YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AND HOW YOUR STORY WILL END
By – Banji Alabi Esq

The story of Joseph the prisoner becoming Joseph the Prime Minister teaches us one eternal truth: CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.
You can rise above your circumstances. You can overcome life’s challenges. You can live in the fullness of your God-given potential.
Joseph’s journey was long. Yours may be too. But you must take the first step.
If you don’t take the first step, you may remain stuck where you are until the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
For many of us, our strongholds were established early in life.
Family pain is the deepest pain because it’s inflicted early and involves people who should have been trustworthy. You were too young to process the mistreatment. You didn’t know how to defend yourself.
Your dad, mum, uncle, big brother, sister, teachers, colleagues in boarding school, peer groups, and neighbors — they towered over you in size and authority. They judged you falsely and wrongly. And unfortunately, you believed them.
When your father, mother, uncle, or teacher made a mistake, they blamed it on you and beat down your self-esteem. You believed them.
You suffered humiliation and rejection. Naturally, you started operating on false data about yourself.
But today is your opportunity. Arise and fight back.
Bullies are cowards. Stand firm and remove the echo of defeat and rejection. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are made in the image of God.
Today, power must change hands. Armed with the Word of God, we shoot down every lie, every limitation, every living thing and non-living thing standing against your destiny.
CONFRONT YOUR GOLIATH
Let me tell you a story. Many years ago, when I was about 13, we had football teams and we played together after school. There was this very stubborn classmate. Once he got to the field, he would demand that the football match must stop. He would insist that one person must come out so that he could play. If we refused, he would puncture the ball and force the match to end. He was a bully.
We all thought he could beat anyone who refused him. So we always complied with his instructions. He was bold and could challenge anyone, however big, to a fight. We all feared him.
But one day, power changed hands.
I had just bought a new ball. He came and demanded that the match must stop. But from nowhere, I received the strength to say NO to him. All our peer groups were amazed that I could challenge him, a lion.
The guy picked my ball and punctured it. With great anger, I confronted him to the amazement of everyone. I floored him three times. Since that day, his bullying stopped.
Bullies are cowards most of the time.
Now I ask you: What are the obstacles confronting you? Who are the Goliaths standing in your way?
Today you must confront them in the name of Jesus. You will remove all the obstacles confronting you.
Listen to the end of my story: That former bully was forced to negotiate with me. We became best friends till today.
Your oppressors will negotiate with you on your own terms from today.
Power must change hands.
LET YOUR WORDS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
Be happy. Happiness is infectious. Let happiness overshadow your home. Let the love of God radiate through you. Love covers a multitude of sins.
Ducks quack, but eagles soar. The power of choice is that you can choose to be a duck or an eagle.
Beloved, you have the power of choice. You can choose to look at the positive side of your life and be extremely happy, or look at the down side and be very sad.
When you change your attitude and exercise your power of choice, your ALTITUDE will change.
Develop the power of imagination for a great future. Dream big.
Where would you like to be in 4 years? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? Write it down. Dwell on it day and night. If you can see it, you will get it. Joseph got what he saw.
Take your dreams to God in prayer. Live your dreams.
STOP mingling with people who poison your heart and share bad rumors with you. They are jealous of your success. They are wicked. Their plan is to rob you and your family of your joy. Snub them and avoid them like a plague, no matter their station in life.
They are not good for you. They will ruin your dreams.
Be brave and possess your possessions. God has been very kind to you. Don’t allow the enemy to rob you. Thank, praise, and worship God 24/7. Don’t allow the devil to use you and rob you of your joy. Be happy.
Fortune favors the brave. Tell the rumor mongers to take their miserable messages elsewhere. God gave you a great home. Enjoy your home. Be happy 24/7.
Dress. Talk. Work. And walk in line with your dreams. Develop the road map to great success , luxury lifestyle, luxury living , wealth creation and follow it to the letter. Do not go to bed each day unless you accomplish a task toward the realization of your goals.
Perseverance and tenacity are the key words in the struggle.
Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.
My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit praises His holy name.
Happy new day. Happy new opportunity to pursue your own dreams and be a great success.
Happy new opportunity to care, and to let your words heal and not wound.
Happy new opportunity to right a wrong and inspire your family.
You have the power to change the narrative. You have the power to decide how your story will end.
So end it in victory.
End it in dominion.
End it in glory.
Confront your Goliath today. Power must change hands.
You will succeed.
