General Overseer Dr. Cosmas Ilechukwuโs Charge for 2025
THE MANTRA FOR SUCCESS
Scriptural Basis:
Colossians 3:17: Do all your service as unto the Lord.
Colossians 3:23: Do all heartily as unto God, who will reward you.
Ecclesiastes 9:10: Do everything with all your might.
1 Corinthians 10:31; Ephesians 6:5-8: Serve with a God-centered focus.
James 1:6-8: A double-minded person receives nothing from God.
Key Insight:
No one achieves success with half-hearted effort. True success comes from intentionality, wholehearted pursuit, and leveraging what God has given.
The Mantra for 2025
DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHERE YOU ARE.
Personal Confession:
I will do what I can with what I have where I am.
Biblical Examples
1. Moses (Exodus 4)
Moses succeeded and prevailed with the rod in his hand because he used it effectively where he was.
2. Shamgar (Judges 3:31)
Shamgar used an ox goad to deliver Israel, demonstrating the power of leveraging available resources.
3. David (1 Samuel 17:40)
David triumphed over Goliath by using a simple sling and five stones, showcasing the importance of trusting God with what you have.
4. Peter (Acts 3:6-7)
Peter used what he hadโfaith in the name of Jesusโto heal the cripple at the Beautiful Gate.
5. Jesus (Matthew 14:13-21)
Jesus used five loaves and two fish to feed thousands, proving that little becomes much in Godโs hands.
6. Apollos (Acts 18:24-26)
Though Apollos had limited understanding, he used what he knew to proclaim the gospel powerfully.
7. The Woman with John 3:16
A woman with only one scripture led a stubborn barrister to Christ, underscoring the value of using even the smallest resource for Godโs purpose.
Principles for Success in 2025
1. Conduct a Self-Inventory
Identify your gifts, talents, and resources. Use them intentionally and purposefully.
2. Discern Godโs Burden
Seek clarity on the desires and burdens God has placed in your heart. Align them with His purpose.
3. Strategize for Success
Think through your goals. Define what you need and how you will achieve them.
4. Develop Systems
Create processes for consistent and effective use of your resources and gifts.
5. Pray Diligently
Seek Godโs help and provision as your ultimate source of strength and supply.
Final Exhortation:
Donโt despise or begrudge what you have. Recognize that every gift in your life is a tool for fulfilling your God-given assignment. Success is not about waiting for more but maximizing what you already possess.
