Burn and Shine
Excuse me, Arise! Is not a common word, only mere men would say that for you to arise, you don't need strength to do so. So many men striving to be great has neglected those pains that comes out while trying to rise. In your arising, burning with take place. A baby doesn't start walking in just a day, it's a process and in that process, the baby falls and rise continuously till the legs gain mastery to the ground. The glory of your shining is in your burning. - Rev. Victor Mark.
The scripture said Arise, Shine, not Arise & Shine! It shows you have to wait before you shine and in your waiting, you go through the process of burning. Hear me! Everyman is entitled to burning and also entitled to shining. Arise in that context is not a mere word. In your rising, there mist be obstacles, challenges, persecution and so on, which is also part of the *BURNING*
I once quoted " Until scars converge on a man, he can never emerge as a star. Your burning is part of the sacrifices for greatness & greatness is part of the gifts from shining. You burn to shine. The encounter moses had in the burning bush is what gave him relevance in the sight of God and man. Very few run away from the burning bush and think the things that shinning would produce to us would last! No it won't. Jesus's burning was what made made him the Christ ( Messiah, Saviour & Redeemed ). Jesus burned for Christ to shine. Until you burn, you can shine!

The privacy of your heart
Everyman's heart is an enthronement of so many qualities. The heart is capable of controlling the words a man's lips would produce. How you guide your heart determines the kind of fruits it would produce. When a farmer plants a seed, the amount of water he releases on it determines if the seed would yield a tree in it's growth stage or wither away. It must grow to the farmer's desire.
The privacy of your heart is judged and controlled by who sits on the alter of your heart. The devil or God. The scripture says " Guide thy heart with all diligence because the heart is open naturally to anything that can damage your thoughts, so you determine what goes out and comes it! The heart is a strong faculty both in the realm of the spirit and the physical. What you look at determine the strength of your heart. ( proverbs 16:21, 23 ).
What do I mean by what you look at determine the strength of your heart? The words of God are guidelines that helps men grow, abiding in them helps manage your heart and gives you insight and direction on what comes out of your mouth.
The lust of the eyes cannot be separated from the heart. The heart can only be guided by what you see with your eyes. How possible can I look at your eyes and see your heart? Not possible! The heart is hidden. Only seen by God. The kind of privacy you give your heart is weighed by the kind of things your eyes gaze at and what your mouth utter and the kind of actions you make!

Greatness and pains
*THE PAIN FOR GREATNESS*
In the school of greatness, there is a class called the "Battleground of life" with the code " Pain and wounds, pain and gain ". Neglecting this stage of greatness is neglecting genuine greatness. It is only something that has sustain injury that understand the pain it went through. Until scars converge on you, it would be difficult to emerge as a star.
________________________________________________________
There is a level of glory a man cannot attain without wounds. It is only wounded men that can heal the wounded. You sustain to attain and until you sustain wounds, you can't attain the seat of greatness made for you, it is pain for me. Follow me, the seat positioned in the right hand of God was empty until Jesus came to earth to sustain what would make him attain the glory of that seat, I guess this was why he was wounded to heal us! Pain for greatness.
____________________________________________________
Your being wounded in the battleground of life is a proof that you want to be great or strive to be great. It is here every great man's story starts to emaciate from. There is no glory without a story. Pain helps you grow stronger in life, each time it comes, be strong to stand.
_*Knowing yourself from pains*_
It takes understanding to be enlightened, because what you don't have understanding of, you won't value it. If you understand the value of what your pains brings, you'd not take yourself for granted! Most pains are stepping blocks to greatness and only be knowing yourself would you be able to overcome the strength of that pain. Pain for greatness! Nothing goes for nothing.

