Genesis 1
Genesis 2
The uniqueness of your nature is not defined by your own physiological make up but rather its defined by the fact that they is a promise from God that has placed upon your precious life.
Indeed and in fact, it does not matter how much ill treatment has been administered unto you by your contemporaries.
The truth of the matter is that your life is precious.
Undoubtedly you have been chosen of God from among so many.
God chose you from among so many based upon a divine interest that he alone comprehends best because he is the largest beneficiary in choosing you for him.
You may walk on the same turf like everyone else but you not like everyone else.
You have been chosen, selected and anointed of God to fulfill his divine mandate upon the face of the earth.
There is a promise from God placed upon your precious life and that promise has got a designated time frame.
Nothing will deter the promise of God upon your life from coming to pass.
The elimination of processes by God is indicative of the fact that God is getting ready to fulfill his promise upon your life.
And the fulfillment of God's divine promise in your life will require no time frame and no timeline.
This is so because God is going to translate your spiritual essence into physical form and it will be drastic, sudden, abrupt, significant, and a ground breaking advancement within the confines of your status.
In Genesis chapter 1 we encounter the creation story and in this story God seems to be working with a timeline of six days.
However in Genesis 2 God translates that which he created into physical form and he does not require any given processes, time is not even a requirement to do what he will.
Once God eliminates processes in your life then he is about to reinforce a sudden work in your life that will catapult you on a more advanced level that was previously missing in your life.
They is a state of power that you are about to perform in thereof and it won't be by your efforts but by the grace of God.
A sudden transformation is about to occur in your life and it will happen void of any given processes as a matter of fact you won't have to go through nothing laborious.
In Genesis one God labored spiritually but in Genesis two he established that which he had created in Genesis 1 physically but effortlessly.
Thus in 2019 God is to establish you in an advanced physical form with no effort.

2019- A Quantum Leap
Genesis Chapter 1
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis Chapter 2
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Adam and Eve4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
In carefully analyzing Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis Chapter 2, we discover that God makes a sudden, drastic, abrupt, dramatic, great and significant movement and shift from spiritual creation to physical formation.
In Genesis chapter 1, God created the heavens and the earth.
And in Genesis Chapter 2:4, God formed (made) the heavens and the earth.
The power of God demonstrated in Genesis chapter 1 is not the same power that is exhibited in Genesis Chapter 2.
In Genesis chapter 1, God demonstrated his infinite capacity to create from nothing.
Everything God created in Genesis chapter 1 is systematically aligned and process orientated.
The creation story as its accounted in Genesis Chapter 1 is fundamentally made up of different intermediate levels which give definition to the process orientation of God’s creative capacity.
The power of God in Genesis chapter 1 brought into existence the plan and desire of God upon the face of the earth though it was invisible and intangible.
In Genesis chapter 1 God created the universe but they was no physical form in regards to everything created.
The power of God that introduces physical form to the things created in Genesis chapter 1 is found in Genesis chapter2.
The power of God in Genesis chapter 2 is idiosyncratic because it’s fundamentally void of any intermediate levels.
The movement from creation to formation is without any given process.
It’s abrupt, sudden, drastic and at the same time dynamic, significant, great, huge, and developmental.
In Genesis chapter 2 God used the dust of the earth to form mankind in the most glorious, victorious and honorable way.
The earth is a picturesque image of matter.
Consequently God can use anything that matters to you in order to bring forth his glory, victory, and honor in tangible and physical form into your life.
Thus it’s here and now that God will have me to tell you that 2019 is the year of moving from one state of energy and power to another state of energy and power with no intermediate levels.
2019 is the day and time for a quantum leap in your life.
Everything physical that embodies your very own existence is going to experience a drastic, sudden, abrupt, significant and great improvement, development and advancement in 2019.
They is no way you will explain the significant advancement your life is going to endure in 2019 because it is designed by God Almighty to be sudden and abrupt.
When God formed man Genesis chapter 2 he was a full grown man.
This is important because man did not have to go through any intermediate levels he simply was formed as a full adult.
In 2019 life is going to make sense and come full circle for you suddenly and abrupt because they won’t be need for you to go through any process.
2019 is the year of your quantum leap where the physical features that will embody your lifestyle will be commensurate to the anointing of God rested upon your life.

