
to germinate into good fruits. You are born to shine as light,
but in as much as you fail to recognize yourself as a light, you
will remain in darkness. There will be a darkest moment
when you feel you are alone and things seem dark and gloomy
but in that shadow of darkness, Jesus which is the light of the
world will illuminate your darkest moment with His
brightness and your life will receive a new transformation.
Patience
Jesus talked about the beatitudes and if you truly want to
burst out of your hidding shell, you need to be patient and
persevere as you journey in life. The patience in you will bring
out the real portrait of what God want you to be in life. If your
life is devoid of patience, then you cannot get anywhere in life.
Surely you will have many platforms of meeting people who
can add values to your life, but if you think you know it all and
youre not patient enough, you will miss those golden
opportunities that will come your way. With all these factors,
you are indeed a success when you discover that you are a
special being and ordained person. These will give you a full
appraisal of your real self and you will be able to pursue your
dreams in life.

ccording to the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary
English, dormancy is basically dened as inactive or
not growing at the present time but able to be active
later. According to www.sprout.com, seed dormancy is
dened as a state in which seeds are prevented from
germinating even under environmental conditions normally
favorable for germination. These conditions are a complex
combination of water, light, temperature, gasses, mechanical
restrictions, seed coats, and hormone structures.
The seed in you may remain dormant if you don't put into
consideration all the necessary requirements. And when you
are in a state of inertia, the seed in you will remain dormant.
But the good news is that in your period of dormancy, God is
ever present. He knows you before your mother gave birth to
you and the Bible says His thoughts towards you are
thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end
(Jeremiah 29:11).
A state of dormancy is a very vital state for any seed that want

seed can be good or bad. A good seed will bring out
the best produce and vice-versa. Before that seed in
you can mature into a level of producing good fruits,
you need to have a glaring picture of what that seed will bring
out, that is, the outcome. For you to succeed in life, you need
a goal and this leads to the denition of what a goal is. A goal
is something that you hope to achieve in the future. It is also
the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired
result. Every player aims at scoring a goal and also aims at
defeating the opponent. Your success is determined by the
kind of goal you set for yourself. To attain a certain level in life,
there must be a particular goal one must set. The picture of
your dream in your heart will reect the kind of goal you have
set for yourself. Your picture can be small or big depending on
how you esteem yourself. If you have a big picture in your
heart, your goal will also be big and you will have a great
success as your outcome. The type of goal you set for yourself
will determine the height you will attain in life. Many people
aim high, but they allow negative inuence to destroy their
destinies. There is a need for you to have a priority if you want
to make headway in life. God should be your rst priority, and
thereafter other things follows. At this point let me ask you
these questions -

Your Goals, Your Priority
Likewise, you must be selective because not all soil is good for
planting. In other words, not all goals are achievable but your
own goals are achievable if the faith you have in yourself is
strong and solid. If your faith shivers, then the good seed in
you will not come out but remain hidden for life. Have faith in
God, be a goal getter and believe in yourself and you will be
able to achieve great things in life. The Bible says we walk by
faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). A concrete faith
brings out an effective result.

ear kills and for anybody to make it in life, one must be
able to conquer one's fear. In 2 Timothy 1:7, God says
he has not given us the spirit of fear but a spirit of love,
power and sound mind. For that hidden seed in you to
germinate, you need to be wholesome. If there is fear in you, you
will not be able to function in life. To conquer your fear, you need
to have a full understanding of what fear means so that you will
be able to face it squarely.
What is Fear?
Fear is a state of being frightened, afraid or worried that
something bad may happen. From this above denition of fear,
we will see that fear can steal away one's positive mentality
because when you are frightened, you will not be able to think
clearly and your state of mind will be affected. God is not an
author or originator of fear. Fear is from the devil and this is one
of the tools he is using to destroy life. You are victorious through
Jesus Christ who gave you that liberty. His love casts away all
fear. Do not allow fear to weigh you down but turn your fear to
victory and this is possible when you give all your worries to
God. He says in His word that we should cast all our anxiety
on him for he cares for us (I Peter 5:7). In the schizophrenic
scale of life, so many people have allowed fear to cut away
their ambition. Jesus can help you out if you are in this type
of situation. No need to fear or panic because fear cannot take
you higher, only Jesus can. Why not surrender to His
Lordship today and all your fears and worries will disappear.
Fear will only depress you and if you are depressed, your
emotion will be tampered with and this will disrupt that
awesome seed of greatness in you. You cannot ght your fear
by yourself; only God can help you because He is your creator
and He cares so much for you. Suppressing your fears can
only lead to total failure, but when God is with you, no fear can
limit you because he has the power over all things, including
your fear.

it. God has given us power over our thoughts but our
thoughts can have a great power over us if we fail to realize
and make use of our God given authority over it. Being
stagnant cannot help you in that journey of greatness, so you
need to buckle up and rise up and make your dream come
true. Believe that you can do anything through Christ that
strengthen you (Philippians 4:13) and do not allow your

With all these, the sky will be a starting point for you and you
will see yourself soaring high like an eagle.
