God is not a magician; HE is a deliberate God, who takes men through a process until you get to your place of destiny.
He will give you opportunity (ies) in life, so the rest will now depend on you. So for the greater height that God has planned for you, there are ladders to climb to the place which are not negotiable if you want a true greatness in life and destiny. No short cut. The things that God gives are:
1.SACRIFICE: God gives you an opportunity to sacrifice yourself for others and at the place of your sacrifice greatness comes true. Look t Jesus in Phil.2:5-10, after the sacrifice of Himself for the redemption of man, He was highly exalted. The greater you sacrifice, the greater the place you get to. Be ready to sacrifice yourself, time, money and things. No greatness without sacrifice.
Any place you get to without a corresponding sacrifice, things can't be handled well. It will enter your head and at the end you can't sustain it. Because there is no life of sacrifice in you.
Sacrifice is not suffering, it is a price of great heights that you want whether spiritually or secular, be ready to sacrifice, the more you sacrifice, the more you rise in life.
Life is sacrifice, marriage is sacrifice, if you can sacrifice as a man/woman you can get to that platform, so also in ministry, you will have to sacrifice a lot but not in vain. May the Lord give you grace in the name of Jesus.
God is a deliberate God, who takes men through a process before putting them in a place (of course the greater heights.
There will always be an opportunity for men to be great in God's way, so becoming great now depends on how a man can make use of the opportunity.
Another ladder to greatness is
2. SERVICE: God anoints service. It is Major part of the process to greater heights.
Look at 2Kings3:11, here we see the reason for the anointing that Elisha received, he served Elijah. You can't get the authentic anointing by sitting where the anointed seat but through service. Elisha served his way into the anointing. Don't be deceived, service is the key and God will give you opportunity to serve. Jesus served in Luke22;26, greatness and service can't be separated from each other.
True service attracts authentic anointing; God can't mistakenly put the anointing on a man that is not serving. For example, Saul the first king of Israel was anointed at the place of service, where he was looking for his father’s sheep. David was anointed right when he was serving his father, men may not see you in the place of service but God does and the rewards are in place. Don't let people mock service to you. It has nothing to do with who God has chosen you to serve; it is between you and God.
Remember the anointing you don't serve can't mistakenly drop on you.
There is always an opportunity that God gives to every individual in life to move into their destiny. God will not do things without a pre-plan. God is a deliberate God not a magician; He is a God of process. Men get to their place of destiny by taking the process of God and opportuity that comes their way with it serious.
Another opportunity that God has given to man that will put him in his place is:
3. SEED: Your seed towards your destiny is a tool that can't fail. Inasmuch it is sown correctly at the right time on the right ground, it will definitely bring greatness.
The seed principle has never fail and it can't fail, there are seasons for seed which you must not miss. For the future that God has given you, there are seeds you must sow that will give you the harvest that is the exact you are to be. The devil himself can't stop the harvest of a seed that has been properly sown; in fact God can't change HIS mind about the harvest. You can say the seed is the sure means to greatness. Every seed sown will always multiply. Another thing is that the seed should be sown deliberately towards your future and destiny. Don't be careless with your seed; it is the gift of God to man to become very great on the earth. Sow into the anointing, marriage, Children, career and another man, you will just end up great.
