“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Genesis1:28 KJV
It is always very important to know who we are as believers so that we can access our inheritance. When God made man, everything He spoke concerning man was blessing and nothing else. According to Genesis 1:28; God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth, subdue the earth, and have dominion. “God blessed them” means that God empowered them. What this means is that you have all it takes to be anything God has said you will be.
God will not tell you to be something without empowering you. You have been empowered to succeed. The Church is made up of successful people. The believer belongs to a class of people that had been empowered to succeed. However, the response you give to God’s instruction will determine what you will get.
God spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12 and instructed him to get out of his country, his kindred and his father’s house and God made a promise to him that He would bless him, make his name great, make a great nation out of him and through him shall all nations of the earth be blessed. He was talking to a 75-year old man who was at the ‘midnight’ of his life and had no child. It is the same God that is telling you today that you are empowered. There is no margin of failure for the Word of God. All that God has spoken concerning you must come to pass, and you have no reason to give up on God. You have all it takes to make a success of your life. Go and succeed.
