Dr Myles Munroe - How To Discover God's Purpose For Your Life

eight holy spirit said to me 2008 is the year of Kingdom influence everybody say influence this is in my heart like a loaded gun this is the year where less talk and more action this is the year of no more pretending to be in the kingdom but demonstrating the kingdom so here's what I want you to focus on tonight write this down how to become an influencer I am speaking from authority tonight I know exactly what I'm talking about so listen to me young people how do you become an influencer we want to focus tonight on understanding the secret to influencing your world I have thousands of photographs taken of me and sometimes people look at those photographs and they don't even know who I am photographs with prime ministers and presidents and kings and queens of countries and multimillionaires and billionaires and blacks and whites and Asians and Chinese and Jews and and people don't know that I was born in a little house my father's here stand up daddy this is my 84 year old father my 84 young old father I'd better correct that give him a hand it's my handsome daddy my father had 11 children most of them are in this room tonight and we were born in a very humble area called beige town and we knew what it was to struggle and not have much but we had a great heritage in God my parents taught us to trust God and have faith in God and I thank daddy again for that you and mom did a great job instilling faith in us and I will never forget my father is my number one hero and my spiritual mentor I I was born and we used to sleep in the back room they called the back room and the back room was better boy slept was called the back room because you know you had to find a spot on the floor and we slept on mattress on the floor sometimes and our sheet to keep the mosquitoes from us and and they gave us the best they could I never thought that they would come that I would be advising governments and speaking on the telephone to presidents of countries who call me how do you become an influence how do you rise from the floor and sometimes you would think oh you a special person that's why that's not true I believe there is what I call a divine imperative write it down here it is every human being was created by God to be an influence on earth every human being most of them died and never influenced their neighborhood second imperative influence simply means to dominate in life anyone who has influence is simply a person who is dominating an environment that they are in they they have this force that come with their life that make people listen to them or make people respect them or make people believe them all of us are influenced by somebody in other words those persons have dominion write this down whoever dominates an area of life will have influence on planet Earth if you look at all the influential people I'm not talking about just the famous because some of the main influential they get famous don't confuse fame with influence fame is like a flame it goes out influence is what lasts even after you're dead case in point another coal has no influence anymore flame gone Marilyn Monroe has no influence anymore this is not influence that's fame influence means that your life has so much dominion that even death can destroy it like Martin Luther King there's a difference between Anna Nicole and Martin Luther King you know streets named after Anna Nicole listen to me please you are too old to not be influenced next year you are too old to not Blinn start being influential in your life you were too old you gotta catch up frak the statement down please you were placed in time to influence your generation that's why God took cure of eternity and put you in a body because he wanted earth to be influenced by you and we confuse influence with popularity not everyone who is popular will be influential as a matter of fact the word popular is from the root word population which means that the population likes you for a while and then they'll crucify you later influential people are not necessarily popular they are impactful Jesus Christ was not popular but we can't get rid of it he was influential I put it to you then that we have to learn what is influence here is a statement made by Jesus Christ concerning you and me who are in the kingdom concerning influence he said these words in Matthew 13 verse 33 he told them another parable it says and here's the parable he says the kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman put in a lodge about of dough and it worked its way into the dough until all of the lump was full of yeast this statement is about influence every boy's influence God sent you to earth to be an influence just like yeast influences dough you are not born just to exist you were born to make a diff and born to make an impact and I am convinced that God has had it up to here with people just treading water God is saying I want you to be an impact and influence in the earth I put it to you that God put you in time so that you could make this influence every time a year begins to change everybody begins to think of this concept of time and guess a few things about time I like to say because the passing of a year is the marking of time time is defined as an interruption in eternity now God doesn't live in time but he put us in it and gonna put us in time because it is very difficult to live in eternity I thank God I live in time let me tell you why because whatever is in eternity lasts forever so if you ever had a headache in eternity how about an eternity with a divorce the pain forever thank God the marriage is only for Earth jesus said that in the afterlife there's neither marriages nor giving in marriages give God a hammer that's something to thank God for that lord have mercy I know you love your wife and love your husband but boy try to live with them for eternity you need relief after a thousand years grate this down please God lives in eternity and eternity is time at a measure and therefore we were placed in time for a purpose to fulfill purpose and that purpose is to give meaning to our lives we were sent here to make an impact to make a difference I didn't realize that until I began to study the Bible as a teenager I'm not special or unique I just discovered something and I want to show you what I discovered tonight so that the next 12 months you begin to work on what I discovered so you could discover it I put it to you that you were born to influence time and you don't need to live long to influence the planet think about the oldest man that ever lived his name is Methuselah the Bible says one verse about if it says but those that have lived to be 930 years and then he died 969 years rather and then he died that's all we know about the guy he died Jesus lived to be thirty three and a half years old and then he died we can't remember Methuselah but we can't forget Jesus age therefore it's not a measure of impact I put it to you then that God gave us time so we can live life in what I call phases God gave you a year at a time a month at a time a week at a time and a day at a time so you can live life in doses I love the way the psalmist David said David says this is the day not the month the day the Lord has made I will rejoice in it the day what have you done with your last 10 days that have moved you forward in your purpose how do you spend your time the last 24 hours and how did that contribute to your progress of your passion and your dream he gives us life in phases purpose is placed in phases because you would never given birth to attach yourself to a phase let me tell you something I thank God for years because you can now look back and say someone died 10 years ago or I had a failure in this area five years ago thank God for years yes things back yes delivers you from the memory and the pain of things thank God for time please don't be attached to faces write this down please never let a