In this chapter, we will delve into one of the fundamental strengths of the conscious minority and a pillar that governs life, success, and greatness- the law of perception. This law posits that the way the majority perceives life, battles, challenges, and situation often keeps them at the lowest levels of existence. Understanding and masteringthis law is crucial to joining the conscious minority. The conscious minoritycomprehends the importance of perception.
Consider the question God asked jeremiah in the scripture; "jeremiah, what do you see". This profound question is one we must all answer. What do you see, How do you interpret life, What is your perceptionof challenges and battles, The truth is, nothing inherently is; perception shapes reality. Perception is your interpretation and definition of life's issues and situations. It is not about what you see, but how you perceive and interpret what you see. Perception defines whether you see adversaries opportunities, obstacles, or miracles.
Perception is everything. Success on earth depends on aseeing things correctly and aligning your vision with God's perspective. The majority fail to succeed because they have a flawed perception. Only the conscious minorityu sees accurately. How do you perceive life, This question is pivotal. For example, my perspective of my environment is that i live in a land filled with milk and honey. This positive perception shapes my reality. It's not about the physical land being dry, but about having a clear and positive vision. There are no dry lands, only dry sights; no barren location only barren minds. Success is determined by how you see and interpret your surroundings and situations. To be a part of the conscious minority, you must adopt the right perception. This shift in perspective will transform how you approach life's challenges and opportunities, leading to success and greatness.
God said to jeremiah, "what do u see" Jeremiah's correct interpretation led God to commend him for seeing well. The question now is, do you see well, When faced with obstacles, can you perceive miracles , can you see what others call warfare and instead see welfare, Where others see nothing, can you envision gold, riches, blessings, and prosperity, I have pastored in plaves that seemed like dry land, yet i brought forth fortune from those places. Your location is not the issue; your perception is. Perception is the mother of all exploits. If you live and work in a place that you perceive as barren, if you believe your business or career is doomed, then it will be so, according to your perception. Even God acknowledges and responds to your to your perception. Success depends on how you interpret your surroundings and challenges. Seeing well means recognising opportunities where others see obstacles. It means perceiving potential and blessings in situations that seem bleak. Your perception shapes your reality and dictates your outcomes. Therefore, cultivate a positive and insightful perception to transform your life and achieve greatness.
As the children of isreal were about to enter jeicho, they encountered the seemingly insurmountable wall of jericho, with the city completely shut so that no one could go in or out. Historically, no one had ever conquered the fortified city of jericho. Yer, God spoke to joshua, assuring him that he had given jericho into their hands, including its mighty men of valor. At first glance, the city was securely shut up to prevent the isrealite from entering and possessing it. However, God instructed them to disregard the wall and move forward to take possessions of their city. This scenario possess a critical question; when you face obstacles, challenges, and difficulties, what do you see, if you can perceive miracles when faced with obstacles, you align yourself with the conscious minority. If you can find prosperity in adversity, you join this select group called the conscious minority.
Many people are paralysed by fear, anxiety, and worry, which blinds them to the opportunities around them. The city of jericho was shut up precisely because of the children of isreal, and God declared, "i have given the land to you". Any place that seems closed off by the enemy is the place God has destined for you. If a location appears difficult, impossible, or barren, it is likely the place God has given you. He instructs you to see according to his word, not according to the situation or condition. Your perception of obstacles determines your miracles, and your perception of difficulty dictates your progress. How do you view challenges, when you see a battle, how do you interpret it, when confronted with negative situations, what is your perspective ? Perspection is everything. God's actions are influenced by how you perceive your circumstances.
THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY:
exodus 13;17-18
from egypt to the promised land, following the land of the philistines would have been an eleven- day journey. However, because the isrealites had been in s*****y for four hundred and thirty(430) years and were not trained for war, God led them through the wilderness, which eventually took them forty years. Going through the land of the philistines would have exposed them to war, but they did not realise that dodging this would lead to even greater challenges. The route of war is the shortest route. By dodging war and battles, you are elongating your journey. If you do not rise to face challenges, you are extending your path.
THE TWELVE SPIES:
Do you know that the twelve spies, still in the wilderness, were sent to go and spy on the promised land? Ten out of twelve ( the majority) came back with a bad report, while the remaining two ( the conscious minority ) came back with a good report. They went to spy on the same land. The same land tghe ten went to spy on. Stop sying that where you re is bad. When another person is sent to that same location, he or she genertes a better result. This has been my story with pastor esther. I remember my father, Bishop david oyedepo, holding my hand as he was about to release us from Winners Chapel Worldwide to start the work we are currently undertaking. He said, "my son komaiya, everywhere we have posted you, you did not dissapoint". He said to me, " Komaiya, everywhere i have sent you, you have done exceptionally well
