1. Self realization in Christ. Know who you are in Christ. For example, who are you? You are a child of the Almighty God. Your Father own the whole world. Ps. 24:1- 1The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2. Stop thinking average. Have a vision for your life. Prov. 29: 18 says; where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law happy is he.
Brethren, everyone ends up somewhere in life, few people end up somewhere on purpose. Those are the ones with vision. When speaking about vision, not a simple vision, but multifaceted vision. They have visions for the key roles they are assigned in the journey in life.

So what is vision? Webster dictionary defines vision as :

1. Acts or power of imagination

2. Unusual wisdom in foreseeing what if your life really mattered at all?

Tell someone DEVELOP A CLEAR VISION FOR YOUR LIFE. The good thing about vision is that vision will produce

1. Passion

2. Motivation

3. Direction

4. Purpose

You have a sleeping giant in you, visions will make it come alive.

(The study of the man that went to the star-reader), it shows that men are born, but kings are made. From that story, I want to let you know that if it is to be, it is up to you.

AND YOU NEED 7 DS TO REIGN.

1. Desire – There must be a desire to be great, you must be discontented with your present situation, aspire high.

Matthew 5:6- 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

2. Decision. Take a decision where you want to be in life.

Ruth 1:16-17- Ruth said in - 16And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

17Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

So, Ruth took a quality decision. Two women born with the seed of greatness in them and one was decisive positively, the other took a wrong decision and went back to her idols and to obscurity, unsung and uncelebrated. Take a quality decision today to follow God, and be consistent, remain faithful till the end.

Daniel 1:8 - 8But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

3. Determination – Means being resolute or having firmness of purpose. Resolute to make the best out of your life.

The G.O. refused to eat for 8 days
4. The next D is Diligence. Diligence means to be hardworking. To be consistently conscientious in what God has placed in your hand to do.

Prov. 22:29 says, Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

Average input in anything will produce average result.

Ecc. 9:10 says, whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave where thou goest.

5. Discipline – self control. The word disciple is a disciplined follower of the Lord Jesus . You cannot attain to much in life if you are not disciplined. For you to reign, you must be disciplined.

6. Dedication – Being devoted to a particular cause, task or purpose. Be dedicated to your vision at the expense of every other thing, then you are on your way to the top.

7. The seventh D is Divine Favor. Having – all you need God's blessing to lift you up. God's factor in dominion and in being able to reign in life and live a life of dominion, power and authority cannot be overemphasized.

8. Mastery

Brethren, it is God that makes things to happen, so you should always pray for favor and mercy.

Does God's Word ever make you uncomfortable? When you read your Bible, does what you read sometimes make you uneasy? That's just us realizing that God is alive, He can read our thoughts and judge our intentions. Whenever God speaks to us it's always for a specific purpose. He knows our hearts and minds. And He knows exactly what we need to hear, when we need to hear it...whether we want to hear it or not. Sure, we can try to escape the discomfort of conviction by avoiding God. We don't have to read the Bible or we can act as though we didn't hear Him clearly tells us something. But we'd only be hurting ourselves. He wants us...but we "need" Him. It would be to our benefit to make the connection between our life and what God is saying to us through His Word. Because good or bad, He knows our motives for everything we do. We need to take every word from God very seriously and know that He is able to judge our hearts and minds.
Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