phase define you you know right now you're single you ain't married well that's only your face don't get attached to that and when you get married you got a shift from the face now you can go over to friends anymore used to go to anytime you feel like no more here and now you can fast for a week cuz now you gotta cook for your spouse or eat with your spouse you see the face you gotta be it you gotta be able to be free from phases God has given you a new year to set you free from the old year write this down each face prepares you for the succeeding phase every year that God gives us was supposed to be preparation for the next one the problem is if you didn't know what you were supposed to do in the year that you had then you are going into the next one unprepared or ill-prepared that's why God gave you the capacity to think and the plan I put it to you that you must enjoy your face but never become your face some you've got a good job now let me tell you something you ain't know what could happen to that company in 2008 so don't get attached to your job nor your title and if you find your value in your title you are in trouble live with your faces loosely I am so conscious of my phases write this down please your phases are still ahead of you the best ones okay so you might have lost your business that's no problem there are probably some greater businesses ahead of you maybe you lost some clients no problem there's some clients on the way in 208 that can triple your income don't ever allow the past's phases to interfere with the future phases I can't wait to wait to meet the people I'm supposed to meet in 208 and some of them are coming loaded but I got to be prepared with the vision for them to pay for it there's a product everyone was playing life please write this down no phase is forever say it loud say it again some of you are having a good time right you had a good 208 ok 207 sorry you had a good 207 mm-hmm I'll never forget some advice that was given to me by one of my greatest mentors and life talk to all Roberts he said to us in a private meeting he said son expect the best and prepare for the worse that means have a good attitude but don't be stupid whatever you going through right now I guarantee will not last that includes the bad times and the good times there's a time and your businesses up and everybody was happy profits and in 2007 it feels like every demon in hell attack your business and you you're going into 2 or 8 in the red and the point ball you thinking God should I fold of gossiped no hang on to it there gonna be a change in the next phase that's gonna triple your income compared to what you had in 2002 this is just a phase some of your marriages went through hell and some of them still hanging on to hell God said don't you get a divorce the phase don't change she gonna catch yourself in February he gonna get himself and win in front of the Holy Ghost in June don't leave him yet I'm gonna make him a preacher don't be attached to phases I have come to understand that everything is just a season oh please remember this as long as you live Ecclesiastes chapter three verse one says to everything there is what a season and to every purpose there is a time to everything there is a season how many things got a season how many things got a season what got a season everything got what how many things got a season how many things this is very serious that means if you've got a lot of money now that's a season so what you're doing to get a lot of money is you give a lot plan a lot of seed so that when you're lean time comes you got a harvest come from somewhere be generous in your hard times and in your good times so you could survive the drought of life everything is a season relationships go through seasons everything your job is doing good right now 208 was a good time on your job everybody gave promoted use happy praise the Lord we tell 208 every demon on your job show up and you got to handle the season what I love with that verse is that nothing lasts clora boise you've got a bigger - hope 9 that's hope praise God that's hope so right now you got a mortgage that's a season give go to behalf of that one praise God there gonna be a time and you're gonna be able to burn that note and run around the whole block shouting free at last free at last great God Almighty so face it please Jesse took the 10 verse 11 says where 10 says I have seen the burden God placed on man what's his burden he makes everything perfect in its time there's a time for you to mature in every area and the timing is set by God it says he also has placed in the heart of man eternity and yet they cannot fathom or understand what God has done from the beginning to the end we live in a in a continuum of time and don't don't understand the phases I want to recommend something to you what's your pass please it's dangerous you are about to say goodbye to a pass please let it go the pass is a portion of your future it is not your future I put it another way the past is dead except for the life you give it you can keep resurrecting 207 and not let it die people who hurt you thinks that didn't work goal she didn't achieve places that you didn't go to people who didn't treat you right God doesn't want you to take that into to await your past is as alive as the life you give it I put it another way you cannot go to your future if you live in their past and therefore you cannot change the past but you could plan your future this is the moment in time when most people are thinking about what am I going to do this is a great night to be here I'm gonna give you some good advice the future gives hope to the past and that's why I only used to pass for educational reference it is never my habitation everybody makes mistakes everybody fails everybody falls everybody somehow doesn't seem to achieve everything but you don't live in that learn how to let the past go because the past can become a weight Philippians chapter 3 verse 12 says these words it says not that I have achieved obtained all that I want to or have already been made perfect but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus the hold of me brothers I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it but one thing I do Paul the Apostle says I what forget the past forgetting put us behind straining toward what's ahead of me I press toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ you have not done everything you want to do yet and maybe there's some memories you love to forget well forget them and move on and achieve greatness there are some people you need to forget I'm gonna say this again because somebody need this there are some people you need to forget and leave them in 207 and go on your own and learn some new people I trust your heart will hear this I call it the power of your future your future is not ahead of you it's trapped within you and this is why your future has very little to do with other people in the sense that you don't get your future from them you are like a seed you possess your future now in every mango seed as a mango tree the mango tree its future is in the mango seed so God has made you the same way your future is in you and you are taking it into the next year and therefore I put it to you that God is committed to the future he placed in your present this is why I have so much confidence in my life when things don't even look like they're working I'm always at peace because God's commitment to me is what keeps me full of hope and faith God is committed to the vision he put in your life and therefore whether other people help you or not God will be your helper Oh hallelujah your future is more important than your past and therefore your future is more valuable than your past let's look back learn some lessons close the door let's go forward your future is more important than your past and that is why Jesus died to forgive you not to reclaim your past but to protect your future he forgives