2020 My Year Of Greatness

2. Walk in obedience: If there is one thing that defines Abraham it is strict obedience to God’s instructions. Read all the promises God made to Abraham. For example, in Gen 12:1-3, and Verse four says. “So Abram went, as the Lord had told him;” Read: Sometime later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham! ” Here I am,” he replied. 2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” 3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey.” Gen 22:1-3. You cannot become great until you pass the test of obedience! I don’t know the level you are at now but God said I should tell you he wants you to become great, but that greatness will be predicated on your personal obedience to what he tells you to do. You will need to ask God -what he wants you to do in the year 2020 and whatever he tells you to do and you must be careful enough to do it. I guarantee you as a servant of God your greatness will emerge.

I was in my comfort zone in Warri Delta state and I thought I was blessed, and so when God told me to move to Canada I refused. I could remember writing my resignation letter albeit not in sincerity at Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) a subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)and I gave it to my Managing Director, and he tore it saying “Dr. Dada Nigeria needs you more than Canada.” I left his presence rejoicing telling whoever wants to hear that I wanted to obey God, but my resignation was not accepted! Fast forward after 20 years of obeying God, I have seen my life blossom and my greatness just emerging! God took me from practicing Chemical Engineering to Jesus Engineering. God took me from refining oil to refining souls. On the platform of International Gathering of Eagles(IGOE) alone where God told me to go and raise an ‘eagle generation’ I obeyed God and started IGOE in 2003. Since 2009 I have been training church and non-church leaders in nothing less than 10 nations a year. In the past year 2019 I was in Norway, Spain, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania and Uganda and Nigeria. God has enabled me and the team to hold the IGOE Conferences in over 40 nations and preached the gospel in over 70 nations Just because I obeyed him! I am sure you have your stories of obedience to tell and greatness that has dogged your feet or disobedience that has stagnated you!

3. GREATNESS BEGINS WITH SELFLESSNESS.

What is selflessness? Being more concerned with the needs and wishes of others than with your own. Selfless is the opposite of selfish. If you're selfless, you think less about yourself, and more about others — you're generous and kind. Being selfless is like being altruistic — another word for giving to others without looking for personal gain. Moses left the comfort of Pharaoh’s palace to identify with the Hebrews. Heb 11:25-27. Read Joshua 13 and you will see how Joshua a great warrior conquered kings, took lands and territories for the people of God. Read Gen 14 and see how Abraham led an army to wage war against formidable kings that were bent on destroying his nephew Lot who had treated him badly earlier. You cannot become great with your selfish prayer life of me, me me. You cannot become great when you cannot open your palms to give to the gospel. I was in Warri, CAC Bethel Effurun in December and I saw when they took offering how it was largely 10 naira and 20-naira notes! One dollar is 370 naira! So honestly, I don’t know the equivalent 20 naira in cents. But I had to challenge them “what do you take God for? I asked with trepidation. If 10 naira is all you have God understands but you cannot make mockery of God. Nobody forces you to give to God but learn to be selfless in giving to humanity through any, channel that will be the beginning of your greatness. Learn to donate to charities, research centers, hospitals, institutions, ministries, at death will some property to great agencies. Donate blood.
