Topic: CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY!

Bible Text: ‭Psalm 67:5-6 KJV

5. Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee.
6. Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us.

INSPIRATION: Our current reality calls for dynamic and more pragmatic approach to problem-solving if we must keep getting viable solutions and staying afloat. If you already have a winning strategy, you might need to consider rejigging its key operational requirements so as to stay relevant through the ever-evolving world of ours. This Psalmist counsels us to adopt a new and unconventional strategy: deploy praise to get a different but desired result.

Why is this important? It is because many people only praise God in the good times. But those who truly want to engage this principle would see manifestations like never known before. In obedience to God's instructions, Jehoshaphat and his army, deployed praise as a war strategy, and the enemy nations utterly slaughtered themselves till none was left. And great spoils of wealth were left behind for their benefits. Jesus gave thanks and broke bread. That action triggered a multiplier effect until there was a surplus of twelve baskets from just five loaves.

Now, your new strategy might not literally be praise, but be open-minded to ideas and inspiration that would end in you giving glory to God. Even a winning strategy can be infused with new elements to enhance productivity. Strategic positioning, higher deployment of improved technology, meet people and exert your presence. Self-drive and brand optimisation awareness, etc, are some ways you can strategically take over and dominate. Be all the more intentional!

TODAY'S TAKE HOME:

Every increase we seek is tied to a strategy we haven't deployed or paid full attention to.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to make the most of my opportunities and to strategically realign myself to increase in all ramifications of life. Cause my earth to yield her increase and lead me in the path of this abundance that's about breaking forth, in Jesus name, Amen 🙌 🙏