your past he don't even use me just forgives it and forgets it but it's your future that he came to redeem and that's why you must come to Christ tonight and give your life to Christ tonight not because you want to become religious person and go to some religious organization you want to come back to God because he deposited in you a future that only he could bring to pass I am so excited about my life my future is secure in the one who gave me the deposit my boldness is just getting started 2:08 I'm gonna be a reckless man I'm gonna believe for so many big things that I started my life because God has been my helper I put it to you he would be your helper too I say would be your helper too I saver be your helper too God's gonna help you through things you cannot go through by yourself hallelujah your future is concealed just like a tree is concealed in the sea look at Isaiah 46 I love this verse I'll never forget it God speaking he says I am God and there's no other I am God there's none like me why because I'm the only girl who makes known the end from the beginning in other words I tell you what is yet to come even before it comes I place your pass into my past in other words your future is God's past God's already finished he started with the end and then began after he ended look at that verse he says he placed the end before the beginning God's not wondering about your future God's already been in 2010 and knows exactly what happened to you that's why he knows your months I am so secure in him I call it the race to the end how do you get to the end that God already finished inside of your life well the most important thing in life on Earth is to make it to your future and a lot of people won't make it to their future the race to your future is a marathon not a sprint tell your neighbors slow down let me tell you something if you try to speed up God's program for your life you will short-circuit and cause premature birth take your time and keep moving you don't ever want to be ahead of God but you don't want to be behind him so far that you lose sight of him here's what the Bible says about it I like this in a post-911 it says I have seen something else under the Sun the race is not to the Swift nor the battle to the strong but to those who are in do or what to the end your future and your success is related to God success one of the things that made me bold as a young man was this when I discovered that if I feel it's bad for God I'm gonna say it again if I fail it's bad for God's reputation so I have come to understand like Moses told God many times he said God being far from you to do such a thing for you told the people that we are your people in other words our success is tied to your reputation God you have to help me succeed so you're gonna embarrass yourself you know what I mean most people think that if I fail I'm gonna embarrass myself no you know God says no this is about me you will succeed in 2008 because God will protect his name oh listen to me his plans for you already finished Merry Christmas and Happy New Year write this down God's plan for you to succeed he's already planned for it your success determines his success I have come to appreciate Jeremiah 29 verse C 10 and 11 it says for I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future God has a plan for your future and a plan to make sure that you get there you are not just a baby born wandering through the earth and this is why when a young doesn't know God's plan for their lives they waste their energy and their time in areas that are not helpful I suggest that the key to the future is trapped inside of God ladies and gentlemen Ephesians chapter 1 verse 11 is one of the most powerful verses in my life when I was a teenager I read this verse over and over again and it changed my thinking it says in verse 11 in him we were also chosen and being predestined according to the plan of him who works on everything to conform with the purpose of his will God says I have a plan for your life I also have a destiny for your life and the plan will take you to your destiny but look at that statement carefully it says in him we also have been chosen having been predestined according to the plan a boy is a predestined pretest and is actually not even a word it's a it's a grammatical construct the prefix is pre which means before and death time means the end god said I set your end before I began you but then he says there's also a plan according to that plan supposed to get you there God doesn't only have your future established he has a way to get you there but look at the next statement he says but if you mess up the time I will still conform your mess to get back in line in my will no matter how you fail he'll use your failure as a testimony and get you back on the road 2007 some you sit in this room you this the first time you being a church for 10 months goss's look that's ok let's conform that now and get your act together rededicate your life to me tonight and let's get back on the road because you're wasting time with people who ain't worth your time he will conform even your failures to his plan for your life this is why God can take your mess and turn into a miracle he could take your test and turn into testimony he can cause all of the things that you've done wrong to become a witness of his greatness because you have failed please don't stay away from God come back to God and do it tonight I put it to you that purpose is permanent that's why God never gives up on you plans may change but purpose is permanent because purpose is more powerful than problems purpose overcomes your mistakes Romans chapter 8 verse 28 Paul wrote this down I tell love it Paul says and we know that in all things God works for good for all of those who are called according to his purpose and who loves him for those whom he foreknew he also predestined and he confirmed them to the likeness of his son God says no matter what you've done I will still restore your pretty your your destiny for your life I put it to you then that this is probably one of the greatest verses I've ever read job chapter 80 I love it read aloud for me please I'll get it read together go your beginnings will seem humble so prosperous will be your future your greatness is trapped in your littleness your humble beginnings qualifies you for a great ending as a matter of fact he says I like this you know he says your beginnings seem seem humble in other words if they knew how great you were they'd take you for lunch tomorrow you just seem like you ain't nobody right now look at that word scene you seem like you ain't got nothing let me tell you something you ain't your friends until you get plenty you know people don't look and seek out poor people when they think you got money they won't be your friend right away in that something tell your neighbor you're not rich oh yeah so you better seek me now be nice to me now don't ignore me now shake the hand right now tell him I love you in Jesus name praise good now tell him to remember me when you're coming to your glory you never know who you talking to I ask God one day I said God why are you prospering me so much he says so you could be like Joseph he would take care of your family they didn't know who was who I was in the house my father had no idea that my books would be in 88 countries no idea I tell you friends your beginning seemed to be humble you ain't always gonna be doing what you're doing hey I used to teach in a class man see a tree is high school likes to teach LW young I

Lord whatever you do come on and your plans will succeed promise 69 read in his heart a man makes his plans but the Lord determines the steps of that plan power sound 20 verse 4 read may he the Lord give you what the desires of your heart and make all your plants succeed Psalm 37 verse 4 read delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you pastor Myles Munroe little bin town boy born under the

