In other words, salvation is not just securing a visa to heaven; on the contrary it is your guarantee for a life of impact on the earth.
You are born again to reign again. The first Adam was in charge, he was king of the earth, but sin brought him down. The second Adam, Jesus Christ,' came to re-establish your dominion.
Everyone that is saved on the planet earth is saved to shine, not to suffer frustration, humiliation or oppression. As a matter of fact, the believer can be said to be a celebrity, someone the world should celebrate.
God paid a dear price to make somebody out of you. He actually gave up His only begotten son to ensure that you live an outstanding life on the earth.
Without mincing words, you are redeemed to reign, not to be enslaved. That is why to die as a nonentity is an abuse on redemption, a slap on the face of God!
Making Maximum Impact is about affecting your world positively. It is about making the most of your life, standing out among your peers, being unique, a plus not a minus, a contributor not a detractor, a distributor not a beggar.
That is why Jesus said,
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted’ it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16
As the light of the world, the lost world should be able to get direction by observing the steps you are taking. You are a pacesetter by destiny! By virtue of redemption, the world should be learning how to go about the affairs of life by observing you.
Jesus also said, 'Ye are the salt of the earth’, because you are to give taste to life and preserve the world system from decadence. That should excite you because just as salt is relevant to the good taste of a meal, you are relevant to your world. In fact without you the world will have no taste and is bound to decay!
Everyone knows that a city set upon a hill cannot be hid because it is outstanding. So when Jesus said you are a city set on a hill, it means that you are destined to live an outstanding life, to stand above your peers.
God is a God of purpose and a God of programmes. He is running an open agenda for this end-time as prophetically revealed in scriptures. Isaiah 2:1-3 says:
The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
This prophetic agenda guarantees that you make a mark in your field of endeavour. We are in the success age of the Church, an age of supernatural manifestations, undeniable results, and best of all, we are a part of it all. The quality of results you have will command the respect of your colleagues. That goes to say that wherever you are located, you will stand out.
Therefore, even if you are at the bottom rung of the ladder now, you must rejoice because there is a glorious future for you in Christ!
Throughout this week, month and year, I believe that you will become a person of value, someone who will matter to your generation, a person of impact - In Jesus Name.
