STRATEGIC POSITIONING AND PRODUCTIVITY (11)
*This morning, I have received the grace from God to speak a blessing over your life. I declare that you are blessed, favoured, helped, assisted, supported, elevated, preserved, rescued, distinguished, decorated, anointed, defended and you experience all manners of spiritual advantages of what God can do. This week, nothing is permitted to die in your hand. Your joy knows no bounds and your heart is filled with rejoicing. Every door shut against you before now is commanded to open on their own accord in Jesus name!
*Our text this month is Matthew 5:13-16 and it reads thus: “Your lives are like salt among the people. But if you, like salt, become bland, how can your ‘saltiness’ be restored? Flavourless salt is good for nothing and will be thrown out and trampled on by others. “Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. 16 So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” (TPT).
*Again today, we realize that another function of salt is that it BINDS together all elements of a substance. It is a binding force, holding everything in their sure place. Salt is not a divider or disintegrator. NO! It brings together as a unifier; in fact, it can be called the rallying point for every constituent element. This is very crucial in measuring the success of anything as well as its relevance.
*Success and fulfilment are a product of unified effort, bringing every sphere of life into its right perspective. A man is said to be successful and fulfilled when everything about his life is in place. This is also true of an organization or an institution. An organization cannot be described as a successful one if the workers within the system are divided against themselves. Each and everyone of them must be at one.
*The interesting thing about unity, synergy and togetherness is that they never come about by accident. They happen or are experienced by the intentional effort of one man taking initiative to bring everyone together. This is achieved through peaceful living, vision sharing, delegation of duties, humility, respect for every individual and most importantly, genuine love for one another. What this means for you and me is that as we continually express our influence and maximize its advantages, we must play this role of salt – bringing everyone together.
*We must all become the rallying point in our organizations and the various systems and structures wherein we are located. We must promote peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, love, humility and every other value and attitude that makes people live together in peace, harmony and unity. This must be intentionally sought after because God commands His blessings when there is unity and harmony (Psalms 133:3)
*The advantage of strategic positioning and productivity can only be experienced when men are united in purpose, united at heart, united in pursuit and united in every respect. I therefore commend you to the mighty hand of the Lord and the word of His grace that in all things, you find it a thing of profit to God’s kingdom, to live in peace with all men as you bind them together in love and purpose to achieve every set goal and experience great exponential increase in your organizations in Jesus name!