have mercy write this down the power of a season I I want you to get this down write this down this is important the turn of a new season brings opportunity to begin again that's why God gives us years so we could begin again this is why it's so critical to understand what a new season is for a new season provides incentive to recommit to the things you value what's valuable to you think about it I was thinking the other day man that so many people want to see me when I die they even gonna miss me so let me go home to my wife and my children clap-clap-clap clap-clap-clap-clap-clap back I'm telling you brother every meeting they want to come to a word the time your son won't see you and the fraternity will have a meetin now your fraternity brothers when you die they pick up another

coming to midweek Bible study time like coming to prayer meetin time again what do you value what do you do instead of Remy tonight what do you value write this down please a new season presents us with the opportunity to reposition ourselves for greater success reposition yourself means that you reorganize restructure what's important to you that's what I have been doing all my life every year I would check my favourite goals which are my purpose in life and make sure my life is realigned with them again because when it's all over guarding or ask you what you do for other people he asked you what you did for him I have been conscious constantly of the value of my life and my time this is why learning the secret to influence is so critical this is probably the most important thing I'm gonna give you this message right now here it is the secret to success I figured it out I know how to be successful hear me please young people and those who've been younger longer how do you become successful here's a secret the greatest enemy of success is your fear failure I figured something out years ago if you're gonna fail fail big oh yeah I know they talk about you're listening to me if you don't go for gold go for pure gold man listen if you fail small they can laugh at you anyhow so fail big time try something big guess what I figured it out cuz after you die they can't get you the payment oh yeah although I understand lord have mercy you spent a whole year trying to decide to do something and ain't an idiot under here already gone another one started and you still gonna sit there trying to decide to do it by the time you calculate what they can think the times gone a dead man can't pay mortgage praise the Lord I say praise the Lord and each Aaron Brooke success is the potential destiny of all created things I had the opportunity to meet Donald from once and you know when you get before great people you don't talk a lot you ask questions and I accident I said mr. Trump if there's one thing you could tell me that has made you successful who would it be he said I always bought things I had no money to buy crazy answer he said because I figured out if you're gonna lose might as well lose big I discovered something about success the greatest enemy of progress is your last success you can become so proud of what you accomplished that you stopped moving ahead to what you could accomplish this is why I'm so nervous about accolades and about applause and about all these different awards will give I'm nervous about it because you can if you become distracted by that stuff it can stop you from progressing see I discovered the world is amazing place the world is so average it doesn't take much to be a genius just do a little extra on something over here what I said this is very important see the world is so mediocre you can't believe none of the awards listen if a guy ain't doing nothing and you finally did something you think you did everything so you got to not measure success by what other people tell you matter of fact here's what I call success success in this year is the completion and the fulfillment of the original intent or purpose for your life that is success did you do what God gave you assignment to do in this year are you moving toward the goal that he gave you I suggest to you another thought how do you bridge your success success is measured by purpose when it's fulfilled success is not measured by what you've done compared to what others have done success is measured by what you've done compared to what you knew you could have done so you are the measure of your own success only you knew how good you could have done and the average person will always think you did great if you did a little bit better than they did but you would know that you did poorly when you compared to what you know you could have done so your success is never mentioned by other people nor by their measure but by what God showed you that you can do and you didn't do that's why I am constantly comparing myself with myself says in the book of Romans chapter 3 it is not wise for a man to compare himself with others but compare himself by himself why because only you know how great you can become I hope everyone get a copy this CD and listen to it every month for the whole 12 months why but this will remind you that you should never allow anybody's awards to stop them go towards your reward one time I was looking at my diplomas on the wall in my office Holy Spirit said take them now I said why he said they stopped you from the other diplomas so I put them in the box and put them in the closet you know I got one two three four five Doctorate degrees the schools have given me because they say I've achieved so much it's worth doctor degrees I began to lose count why I ain't working for no degree I'm working for a purpose and people observe you and they think you're doing great when in reality you know you're not doing great compared to what you know you want to do can I put it this way write this down everyone write this down please what's the key to success I figured it out but this is what I'm gonna end this session now the key to success is not to pursue success the key to true success is not to pursue success if you want to be successful in this new year you must not seek success so then the answer how do you become successful here it is you want to become successful the key to success is seek to become a person of value and that's it it's that simple and that difficult if you want to be successful in life seek to become what a person of value in other words you must become a person of value when you discover your unique gift and you make your significant contribution to the world as a matter of fact you become significant when you develop refine and serve your gift to the world I have a little program for you here for the sake of time write this down this is very important this is direct from the Holy Spirit I tell you when he showed me this years ago I exploded first of all everybody's a value value equals worth this is very important young people listen to me because your career will not make you wealthy my son and daughter listen to me if you're going to become successful and you want to become great and influential in life don't seek greatness don't seek influence don't seek success seek value because value is equal worth the more valuable a thing becomes the more it is worth are you listening to me why do you think you spent so much money on diamonds diamonds are considered valuable therefore they are worth more than those plastic stuff you buy call costume jewelry listen carefully why is oil so valuable because it is so real it's worth keeps rising it's in-demand ho Hemi you are worth what you are valued I given you one of the greatest secrets in life for this next year you are worth what you are valued so if you ain't value much to

