OBJECTIVE 

The goal of this teaching is to make us understand the reason why the life of many believers is barren of results. 

There are believers who even engage the right principles yet they are still unable to secure the results that they desire. 

This teaching is the secret to securing God's commitment in your life. 

INTRODUCTION 

The believer is the salt and the of the earth. 

If men only see and appreciate your good works and stop there you have not brought profit to the Kingdom. Seeing your good works in only one layer. They must end up glorifying your Father in heaven. 

SECTION ONE

DEFINITION

GLORIFY: 

a. To make famous. 

b. To announce the worth or the value of a person. 

c. To compel the attention of many towards that person or towards that object.

Seeing your good works will not automatically make people to glorify God. It is your assignment to make what they see force then to glorify God. 

They can see your good works and just clap for you as a great person or an intelligent person but there is a way you can present that result that it will make them glorify God. They key is not in them seeing your good works, the key is in the presentation. 

We desire to see results in every area of our lives and it is God's will that our Christian experience is full of results. 

God is not against the believer having and producing results. 

If the worth, the relevance and the fame of the Father and the Kingdom is not being perpetuated within your environment we have to examine the following:

1. You are not a true ambassador.

When God called and ordained you it means that no power should question your producing result because you were ordained and authorised by a government that is potent.  

Many people are not true ambassadors yet they want the honour of an ambassador. Like the sons of Sceva.. 

We have to vet your being saved and you love for God and His Kingdom. 

2. The extent and the kind of spiritual illumination that sponsors your desire for result. 

It is possible to be with Jesus and yet not have results.

Proximity to Jesus does not automatically guarantee results.  

It takes sufficient light to produce result. 

3. The presentation of your result is such that you are the one taking the glory. 

There are people who have paid the price to secure result but instead of using that result as a platform to glorify Jesus they chose to use it to glorify their self. 

As believers we have been bought with a price and we are brand ambassadors. The brand we are advertising is not Toyota. The brand we are advertising is not Mercedes.

As an ambassador what are the adjustments that you are making so that when people see you even from a distance they know that it is Jesus you are promoting. 

You don't know how far God can go when you have vowed that your life will represent Him. There are battles you will not know about. God will go before you because your heart is determined to see Him lifted. 

Most of our results in this Kingdom are largely based on principles not necessarily on relationship. So if your result just happens like that, except you present that result in a way and manner that it spells Jesus, it is possible that people can clap and you end up being a celebrity and not an ambassador. 

A celebrity has influence by whatever value they provide but an ambassador has purpose. God has not called us to be celebrities, He has called us to be ambassadors.

If being a celebrity is part of the pathway that leads you to becoming an ambassador then God will make it happen. 

If I know that the glorification of the King is directly tied to my result then I now pursue obtaining results not as a carnal quest but because I have purpose to what I am doing. 

There is no shame, there is no guilt and there is no regret to your pursuit when the goal is Jesus. 

When your desire for result is to the end that you will use that result to glorify God there is no limit to what He can do in your life. 

Most people want to become celebrities and not ambassadors. There is nothing in their life that is concerned in seeing God glorified. 

SUMMARY OF SECTION ONE 

1. There is nothing wrong in desiring results. 

2. God desires for us to produce results more than we can ever desire. 

2. The first thing is that beyond the results we must desire to see God glorified. 

Prayer: Ask God to search your heart and purify your motives. 

SECTION

THREE EXPRESSIONS OF GLORY IN THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER 

These three expressions must be captured in your life if the Father is to be glorified.  These are the three ways that our lives can bring glory to GOD. 

1.WISDOM 

WISDOM IS THAT WHICH CONTROLS THE INTELLECTUAL REALM

Wisdom is one of the seven things that was purchased for us in redemption. By redemption every believer in Christ should have access to wisdom. 

Wisdom is not just a mental state, there is the Spirit of wisdom. 

FOUR KINDS OF WISDOM 

a. Earthly wisdom. 

b. Sensual wisdom (common sense). 

c. Demonise wisdom. 

d. Supernatural wisdom (Wisdom from above). 

There is a relationship between wisdom and mighty works. 

Wisdom Is the supernatural ability to use the written word of God to make accurate decisions and to provide solutions to life's problems. 

Decisions decides destiny, and your decisions are products of your orientation and product of the information that moulds your belief system. 

If your life is full of problems without solutions then there is a bankruptcy of divine wisdom. 

It will be impossible for your life to be ordinary when you access divine wisdom. 

If your decisions keep leading you into pain, regrets and trouble then it is either you don't have wisdom or you are using another kind of wisdom, maybe earthly wisdom, or sensual wisdom or even diabolic wisdom. But the wisdom from above will only take you above. 

There are results that only wisdom can bring. 

Living in today's world requires walking in wisdom because the variety of options are many and all of them look like God. It is after five years that you will find out that you have been wasting your time.

Prayer: Father I receive an impartation of divine wisdom. 

 How to access divine wisdom

i. Through the word of God. 

ii. Through Prayer. 

iii. Impartation from the carries of this wisdom with proof. 

2. POWER: 

SUPERNATURAL POWER IS WHAT CONTROLS THE SPIRIT REALM

Power is the supernatural force responsible for enforcing the will of God. It is God's ability at work in a human and material vessel. 

The assignment of the Power of God is to make sure the will of God is enforced in your life. 

