IT IS NOT TITLE BUT UNCTION FOR ACTION

Title cannot by itself dignify anybody. We are living in a day that the only key to being a tremendous blessing is not a title, but TREASURE. Many in the ministry assume that if they can award themselves a high title, they will automatically command people's respect. I got news for you - If you are a nobody, and you take the Bishop title, you will only succeed in becoming a Bishop nobody. The flowing robes, so elegantly tailored and the three-decker - caps will not be able to make anybody out of you if you are not anybody before you put them on. With all its delicate dignity, the paraphernalia of the Bishopric is grossly inadequate an equipment to the high calling we have to affect our generation with the gospel of life.

Titles don't make you function. It is the auction that you need to function. Your asset does not lie in the titles before your name or the degrees after your name. The screaming needs of the nations cannot be met with great-sounding, ego-satisfying titles, you need more than titles or degrees to affect your generation. The world is not waiting for the man with the longest titles but the man with a convicting revelation, the man with a burden-lifting, yoke-destroying revelation In his mouth.

If you want to affect lives, touch your generation and make a difference, all you need is revelation in your mouth, faith in your heart and the willingness to put the hard currency of hard work behind it.

Titles can became a debilitating liability. I was a guest speaker in a large meeting a few years ago. Another man was to speak before me. He was introduced as a Bishop. Obviously, the people's expectation was high. We soon found out that all he was anointed for was to put people to sleep. My only regret of sharing the platform with him that night was that,
I had the singular honour of "virtually raising the dead back to life." I am sure that if he had the humility, to be introduced by a more humble title, the people could nave been more understanding. But how could they understand a Bishop who could not speak good, clear English? How could they understand a man who spent the greater part of his pulpit time
recounting the number of cars he has, the numerous designer shoes he has collected, the breakfasts, lunches, and buffets he had enjoyed at Sheraton Hotel.

The greatest tragedy in life is to have title without treasure, status without substance and honour without humility.

It is my prayer that you will offer your generation solutions. May you be a carrier of hope, of joy and of tremendous
capacity.

Get ready for a turnaround in your life this week. There is a miracle with your name on it in Jesus name. Receive it now in Jesus name. Am waiting for your testimonies. I want to hear from you this week.