specialize this sounds so simple but people still in get it and to specialize means sometimes you got to go by yourself take your own evening courses take your own online courses you got to go for it what don't work with them folks who laughing at you you are refraining yourself so you wanna be a nurse I got a thousand of them so you're gonna get paid much so specialize in nursing in an area specialized nursing in boom cancer oh all of a sudden now your value going up because you don't find nurses specializing in brain cancer you won't be an accountant but it's a common that's what I wanna comes broke working for somebody else you can be an accountant refine that area and become an accountant that is international accountancy build on certain principles for globalization do something unique do something otherwise you will not become valuable this is good I had a lot of speaking tree write this down please what lies within you it's greater than what lies ahead of you you'll see the greatness is what you got to bring into value and you possess the hidden value of your life right now it's trapped in you I will not tell you what I am worth an hour I will not because you are a bohemian and you'll be jealous of me but my volume came from focus segues I focus I refine myself I got you know this past year 2007 I read 22 books on leadership how many of you read last year and so they called for me and pay me to come why I refrain my gift why are you watching lmn house the name of element that's a drug now in the Bahamas I understand as a drug it's causing you to lose value should be reading while you're watching that stuff spending time on the block's list in the music you better refine your gift feel man they will pay you based on your investment in yourself and to do that yes a practical advice how do you locate your power where's where's the power I'm talking about the power of your investment I found it I was 13 years old when I read this word my mother made me memorize this verse when that white teacher told me that I was a monkey my mother said read that verse I said yes ma'am that was so scary she's gonna slap me she said read again I read it I read this verse until it got into my spirit 13 years old she said don't you ever believe what anyone tells you again and I read this verse now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above far beyond all you can ever acts or think what's this according to the power it's not in heaven its million angels it's not even in Jesus it's in you you know that the church I was going to as a Baptist Church and they said look to Jesus he's in heaven I didn't know that the power was in me you came here loaded but it's trapped power it's untapped refine this it's hidden value and this year make this the year 208 of refining your gift to become valuable matter of fact here's a challenge I want to challenge you to never confuse your work with your job again I put it to you your job is which you were trained to do but your work is what you were born to do what you were born to do is your seed of greatness therefore your work is what you were born to do and your job is just your career but your work is your assignment your career you'll retire from it your job is a skill but your work is a gift there's a difference you will never become wealthy from your work box the guy sitting next to you how long you be working still trying to struggle to pay that mortgage still trying to make ends meet I'm telling you something if you don't capture your gift you'll be trapped in a job and if you're trapped in your job I guarantee your retirement will not help you survive you get to begin in 208 to be the year of new beginnings I'm gonna begin to tap into my gift and refine my gift you know pastor Richard discovered something that was a gift he discovered this revelation about process and I pushed him cuz I said man go into that study it begin to become explaining that one because people need that gift but you got to keep on feeding it I tell you friends people will look for you based on your gift not your looks help me Lord you can never retire from your work but you could retire from your job because your job prepares you for your work and write this one down this last one please your job can become your work when you go to work I discovered that a job is someone paying you to refine your gift I'm gonna say this again don't be afraid of jobs embrace jobs but use the job opportunity to refine your gift and let them pay you to refine it you were never designed by God to survive of your job it's your gift that makes you valuable what do you bring to the job that's unique Mike Murdock said this one time he said you get paid for the problems you solve but he's right and the more sophisticated the problem you solve the higher your value therefore you got to keep on upgrading yourself don't wait for people to send you to school I spent over three hundred dollars a month on books why because I have to keep refining my gift and the more I feed my gift the higher my value and therefore the greater the harvest in my life what are you gonna spend your money on this year more food you got a choice go to fish fry a boner bookstore and there's a big choice between the two knowledge and grease what are you gonna do it's so it's awesome glory hallelujah see some of y'all right now oh who does that we got books in that bookstore after the meeting I want you to make a decision stab the yo the first day the first few hours you go into a bookstore what a miracle Jesus Christ would be happy your first act is to go into a bookstore and buy a good book to read glory the angels were seen oh you're know something going straight to south south south somewhere south lord have mercy write us down your goal in life is not to be employed your goal in life is to be deployed and to deploy means that you prepare your gift to serve to the world employment prepares you for deployment and every job I had you can over tell whether you did a good job on your job do they want you back when you leave if they don't want you back when you leave then you got problems make yourself so valuable they don't want you to leave deployment activates your gifts and energizes your life deployment is the use and the serving of your natural gifts to the world I promise you if you discover and work on your gift this year in 2009 your value will go up and your income worth will go up and you'll find people looking for you oh I gotta get this to you listen to this listen to this gift of influence proverbs 19 18 says what a man's gift makes room for him in the world and will bring to Australia listen to me young man don't matter how old you are I remember getting a phone call from the Prime Minister to Lyndon piddly in 1973 he called my mother's house my daddy's house he says they said we want to meet your son I had to go to the Prime Minister's office and I ain't now being the prime minister's office I said it and he looked at me he had on this shirt with all these islands on it and they hadn't sure he's do it and he said to me he says a few miles from Roy sir yes sir he said look we about to go independence for our country we're gonna have independence and we have chosen you and your group to be the representatives for the youth of our country we want you to sing that song brand-new world at the event on Clifford Park he said when we thought of a heat representative we thought of him now I don't know if that me anything to you but you're I'm a teenager but in his mind he was thinking that young boy it's so malleable he will be in the history books I'm in the history books I saw one of history books but I independence I saw my big afro if I white pants and my bell-bottoms playing the piano singing brand new world and when the history books why because I refined a gift when they call me a cult I kept on working they called me demon I kept on singing now they go on I in a book trap loud in the name of Jesus everybody said we find your gift say it again we find your gift oh I stayed up late at night reading songs playing music for hours we practice for hours there's a price to refine your gift I said all you singers nosy who budding singers and songwriters don't quit don't don't worry what do you