As a Christian, God has made you a watchman over those in your sphere of contact; their lives have been committed to your trust .You have been sent and anointed to reconcile men to God through the gospel, God`s only power to save all that will believe .You are the apostle of Jesus Christ, His sent one, in your world today and the Holy Spirit helps you accomplish this great call as you yield to him in fellowship every day.

So then, you must take up the responsibility of reaching out with the gospel of God’s love. That’s what the friendships you cultivate everyday are for. Stay in your unique chariot (your vehicle of life, your sphere of contact and scope of influence). Don`t jump out without accomplishing the work of God in impacting everyone you meet with the life of Christ in your Spirit .This is your honor! This is your time! This is your day to burn and shine in a world of darkness, changing lives through the Word and by His Spirit.

…And know that you are God’s watchman over the souls in your world today and for all time!

The picture you have about yourself is very important. This is because your success or failure in life is dependent on it. The word of God clearly shows that you are what you think…as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.…Read more

God’s picture of you: God sees you as “…a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people…” (1 Peter 2:9). This should let you know you are valuable to God. He paid a dear price to save you and make you His very own.  You are worth more than many sparrows!

Focus on the real picture…in the Word:  You are identified with Christ, for your life is hid with Him in God.  You are an over comer; more than a conqueror, victorious, God’s workmanship; anointed for good works, an ambassador, a package of power, the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus hallelujah! You must constantly remind yourself of this picture that God sees, till you become so convinced and deeply conscious of this ‘you’.

Chose to see you like God does…It really does not matter how people see you; what matters is how you see yourself. Chose to see ‘you’ with the eyes of God and be bold to live out what you see.

Confessions: I see myself the way God sees me; I am who God says I am; I have what God says I have and I can do what God says I can do. I know who I am. I am blessed and prospered. I am a success, a victor, more than a conqueror. As I look at me in the mirror of the word, I am changed into the image I see from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.

2Timothy 2:20-21 “but in a great house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor and some to dishonor…”

What kind of vessel are you? A vessel unto honor is one that is functioning in its place; the one unto dishonor is one that is not functioning in its place. Find your place in the word of God and when you do stay there. Do not desire to be like another brother or sister but be glad to be you and make the best of you. Develop your potentials and take pride in that call. Be glad for what God has called you to do and do it unto Him. When you do, no one can offend so much as to make you leave that call. If you have not found your place, it is time to do so now. Become faithful to your call, that’s what matters.

Make your comments on this excerpt ’serving the Lord’ by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

God has separated you from the rest of the world and positioned you in a different class (the class of the successful). From that point on, God expects you to be the success story. It’s your responsibility to practice the life of success.

Keys to Successful Living: There are vital keys to successful living that you must practice to experience true success daily;
Practice Thinking Right
The predominating thought in your mind will ultimately determine the quality of your life. – Your life will not be different from how you think (Proverbs 23:7)
- Don’t think the way the rest of the world does, use God’s word to renew your mind and change your life (Romans 12:2)
Practice Talking Right
The Lord has done so much for you, but it is our responsibility to keep ourselves in the blessing. You can be as successful as you desire. Your tongue controls everything in your life. With it, you can chart the course of your life. (James 3:5)
- You can choose what you want your life to be (Deut 30:19; Jer.3:10-11). Your mouth is the key that’ll unlock the blessing in your life.

Practice Meditating on God’s Word
You must take out time to meditate on the word of God daily. Constant meditation yield great dividends; – As you meditate, you will receive knowledge of how to make your way prosperous and have good success (Joshua 1:8). – Meditating on the word makes you recognize who you are in Christ and what you have in him. It makes you locate yourself in Christ. Make up your mind to practice the successful life everyday!