The Distinction between You and Your Haters
Matthew 23:12-For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Once you make out in your mind to travel at the very end of evil we only but come to reconciliation with shame, remorse, embarrassment and generic defeat.
Conversely, when you travel at the very end of righteousness you only but come to grips with victory, glory and honor.
Many are the definitions of the Lord God's favor upon a given individual's life but one of most interesting and profound definitions of favor is of such that:-Favor is when God gives attention to a man's life in great details.
Once the attention of God is towards every detail concerning your life then you going to begin to attract haters from people you both know and from those that you don't know.
Every man desires the favor of God upon his/her life.
This is so because once the favor of God is upon your life then the results of your life are going to be distinctive.
There is a distinction between the righteous man of God and the evil man of the world.
The righteous man of God is exalted in humility while the evil man of the world exalts himself in self-aggrandizement and arrogance.
It's impossible for the call of God to be upon your life and your life is short of being distinctive.
The life of our Lord and savior while he walked across the face of the earth was underpinned by a distinction.
Jesus was distinctive in every manner to the degree that he had more haters than partners.
However as much as his partners were less in number in relationship to his haters, his partners were powerful and strategic to his call.
Hence as a result of the call of God upon your life the distinction between you and them Will be under pinned by the idea that your haters will be many but not as powerful as those in partnership with you.
Many times than not those against you may seem to be more visible and louder than those on your side but they is no need to be afraid because God is with you.
Once God is with you then there is no doubt that you going to overcome everything that seems to be a huge threat to your existence.

Do It Fast
John 13:27
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
In dealing with the dynamic nature of the world that we find ourselves entangled in thereof, It’s pivotal to understand that everything that we desire may never go our way.
What you think that you deserve may never be the thing that you necessarily need.
In life they are circumstances, and situations that will embark upon us that we don't deserve nor desire.
And no matter what we do or don’t do we are bound to face up those situations and circumstances we dread.
Judas Iscariot was earmarked before the beginning of time to betray Jesus.
It’s an assignment that he was never going to escape nor avoid.
And on the other hand, Jesus was prepared to be betrayed by Judas Iscariot under all circumstances because they were no way he going to escape being betrayed by Judas Iscariot.
Hence given that understanding Jesus tells Judas Iscariot,*whatever you about to do, do it fast".
Because both Jesus and Judas Iscariot where never going to be able to escape the aforementioned circumstances.
They are people who have been cast into your life to betray you, to undermine you and to compromise you.
And nothing can stop them from doing that which they ought to do in your life.
However the good news is that God has given you the grace and the will power to endure and to go through that situation and circumstance.
The perpetrators may have it in mind that what they ought to do to you is going to kill you.
But no, it will not kill you as a matter of fact whatever they plan to do to you, they ought to do it very fast because it’s the very thing that is going to kill them.
Judas Iscariot killed himself immediately after betraying Jesus.
Hence even though that person has been cast into your life to compromise you, undermine you and to render you inadequate, they only committing suicide for touching you and treating you inappropriately.
Woe unto the man who touches the anointed one of God inappropriately.
You are the anointed one of God and whoever has been cast into your life to render you inadequate is only setting you up for the glory of God while they set themselves up for eternal shame and defeat.
Indeed and in fact, it’s here and now that you have got to understand that you were created with a crown of victory, glory and honor.
Hence every circumstance and situation that you encounter in this dynamic world is only aimed at consolidating and institutionalizing the truth that you were created for victory, glory, and honor.
Its little wonder thereof that they are people cast in your life to make you think you inadequate, unworthy and insignificant, but you have got to understand that the devil can't defeat you spiritually because you enshrouded by the powerful and precious blood of Christ Jesus.
As a result since the devil can't defeat you spiritually he shifts his battle front against you psychologically.
The devil has been defeated spiritually so he thinks he can win you psychologically but woe unto him because your mind is being regulated by the spirit of God and as a result you very much aware of the devil's moves even before he makes a move against you.
You not only aware of the devil devices: but you much cognitive of the results of his diabolical moves against your life.
The devil better order his emissary against your life to make that planned move very fast that the glory of God may be made manifest in your life.
The perpetrators against your life have been earmarked for defeat.
Hence may their defeat come as fast as their diabolical actions against you ought to be carried out fast.