say about it you keep working and refine it and that's your gift you refine it it'll bring you before great king and that day I now forget they had a shake the hands with Prince Charles carry on a teenager's shaking hands hide the bow you know little kiddies they say when you get to him you got a bow so at the bow Prince Charles teenager you know Wow praise God a man's gift not my education my gift your greatness is right in your chair all right how do you do it dr. Munro first of all you were created to influence the world do you agree on that you better because it's true your gift is your key to influence that is true if you don't influence you will always be influenced [Applause] you know it's amazing how many people are looking for you and they can't find you because you haven't lift up your gift yet I put it to you friends that the purpose for your birth was to find and deliver your gift of influence to us 2008 is the year of influence it's the year of gift discovery gift refinement and gift delivery what is the key to your influence I have discovered there seven things that influence life these rate is down if you're going to influence the Bahamas America or Jamaica or Canada or your city there are only seven specific things I discovered that makes people influential number one wealth you ain't got no wealth riches even got no influence number two knowledge the person with the most knowledge in an area without the influence number three please write this list down please it's very important young people the third pillar of influence is ownership if you own a lot of property you have influence now you can check the list and see what you get number for influence those who control systems influence the world Bill Gates for example the guy controls the system in your computer no wonder why he's the richest man in the world because everybody wants a computer whoever controls the media systems will control the world it's a time warner bought CNN why they want to control the system too by the way I got good news for y'all I just signed my final contract with Time Warner praise God you only got a proper you don't want to but that's a good place to clap boy either bahamian be in town boy let me tell you something they came looking for me they sent their representative Ellmers to meet with you they are the number two publishing company in the world why me they said we like your content gift refinement I won't tell you what they paid me just a sign don't use a Bahamian [Applause] hey boys they refine your gift and they will find you keep working at it don't spread yourself too wide it marriages your gift you stay with it you buy all my books memorize them in the name of Jesus but every other kind of book you can pull the every merit training seminar you want in front of your gift stop changing stephan1 thing long enough I tell you become the best at it and they'll find you they'll find you everybody want to be there free you would be dead free then you got a stopover in the world of debt you owe the world your gift and they'll pay you for it write this down please number 4 power whoever has power has influence well you all know that so well that's why people want to go into politics because politics gives you a measure of power and when your power you influence life number six pillar of influence is people the more people that listen to you the more influence you have it's called people power therefore you need to develop your gift to the point where a lot of people want it and whenever you want your gift then you become influential in the world number seven specialization anyone who is specialised has influence for example the lawyer in here has influence the doctor in here who spent 10 years studying and then an extra two for specialization 12 years of the guy's life a woman's life for men for being a medical doctor you say well I can't take a law man I got school I go way to the gas station see and so now you wait for the gas station for 12 years they've been in school for 12 years they come back they buy a limits and mean that they buy a BMW in one year for 12 years you still get to Toyota was a different big difference they specialized they got influenced something you want to be doctors want to be lawyers want to be health professionals you're gonna take some time if you want it now you want your results now you ain't gonna never make it that's why I'm most most of our young people having problems now they cannot wait to go to the process sian stay with the girl don't come back on the buddy give you no job right away go specialize go back and specialize that's where your value is I got a I got a bachelor's degree in education you still can be broke you got to go back and specialize in certain type of education let me tell you something number seven number seven creates all the other six that's amazing hey if you specialize in something it'll attract wealth and you have knowledge in that area therefore you can buy any property when you get money and the more property you get then the more you control and when you control things now you got power to influence politics when you through politics with power then people respect you and they listen to what you say but you got a specialized and I really thinking better on 2008 develop a new Brad brother I'm talking about a revelation ask God for a new bread for your bakery don't print the bakery you need something special don't let no one compete with you coconut and raisin bread with tamarind seasonal top something totally hallelujah hey that ain't funny they're coming look for you y'all better clap praise God [Applause] specialize and you become influential get some of y'all figured let's see how I can make that imagine Tamron in ed and an inbred warlord of Mesa we live with a cinnamon Jesus he caught Rebecca Ramos Sunday - he put on my party like a man I want to speak it down they'll be the reason and then they'll juju juice in there that's everything all right brother [Applause] hey neighbor specialize hit somebody's a specialized hit him hard to specialize what more times I specialize in something listen man if you gon go go and become rare become rare I just one down please very important how do you become specialized here's the key and I wanna I want to wrap one if this is the practical side the power of a freak let me tell you something this is so important to me I'm speaking from my life the key to influence is specialization now normally I get paid for teaching this I can't able to get pay because they use behaviors but I get paid by corporate companies around the world to come a teacher but I'm giving you free tonight and at the end of to age you still gonna be broke cause you ain't listenin to me he's behaving listen I hate him but I got money I don't want no one in here to be poor I don't want no one here to be broke I want you to be free from the bondage of the system and the Lord taught me by his wine how to become free it's available to everybody but hear me you got to hear advice specialize you selling cars that's why it's so tough you're just selling cars you gotta add strengthen to that that makes you unique you selling real estate you better ask God in the next hour we gonna pray Lord give me a revelation that makes my real estate company rare you a lawyer so what ask God for a real revelation about legal service become specialized the angel said us about Jesus his name shall be called Jesus watch this specialization for he will only have one job I'm gonna name him what his job is he was save people from his own he wants to specialize in this salvation you know that's why price is so successful he stayed with his focus write this down you were created with the seed of influence on the inside that's the good news tell your neighbor you get it come on say with your mouth I got it I have to believe this say it again I got it oh I can tell you the seed is in you you will never get your greatness from education