Champions, Record Breakers and Trail Blazers
A
s a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, it is important to understand that our divine potential can be likened to potential energy or kinetic energy. When potential is dormant there is a failure of realization or under performance with respect to our God-given capacity. Every true child of God has the capacity to operate as a champion, record breaker and trail blazer. A champion is defined as one who shows marked superiority, who battles for the honour of another, is a militant advocate or defender and warrior or a fighter (Merriam-Webster dictionary). A record breaker is a person who achieves a better result or a higher level than has ever been achieved before (The Oxford Learners’ dictionary). A trail blazer is a person who is a leader in a field, especially one who does something before anyone else does (Collins dictionary). If you desire to be a champion, record breaker and trail blazer, there are certain spiritual laws that you will need to follow.
1.
The Law of Love –We must love God deeply and passionately. It is this love depth that sets us apart in our walk with God and this will eventually turn you into a wonder or an extraordinary expression of God’s grace. In 1 Corinthians 2:9, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”.
is key because it produces spiritual strength and the required inspiration to do exploits. The holder of Divine secrets will make you a star. Divine ideas are obtained via a concerted study of the word. The revelations of scripture keep believers ahead of their contemporaries when properly accessed and applied. In Psalms 119:130 says, “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”.
3.
The Law of Prayer – “To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing” (Martin Luther King Jr). Prayer must be your nature because without prayer you can’t achieve much. In the place of prayer, you can exchange your weakness for God’s strength (2 Chronicles 14:11) Every victory comes from God and prayer is vital.
4.
The Law of Vision – without vision it is impossible to do extraordinary things. Vision allows you to see things before they are accomplished (Jeremiah 1:11-12). Vision gets the dreams started. Emmitt Smith said that “dreaming, employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in”. Habakkuk 2:2-3 tells us that we must write down our vision so that we can run with it and it will come to pass at the appointed time.
