STUN YOUR WORLD
By Bishop Mike Okonkwo

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”. 1 John 5:4 (KJV)
As a believer, you are not ordinary; you are wired and equipped to stun your world. You carry within you a divine capacity to stand out, influence systems, and operate with the same excellence and wisdom that Jesus demonstrated. Yet, many of us are tempted to settle for less or make excuses for why we aren’t making a formidable impact. But consider what Jesus said in John 17:18 “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them.” In other words, you were sent with the same mandate as Jesus. In verse 22, He said you were sent with the same glory. That’s profound! You are not lacking in ability; you are full of divine potential. The business world, the political arena, the creative industry, and every sphere of life should be stunned by your display of uncommon wisdom, innovation, and excellence.
But here’s the clincher: you cannot manifest kingdom wisdom without being deeply rooted in the Word of God. The extent to which you understand the power of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, and what it has made available to you, will determine how far you will go. So, ensure you are loaded with the Word. Meditate on it. Speak it. Live it. It is your advantage.
Beloved, how far are you willing to go, and what level are you prepared to play this year? Will this be just another routine year, or are you positioning yourself to make an impact? Remember, the world system is not designed to favour you, so you must rise above it with a superior wisdom. The advantage you have is the God factor, and you must leverage it.
Look at Joseph in Genesis 41. By divine insight, he not only interpreted Pharaoh’s dream but also presented a 14-year national economic strategy. That single act stunned the Egyptian empire and ushered him into unprecedented influence and relevance.
I declare that you will win in every competition of life. You are already an overcomer through Christ. Therefore, you will fulfill your purpose.