education cannot give you a seed education can only refine the seeds you have that's why it's important to know your seed so you can take the right education your seed is in you oh I tell you this everyone in this room was born with the seed I know something don't believe that that's why I gotta prove this trees never take their fruit to the market Oh hear me I have never seen a mango tree run you down to give you mangoes y'all hear me this is very important the mango seed simply Prince for its fruit its gift but here's a secret and the market comes into the tree over 700 invitations on my desk for 2008 and they still coming in they're looking for me on a little island 7 miles wide because I refined a seed and refined it and refined it and read books and read books and listen the tapes listen the tapes didn't the CDs a lesson everybody else I used this better than they had it dr. Munro that's a problem he better learn from me and then make it better than I did it everything I learned I never somebody else but the way I release it is under my unique gift that's why I listen all my tapes I won't be like shut up listen to all the tapes it ain't a matter P like me it's getting to know what I know I was going through my CDs yesterday I spend the whole day cleaning up my office at home you know I get his big stack of CDs on management and leadership and I mean install these CDs and I counted that how much I listen to this year 57 by top minds in the business of leadership and management and then I make it sound like mine and then they pay me to tell you and while you watch lmn listening to CDs tell your neighbor no my element hey come on confess it yeah yeah in the name of Jesus on your head down Oh Lord the Holy Spirit told me which is be watching in your host me deliverance my cable TV is a thief it's a time stealer got to manage that remote otherwise it'll manage your life write this down please refine your fruit and then they'll find you 2008 is the year of influence if you're going to influence the Peace of the word is both influence this is the way you do it you got to find your gift refine your gift and they'll come and find you when you want mango you got to go to the tree and how does a mango tree becomes a mango tree I discovered the secret here it is Paul says you got to forget some things yes here's my greatest secret that verse God created you in His own image look at verse 28 God blessed you and God said unto you first word be fruitful everybody be fruitful multiply replenish and subdue and then what and then have dominion over the earth now God gave us three secrets first of all he said be fruitful listen to me before we go God never said to be c4 ladies and gentlemen it's impossible to be fruitful unless you already have seed because sea brings forth fruit God never told man to be c4 he already presumed that the man had seen and by the way the word food for there is the Hebrew word which means productive doesn't mean have babies okay boy say produce something say produce produce counts from life that's why the best part of your shopping market that you go to shop at is the produce department everything else is a dead area if you eat those canned goods they kill you if you eat the ones that are full of seed you have life ladies and gentlemen I give you the secret the first act of God be fruitful people 4 means that you have to produce something number 2 multiply multiply means you reproduce what you produce then it says to replenish replenish me to distribute distribution system and then the word subdue means to dominate the area of your gift Bill Gates did this so effectively that he caused the entire government of America to come against them Bill Gates produced a fruit Microsoft software then he multiplied it he then distributed it replenish until he was able to subdue the market and control all systems Congress called him in and said you get a break the company no one can have that kind of power over America or the world and they caused him to break his company up and therefore he became a dominated spirit he dominated the world of software he followed God's plan whoever dominates influences inside of you is a fruit trapped in the seed that you carry and that seed must bring forth the tree that's carrying your fruit and then you must multiply your fruit so we can begin to distribute it and then subdue your area of gifting so you become known for something let me tell you something friends please die after you are known for something what are you known for is a question and if the answer is not one thing you got a lot of work to do in 2008 I'm gonna say it again what are you known for I'm giving you the secret what are you known for if you ain't known for one thing you got a lot of work to do we call some names Michael Jordan what comes to your mind Tiger Woods Oprah Winfrey talk show I mean what let's call your name see that's what I'm talkin about Myles Munroe I never get when I went to California they gave it a big trophy one time big trophy 10,000 in the place they call me a big trophy I say wow is in my office right now big trophy and this patrol visas haven't missed a purpose that's all but even my name isn't mr. purpose what are you known for work on something so hard in 208 that it becomes your name and there's your assignment you will never find a mango tree trying to bring forward oranges they stay with their seed you would never find a coconut tree trying to bring foreign mangoes it stays with its germ it germinates what it is humans are the only creatures who pray for all kind of things everybody know what to pick from them one week they are this next week a something else the next year it's something I say what do you do what are you known for I know you don't believe this but finally and don't clap if you crap I'll quit write this down finally the keys to bearing fruit most important here's your assignment 2008 the key to bringing forward your fruit in this generation number one the seed must first be in the right environment 2008 choose your associations the seed can be placed in the right environment number 2 isolation listen to me young woman young man if you're going to become great you got to isolate yourself from friends for a seed to become a tree it must be taken away from the earth and hidden under the ground when they ask you where you been tell them I've been reading how come you know go to parties no more Minister the tapes you're in isolation yes I'm germinating that's number three you got to germinate every single seed must die die means self-discipline you die to old friends old habits old associations or club life old friendships old associations cut them off why I am going to develop myself a seed will now become a tree until it dies I don't keep coming new to many people the most of them are poisoned you got to die I don't figure some mochi no if you pour and I pour we can help one another so that's just part company now let me find somebody rich who could help me figure out how to get rich come on talk to me now that make sense it you stupid I stupid somebody got to be intelligent so let's leave each other man you can't hang around with stupid people and you jump you need to figure this out figure it out ask them are you smart never keep coming to people who cannot improve you 2008 you got to change some of your friends change them your friends then number four every seed must germinate germination means you motivate yourself from a sauce you got to find people who motivate you that makes you germinate listen to tapes read books go to seminars and keep coming with dr. Monroe will germinate you you gotta be around people making dream big think big believe big let them germinate you be round pillow sitter you know but I don't try that child I don't wake leave them immediately is that tell you you you know you can't do that you ain't got the intellectual capacity leave them alone you gotta germinate number five is critical