Careful Risk
It is too risky not to take risk; I agree, I'm fully in support of that.
Great men don't become great by playing it safe, they take risk even if they get injuries in the path that leads to greatness, I once quoted and I fully agree with it. But do you know there are some risk you take that endangers your life.
What if you die in the process of taking risk on the path that leads to greatness, would you still achieve that greatness? No; keep reading, I'm driving at a point.
Real great men don't take risk anyhow, great men are careful risk takers, they understand the times and seasons on when such a risk will not endanger their lives but will still achieve that which they are striving to become.
You don't take risk because others are taking risk, what if it gets to your turn and the case becomes different, remember; destinies differs, every great head with it's own headache!
A man should know when to take risk, how to take risk; it requires strategic plans.
You need focus to take risk. It is one thing to take risk and another thing to take excess risk, excess risk is a risk taken without carefulness, without wisdom and without discernment. It will end up endangering your life and destiny and trust me, you won't achieve anything rather you'll see yourself reducing instead of increasing! Be careful when taking risk!
The lifestyle of a great future
Every great future has a lifestyle, the way you live your life now determines the kind of future you're gonna see, there must be a pattern you'll follow, any pattern that doesn't correlate with the future you desire can't work out for you!
It's not a matter of where you are now, what matters is where you're going to, when men know where they are going to in life, they will be careful how not to live a certain kind of life. You don't compare yourself with someone who for example fornicates everyday and you say how come this person is succeeding, if you try that pattern, it might not be conducive for the kind of glory you carry, what you posses is not what another man posses, know your possession and protect it because your future won't be settled if you live your life anyhow now!
Young ladies, who told you that, that kind of life you're living now is what God wants you to live, you have a great destiny that nations wants to come crying for at your feet; Esther wasn't picked by the king because she was only beautiful, there was a certain kind of life she lived that made her glory manifest on the day the king wanted a maid as wife. Hear me! You're not just even a wife material, your a mother nations will called blessed!
Young men, hear me! My name is Emmie Crown, there is a destiny and great future I saw about my life, that's why am living the kind of life I live today; It's a decision you must take if really you must make impact! Forget the fact that you have nothing now; come...Relax! You will have it in abundance, I am a blessed man not because I have millions somewhere but because there is a future I see that supersedes what am seeing now, nations are inside of you my guy, God won't be happy with you if you don't discover purpose! You are a great man.
The way you live your life now determines the kind of future it will manifest!

Living a unique life
If the journey of your life would take a separate path, then being unique or living unique must be a criteria of moving on that path.
Living a unique life is tied to living with dignity, honour and respect. When people live unique, they attract the attention of the earth. The earth was created by God in such a way that it requires men to shake it. To be a world shaker, you must act unique.
Oh, as the bible says, the devil moves around like a roaring lion, that's a unique pattern of living his life in order to deceive the sons of men. The reason why some men will remain stagnant in their journey of life is because they move like others. You can't continue to live like others to live daily, it reduces the value of your hidden abilities.
Every ability was given for a purpose and until you know that purpose, living a unique life would be difficult
Until you act uniquely, you can live a unique life.
I have come to understand that people who compare themselves with their peers has not come to the realization that they were born with different abilities and capabilities given by God. Greatness on earth will still remain a competition until people find out how unique they are.
The essential commodity to living a unique life is walking in the path of self discovery.
The more you discover yourself, the more you tend to live a unique life different from others. Living a unique life from self discovery kills envy and jealousy. It takes way hatred from the hearts of people.
One of the ways to live unique is to do what you're meant to do at the right time because you know the value of what you want to do.
Uniqueness brings value to people. It helps to mold a man to who he was born to become. Every great man that has lived became great either by a unique pattern of life they lived while still on earth.
You'll be more valued by God and men when you live unique.

The pursuit of vision
When men realize that they need to do things that would make them become their heart desires, it is necessary there should be a pursuit of that thing. Any vision not pursued intentionally can die without any manifestation. Desiring to be something in your heart is different from pursuing it in your outside. No matter how fantastic a man's vision is, if he does not pursue it, it will remain a fantasy.
Men of vision are bold men who take steps to actualize what they desire to become. You can be a limitation to your vision if you are lazy and if you keep procrastinating things that are needed to be done at the right time. God doesn't joke with men of vision. They are respectable people on the surface of the earth. If something tries to stop the vision of a man, that means there is a mission to be accomplished through that vision. You can sometimes be that something stopping the vision from manifesting because you lack the zeal and spirit of pursuit.
It is an error to pursue something and not get it except you decide to give up and if you give up, the vision will die! God said, write the vision, make it plain. That's a step of pursuit, if you don't take one step; God won't assist you with another. If you don't water your seed first; God won't send down rain later. Men actualize their visions through pursuit, when your heart has not desired it, there won't be any passion to pursue it. Pursue your visions, the earth is waiting for your manifestation!
