You Rule!

The following is an excerpt from Extraordinary by John Bevere.  Read this to set the stage for what you are about to read.

We’re no longer living the status quo.  We are influencers now, not followers.  If you’re a teacher, you should come up with the most creative and innovative ways of communicating knowledge and wisdom.  Other teachers should be amazed by your ingenuity.  If you’re a designer, your creative ideas should be highly advanced, cutting edge, and fresh.  You should be the leader in your field.

As a businessman or woman, you should come up with inventive ideas and keen marketing strategies that are ahead of the curve.  You should see what’s profitable and what’s not.  You’ll know when to buy and when to sell.  Other businesspeople will scratch their heads trying to figure out why you’re so successful.If you are a stay-at-home mom, you should be the most imaginative, most compassionate, and wisest in your neighborhood.  Others who haven’t been saved by grace will approach you for advice.

As rulers in life, we in essence meet people’s needs by the exceedingly great power that’s in us.  This is the victory that overcomes the world, which causes us to rule in life – our faith!