It’s Too Much to Handle
Matthew 26:36-46-(36 Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38 Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? 41 Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “[a]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”)
The entire world seems as if it’s pushing all the weight of its self against you and now you feel like it is too much to handle.
Indeed and in fact that is the same feeling that Jesus felt while in the garden of Gethsemane.
By now you should be able to understand that the word Gethsemane loosely translates to mean, “Pressing place ".
Imagine being in a place where life keeps pressing you from every angle and by everything life threatening.
Undoubtedly you seem to be on the verge of breaking down and as a result you have developed the disposition that's it’s too much to handle.
You are dealing with stuff too much to handle for ordinary folk and this so because the anointing of God for the life of you is too much too handle by everyday people.
The anointing of God is the very power of the spirit of God in demonstration/ in action.
The anointing of God is the light of God that is envied by the kingdom of darkness.
The envy and hatred of the kingdom of darkness is demonstrated by a deliberate effort to render the activities of the light of God futile.
It’s too much to handle but the grace of God is heavy and fighting for you.
For a diamond to be what it ought to be it got to endure the pressure that is constantly pushed against it.
And by enduring the pressure exerted against it so does it become of precious value, as a matter of fact you of so much precious value to the extent that those around about you can't handle the glory of God upon your life.
Hence if anybody dares to touch you inappropriately then the wrath of God shall come against your perpetrators.
The vengeance of the Almighty God will automatically come upon the one who chooses to betray you.
The brothers of Joseph the dreamer had no option but sell him into slavery because they would not handle the Glory and the power of God upon his life.
From among those who walked with Jesus one of them had to betray him because they would not handle the glory and power of God upon his life.
The opportunity for the glory and power of God to come into demonstration like never before ever since the foundation of the earth had to present its self in that very moment of betray and attack against the anointed one of God.
Sometimes it feels like you want to cry all day long because it’s too much to handle.
Everyone who comes into your life seems like they come into your life to demoralize you and to put you down.
To render your existence void but you need to understand that many times the glory of God upon the one God has appointed is treated with contempt ,because many can't handle the glory of God upon your life because it's simply too much to handle.
They want to make you feel inadequate and incapacitated because they can't stand the fact you walk in the glory of God.
The people you love so dearly keep turning against you and walking away from you because the glory of God for the life of you is too much to handle.
When the glory of God upon your life is too much to handle many of the seasons that your life will have to endure will be too much to handle.
In that many times than not you will feel like wanting to give up and to throw in the towel.
But all you need to do is to hang in there because very soon you will overcome all the things, all circumstances, all situations and challenges in the name of Jesus Christ.
It’s too much to handle but the God who appointed you and anointed you is helping you even as of this very moment in time.

The righteous of God
Psalms 34:19(19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.)
Genesis 32:22-31(22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”)But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”“Jacob,” he answered.28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip.
The righteous of God has the capacity to overcome all things.
However the power of the righteous does not come without pain.
As a matter of fact the power of the righteous is many times than not born from experiences whose aftermath leaves us nursing pain.
But the focus of attention should not be on the pain inflicted during the time when we enduring the experience that God has called to us but our attention should be the blessing attained from the experience.
They are lessons to be learnt from every experience God calls us unto.
And these lessons are vitally important to the accumulation of our wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in God, which in turn give us the capacity to overcome and to be crowned victors.
Jacob wrestled with God from the stroke of midnight to the break of day.
And by the time the wrestling is done, Jacob’s image looks defeated, and injured but the matter is that before the angel of God spoke a word of blessing upon Jacob he first inflicted pain unto his hip.
The blessing that Jacob received from the angel of God was the blessing of being called Israel.
Israel in this context translates to mean the righteous of God.
The righteous of God is the very power of God that overcomes all things.
It’s here and now that we ought to carefully consider the idea that the power of God many times than not comes from the pain inflicting experiences that we endure.
After the infliction of pain follows the crown of power, Jacob "s hip was in pain but his head had been crowned with power as a result of the pain inflicted while Jacob was wrestling with the Angel of the living God.
Jesus is the righteous of God but for him to bear the crown of all power in both the heavens and the earth came as a result of the pain he endured on the cross upon the hill of Calvary.
Furthermore it’s here that we understand that when God calls you to the crown of power/the righteousness of God before he actually crowns you they will be a season of painful experiences.
They is need to keep moving forward despite the pain born from an experience that is God led, guided and directed you unto.
Because after the pain comes the crown of people and righteousness which are the capacity to overcome all things.
Jacob's picturesque image after wresting with the angel of the living God looked like that of an individual who had just suffered defeat at the hands of life, but yet still they were joy in his heart.
Because he understood that even though he has struggles with his life moving forward he has received a crown of righteousness/power from the experience that inflicted pain to his hip.
And that his newly begot crown will enable him confront all his tormentors with boldness in order to overcome all things.
Genesis 32:22-31(22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”)But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”“Jacob,” he answered.28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip.