It took power to declare Jesus to be the Son of God. 

 If you are not strong and mighty even if you are sincere and faithful you will still fail. The requirement for dominion is strength and might. 

Supernatural Power is not for preachers, it is for everybody. 

You are not really a blessing if you ignore the power of God. 

EVERYTIME YOU SEE SATAN, TAKE BACK WISDOM AND BRING OUT POWER. THE LANGUAGE THAT CONQUERS SATAN IS POWER.

YOU DON'T USE WISDOM FOR SPIRITS, WISDOM IS FOR MEN. 

WISDOM IS FOR THE REALM OF MEN AND POWER IS FOR THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. 

Wisdom can build your business but it is power that keeps it. 

Dominion is a language of power. 

Prayer: Ask God for Supernatural Power. 

The cure for difficulty is power. 

The principal way the power of God is released through the saints is through words. 

3. WEALTH:

WEALTH IS WHAT CONROLS THE PHYSICAL REALM. THERE IS NO DOMINION IN THE EARTH REALM WITHOUT WEALTH. 

Our perspective when it comes to wealth and abundance is not self aggrandizement. 

It takes wisdom and power to get and retain wealth.

Lack and poverty is limiting and destructive. 

You are not truly prosperous until the house of God can testify of your prosperity. 

Prayer: The rod of the wicked nut not rest upon your inheritance. 

If you want to see the glory of God revealed in and through your life you must be able to conquer this three realms. 

SUMMARY 

To be built holistically as an ambassador you must grow in this three areas. 

Ask God for wisdom to conquer the intellectual realm, ask for power to conquer the supernatural realm, and for efficiency in the world of men ask for the wisdom, the power and the grace to retain wealth. 

The wisdom dimension of wealth requires time but the power dimension is instant.

Do you feel that you are being taken for granted? Do you feel that you deserve more respect than you are currently receiving? Or do you feel that your worth and value is not being acknowledged as it should? There are two ways to go about it.  You can either fight and bully people into respecting you or you can earn their respect by making a few adjustments. If you chose the later then this post is for you. Here are a few factors that will bring the result that you desire.  People often rate what level of respect to accord you based on their perception of who you are, and their perception is dependent on your presentation. In life, you don't always have a second chance to make a first time impression. Therefore, if you want to command respect then you must begin by ensuring that your presentation is not giving you out.  My idea of the concept 'respect is reciprocal' is this, if I respect myself and treat myself with value, dignity and honour others will have no choice but ...

The rat race vs complacency and mediocrity

  M any people are unconsciously caught up in a rat race today. They keep going in circles trying to get more out of life, comparing their self with their wealthy class mates, colleagues and contemporaries, with the feeling that the more wealth they are able to acquire the happier they will become. They will will rather trade their family and their health just to get the next dollar or a promotion at the work place.  This set of people are on a journey to satisfying the insatiable desire that resides in all of humanity and they will stop at nothing until they acquire everything their eyes can find.  On the other side of the street there are people who are satisfied with the level they are. They have no desire to change things around their life or to pursue anything that takes them out of their comfort zone.  They sneer at everyone who seems to be busy trying to make meaning out of their life, they consider such people to be greedy, selfish and reckless risky takers. ...

2. Your words:  Your mouth is the window to your heart. Whatever comes out of your mouth is a reflection of the state of your heart. It means that no one can know the state of your heart until you speak because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  People come into a new environment and because they are yet to speak it is safe to assume that they are wise, especially if they are properly dressed. However, the moment they start talking people can either withdraw every form of respect they had for them because their words does not correlate with their appearance or they can increase the level of respect they had for them.  It has been said that giving respect to a fool is like placing a golden ring in the snout of a pig. When people can't find wisdom in your words or trace any form of value in your speaking it will be difficult for them to accord you the respect that you deserve.  It is better to remain silent and allow people to assume that you are a wi...

5. Emotional Intelligence: This has to do with the ability to manage your emotions under all circumstances. If you are an impulsive person people will not take you seriously. Such people function based on what emotional state they are.  So when they are happy, you will see them junping around. When they are sad, you see them incapacitated by that feeling. When they are angry, they can set an entire building on fire. And when you question them they will often justify their actions and blame it on their feelings.  Truth be told, if you cannot master your feelings you will never be able to command the respect of those around you. If your feelings control you people won't know how to relate with you.  Feelings vacilate, and since you have made yourself a subject to your feelings you will go about acting like someone that is suffering from schizophrenia.  Let me make two important points at this junction and I will focus on the second point a little: a. Our feelings are o...

Excerpt: Grow Up part 1 Volume 4 (The Twelve Indicators Of Adulthood)

By -

1 . To grow up means you no longer need to be supervised before you do what is right. It means you comply with best practices whether someone is watching or not.  You always want to keep an eye on your child because you can't predict their next move. It is difficult to let a child alone in a room without making periodic checks on them. You want to make sure they are not destroying something and when when you ask them to get something done, you always want to put an eye on them to ensure that they comply with your instructions.  However, as an adult if you still require such policing before you do what is right it means that you have not really transited into adulthood. If your boss can not give you an instruction and expect you to do as you were told, if your parents still have to follow up on you just to make sure you are not doing something contrary to what you were told then it means that there is a gap in your transition process.  Taking responsibility is the hallmark...
