RECOGNITION OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
As part of my January series, I bring you the second instalment from the book The Law of Recognition by Mike Murdock. Lets get down to business:
Did you know that you are here on assignment? You are not a blob of flesh that was carried for nine months and born to consume resources in the name of having fun. You have a higher calling.
I wish that you remember this as a guiding principle:
“Your assignment on earth is to solve a problem for somebody somewhere and receive a reward for it.”
No torment on earth equals the torment of living a life unrewarded for the gift and solution lying dormant within you.
10 facts that are important to know about your assignment:
1.Your assignment is always to a person or a people. (Jer 1:7 and 2Tim 1:11)
2.Your assignment determines the suffering and attacks you encounter (2 Tim 1:12)
3.What grieves you is a clue of what you are assigned to heal and restore (Nehemiah 1:3,4)
4.What you love the most determines the greatest gift you contain (Exodus 18:13,14)
5.Your assignment is geographical (Deut 12:14,26)
Who sees you determines who promotes you.
6.You will succeed when your assignment becomes an obsession
7.Your assignment will require seasons of preparation.
8.Your assignment may be misunderstood by your family, and those closest to you.
9.Your assignment will always have an enemy.
The difference between obscurity and significance is the enemy you decide to conquer.
10.Your assignment is the only place your financial success is guaranteed.
Lack is a clue that God is changing your assignment.
Recognizing your assignment will dry your tears, unload your burdens and restore joy to your countenance.

RECOGNITION OF AN UNCOMMON MENTOR
Hi people,
Hope you had a wonderful week, as I did.
Well, here is the first part of the series I am sampling out for you on Dr. Mike Murdock's book, The Law of Recognition.
Enjoy:
.............................................................................................................................................................
Mentors are teachers of wisdom. No matter who you are, if you are truly going somewhere, various mentors will enter and exit your life.
The Holy Spirit is your most dominant and most important mentor of all (John 14:15,16).
Wisdom determines the success in your life.
There are two ways to receive wisdom:
1.mistakes
2.mentors.
Mentors are the difference between poverty and prosperity, decrease and increase, loss and gain, pain and pleasure, deterioration and restoration.
12 Facts you should know about an uncommon Mentor:
1.An uncommon mentor is the master to the success of a protégé. “Wisdom is the principal thing…”(Prov 14:7)
2.An uncommon mentor transfers wisdom through relationship. (Deut 34.9)” He that walks with wise men shall be wise but the companion of fools shall be destroyed.”(Prov 13:20)
3.An uncommon mentor guarantees promotion.”Exult her and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.” (Prov 4:8,9)
4.An uncommon mentor will determine your wealth. “Riches And honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness” (Prov 8:18)
5.An uncommon mentor will paralyze your enemies against you. “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which your enemies will not be able to gain say or resist.” (Luke 21;15)
6.An uncommon mentor can cause influential people to listen to you. “ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him, and the children of Israel hearkened to him. “(Deut 34:9)
7.An uncommon mentor will require you to persist. He/she does not need to know what you know, you need to know what they know. Elijah never pursued Elisha. Elisha desired what was in him. The proof of desire is pursuit.
8.An uncommon mentor is more interested in your success than in your affection. His /her focus is not on the celebration of you but on the correction of you.
9. An uncommon mentor is not necessarily your best friend.
Your best friend loves you the way you are; your mentor loves you too much to leave you the way you are.
Your best friend is comfortable with your past, your mentor is comfortable with your future.
Your best friend ignores your weakness, your mentor removes your weakness.
Your best friend is your cheer leader, your mentor is your coach.
Your best friend sees what you do right, your mentor sees what you do wrong.
So suck it up and work it out.
10.An uncommon mentor sees things you cannot see. He/she sees weaknesses in you before you experience the pain of them. He sees an enemy before you discern them. He or she has already experienced the pain of the problem you are about to create. They see further seated than you would see standing.
11.An uncommon mentor will become an enemy to the enemies of his protégé. Jesus proved this when he dealt with Simon: “Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren (Like 22:31-32)An uncommon mentor will fight against any philosophy, pitfalls or prejudices that would rob the protégé the privilege of experiencing complete success in his life.
12.An uncommon mentor will create an uncommon protégé. Jesus took a fisherman and turned Peter into an uncommon preacher.
Everything you know will come through mentorship, by experience or a person.
Invest everything to spend time and moments with an uncommon mentor God has chosen to sow in your life.
Recognition of an uncommon mentor will preserve you from a thousand heartaches.

Thats all for now,
Keep inspired.

2011:YEAR OF WISDOM , KNOWLADGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Happy 2011 and all Gods blessings as you pursue his Kingdom on earth. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Well, one of the resolutions I have this year is to blog at least once a week. I pray that we keep the Kenyan blogosphere buzzing. It has been said that if you want to hide anything from an African, hide it in a book. That is so last Century! In this decade, the African has awoken and it is no longer time to play catch-up with the rest of the world. It is time for us not only to read books but also write them. It is time to paint the world from the 21st Century African perspective. All in favour say Aye!
I hold a degree in Literature, and I believe I have the gift of learning. So permit me to floss my wedding band with books. To begin with, let me share with you one of the most revolutionary books I came across in 2010. This book is a gem: The Law of Recognition by Dr Mike Murdok. (I’m tempted to do a complete review of the same, but im already biased!This is just a look…)
This book was written on the premise that life is governed by laws and ignorance of them is deadly. It recognizes that small changes can create great futures. The Law of Visualization, for instance, increases energy, health, even quality of friendships. The Law of Words, on the other hand, enshrines a powerful force of speaking your future into recognition. It is in this light that we view the Law of Recognition. This law is based on the understanding that everything you need or want is already in your life- merely awaiting your recognition of it. It goes on to state:
“Anything unrecognized becomes uncelebrated,
Anything uncelebrated becomes unrewarded,
Anything unrewarded eventually exits your life.’
The author, from the introduction , states that this law can:
Heal any wound in you
Unleash more enthusiasm than you have ever known
Unhappy memories die within you
Correct your focus
Create magnetism around you
Cause those in high places to pursue company and relationship with you.
Move you from poverty to prosperity
Replace your tears with laughter
Answer the questions buried within you for a lifetime.
Apart from the book recognizing that life is governed by laws, it notes that spiritual people do not always cooperate with the law of Recognition (Mat 8:18).The author promises that The law of Recognition will turn a life of failure into instant success. The Law of Recognition activates the laws of Preservation and Promotion. It can move you from a place of obscurity to a place of notoriety in 24 hrs.
Did you know that:
Some of the greatest gifts in your life have not yet been recognized.
God has put something close to you that you are not seeing.
Failure to recognize the gift is costing you dearly!
I am tempted to share with you all the notes I sourced form the book,(I am that inspired!), but then that would make common what the writer sought to share, apart from infringing on his copyright. Human beings, as the law of supply and the law of demand show, do not value what is common, even though it may be precious. So get the book, whether you are Christian or other. Some of the principles are universal and in their practice will make you a greater, better person.
The above notwithstanding, however, I will share with you three portions of the book in the coming weeks :
Recognition of your assignment
Recognition of an uncommon mentor
Recognition of the mate God has approved for you
Out of the twenty-something areas the book covers, these three, I believe, are essential for you to have a fanta-bulous 2011 and beyond. You don’t want to miss!
For now,
Shalom.