you got a water the seed water means that you constantly develop a program to manage your development that makes you develop a program your join organizations you put yourself on a reading program I'm gonna read two books every month you know mine is four books a month that's my program that's my that's my watering program then I got to go to at least five seminars that are gonna is gonna stimulate my interest in my areas of my strength I got a water myself tonight I joined professional organizations that sent me CDs every month so I can develop myself and I can water myself what are you doing number six critical fertilizer that means you have to refine and refresh your program to constantly grow yourself some people are poisoned they are pollution in your life you need fertilizer you don't need pollution may God give us the wisdom to stop keeping bad company and bad company only people who drink in the smoking you know brag on them for forgetting something even your members your family negative all the time negative all the time sometimes you only visit your family on occasions you know because you only once they do long ago the manual said along but they start getting negative face the Lord by go protect your spirit clap your hands somebody hallelujah you gotta protect your spirit fertilizer I love what I think I heard less nonsense he said he said they're people who add to you subtract from you multiply you or divide you you gotta choose the ones who add to you and multiply you and avoid those who divide you and subtract to you find your subtraction friends and then leave them alone number seven you need sunshine you know if you want develop this fruit tree you need special networking that means you begin to network with organizations and people who become your light that's especially the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ your Savior and your father in heaven and good friends and the party of Christ and professional people who can lead you to higher ground you want to network with people who can get you where you want to do ya folks who are in doing nothing always want you to do it with them people who ain't going nowhere want you to go with them you got to decide who's gonna be my networks this year review your network and see if your net is working it may be a snag it may be holding you down number eight this one you don't like this one pruning if you go in to develop your food there will be pruning pruning means you got to cut off some people cut off some behaviors cut off some habits cut off some practices cut off some situations you got to cut off some opportunities got to cut off or maybe some of the things you are involved in now like different groups and organizations cut them off what because they could be held holding back your growth you got to manage the people in your life know when to leave people oh jesus amazing I said know when to leave people you know when it's time to leave that's when they start becoming a distraction by the way you can outgrow your friends when you start growing and your friends ain't growing you can become a misfit so you gotta know when to leave when you start talking something to understand it it's time to leave because know you already know grow them you got to manage the people manage circumstances manage problems and number nine and this one is so important time when you put a seed in the ground you can't force it to grow it takes time ladies and gentlemen if you're going to make and maximize 208 as your best year you're gonna have to use your time wisely and don't rush it you got to accept the process like past Richard says the process is necessary for purpose to be fulfilled your process takes time you can't rush success but you can guarantee it and the last one young people write this down in capital letters patience you know when you start working with a tree you plant a seed you got to be patient boy I remember when I was in kindergarten school we had our first biology class iron of the collar biology class then but they little kids you know they made us put a beam in a cup anybody had that that thing they put the soil in a cup and they maybe put a little bean in the cup you know we little kids you know we excited and the teacher says okay when you put the bean in the cup and you leave it there if you water it it gonna turn into a tree and me I was excited they said now take it home and then you gonna bring it back after two weeks and you take a look at it and see how far it's gone man every day I went dig that thing up check it out see if it's cool I'd rather they gonna say I ain't gonna cover it back up I'm going to check every week just every day check and see I mind never grew no patience no patience you wonder why you're not growing Oh patience the class the miles to do this and any happened to me yet but the monsters didn't send didn't have me yet patience I didn't get here yesterday hid away together delayed gratification that's why there's so much crime in the Bahamas number ten is why does crime people want instant success they don't want to work to pay for a CD player they won't break into your house and get it instantly it's called crime they don't want to work and save money put in the bank they want to just rob the bank delay gratification oh they can't have it okay I know you're tired of being at school but hang on finish them two years baby I know you want to quit right now and done even in school so tough and trying to tip the kids and cook hey hang on there go for it go back to evening school delay the gratification because all trees need patience one thing with the tree dough when you see it finished big stately strong tree it just stands there and the winds blow the waters beat it hurricanes come and it just stands there because of number ten patience I I taught you tonight right into to a 8 2008 I pour it into it why because God has brought you over with a new attitude turn all the lights up please turn the lights up please I want to do something before we leave here tonight how many of you heard the voice of God tonight in your own air did you hear it you do you know what you need to do now yes all right now the Bible says when you his voice harden not your heart the word heart means mind another word don't walk what you're saying well that's what I'm other people name for me don't harden your mind God sent us here tonight all of us to reconnect to what makes you influential and 2008 is the year of influence so I challenge you to organize yourself prioritize your life and then discipline your life and that's what we need to do I have can I see that that paint that book there at the bottom I did something here I put together a a planning book for everybody and it tells you how to plan your life like I plan mine how to discipline your life and the bracket tells you how to write down all your goals and everything for 2008 these are available for you as long as supplies last do something practical first ask God to show you your gift your strengths your unique gift we can pray for that in a minute matter of fact I'm gonna pray a special prayer over you tonight that God is going to supernaturally reveal your gift to you while you sleep tonight but God is going to give you like Joseph he's going to give you a vision of angels descending and ascending revealing to you what your gift is that makes you a power of influence and you could be born in Beantown in a wooden house in the lowest part of the world but in that place humble beginnings qualify you for greatness it doesn't matter where you were born it's what you were born with we want to organize our lives prioritize our lives and God will give us the power to discipline our lives to die for something I want us to pray and ask God to help us to to dream big next year this year rather I'd like you to turn to the person next to you and tell them don't die with my gift tell your neighbor I want to know what you specialize it tell