After the infliction of pain follows the crown of power, Jacob "s hip was in pain but his head had been crowned with power as a result of the pain inflicted while Jacob was wrestling with the Angel of the living God.
Jesus is the righteous of God but for him to bear the crown of all power in both the heavens and the earth came as a result of the pain he endured on the cross upon the hill of Calvary.
Furthermore it’s here that we understand that when God calls you to the crown of power/the righteousness of God before he actually crowns you they will be a season of painful experiences.
They is need to keep moving forward despite the pain born from an experience that is God led, guided and directed you unto.
Because after the pain comes the crown of people and righteousness which are the capacity to overcome all things.
Jacob's picturesque image after wresting with the angel of the living God looked like that of an individual who had just suffered defeat at the hands of life, but yet still they were joy in his heart.
Because he understood that even though he has struggles with his life moving forward he has received a crown of righteousness/power from the experience that inflicted pain to his hip.
And that his newly begot crown will enable him confront all his tormentors with boldness in order to overcome all things.

Niche: Acquainting With Yourself
Genesis 37:18-20- Now as soon as they saw him approaching from a distance, before he arrived they plotted together to kill him. 19 “Look!” they said. “Here comes the Dream Master! 20 Come on! Let’s kill him and toss him into one of the cisterns. Then we’ll report that some wild animal devoured him and wait to see what becomes of his dreams!”
1 kings3:10-12-It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. 11 And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, 12 behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind
The revelation of God is a direct word of intimacy that God speaks to the kind with whom he has a profound attraction, and a unique degree of divine favor towards.
Every now and then God speaks a word of intimacy unto you then it’s indicative of the level by which God has found you favorable, lovable, and attractive.
It’s fundamentally ironic that every now and then God finds you favorable and lovable as much as attractive.
The environment around you is going to find a place to hate on you and malign you.
Joseph was favored and loved by both God and his father Jacob, and on the basis of God's favor his brothers hated him and always maligned him to the extent that they many times than not contemplated homicide towards Joseph.
Once God favors and loves you he expresses intimacy towards you and this intimacy comes in the form of revelation knowledge, trials, promises and the hope that only God can expose to a man.
God tries you only if he has found you favorable and lovable.
This is so because it’s only through trials and tribulations do we come to a place of truly being able to reflect his glory, victory and honor.
Our character in God always comes to being tested and tried as a testament that God is with you in love and in favor.
Does God find favorites among his children?
Yes God does find favorites among his children.
Hence how do you know that God had found you favorable and lovable?
When you begin spending more time with God as much as God spends with you then you have been favored and loved by God.
When you begin expressing intimate words as spoken unto you by God and your environment wants to shut you down and render you insignificant then you have been favored and loved by God.
When the people who are supposed to help you, love you because of the call of God upon your life but they rather start to hate on you, verify you then you have been favored and loved by God.
And backstab you and betray you to the extent of leaving you for dead yet you would not do the same to them then you have been favored and loved by God.
In order for one to acquaint with himself effectively they must be in a place and in a position where they fully appreciate that wisdom is the principle thing.
Thus if there is anything to be begotten before anything else then one must obtain wisdom.
Wisdom is the most beautiful thing amongst all things beautiful.
Once one obtains wisdom they have received a beauty like no other.
Wisdom attracts favor.
Favor is attracted by wisdom.
Favor is drawn to wisdom because wisdom has got the capacity to draw favor.
King Solomon asked God for wisdom but God also gave him wealth.
Wealth is the embodiment of favor.
Wealth is the incremental difference that transforms the status of your worth and value.
Wealth is something that fosters a good life and worthwhile life.
Since wisdom is the most beautiful attainment in life it thus makes the wise the most beautiful individuals in both name and appearance as much as in stature.
King Solomon was the wisest person ever lived.
Thus his wisdom made him the most beautiful man ever lived.
Hence his wisdom made him the wealthiest man ever lived.
The Queen of Sheba traveled from Ethiopia to Jerusalem after hearing of not only King Solomon's wisdom, wealth but also after having heard about his beauty.
At meeting king Solomon the Queen of Sheba evidenced all she heard about King Solomon and in fact by the time she left Jerusalem she was carrying King Solomon’s seed.
In the process of acquainting with yourself it’s vitally important to obtain wisdom.
Wisdom is a character it’s not what you say but what you do.
What you do is based on the decisions you make for your life.
In acquainting with yourself it’s also very crucial to appreciate that the coin has two sides /faces.
The two faces of a coin make the coin valuable.
If the coin was one faced or one sided then it would not be valuable.
The first face of the coin is called knowledge and the second face is called understanding.
Knowledge is experience while understanding is perception.
Thus in acquainting with yourself you must appreciate that you exist to have impact upon the earth and this impact comes from the two sides of a coin.
To sit at the feet of wisdom is far much of great importance than to be in the bosom of the unwise.
Peace is the way of the wise while violence is the way of the unwise.
