Who’s Pimping Your Destiny?

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself. -Diana Ross

In the 1960’s and 70’s, Berry Gordy dominated the black music industry of Motown, with some of the greatest artist and memorable songs. He had a tight grasp on his artists where they could not have room to maneuver out of his ironclad contracts, in order to have freedom to be creative artists in their own right. Gordy was a slave master at creating his destiny through his performers. They were the puppets for his routine shows.

Do me a favor. View your life as you wake up, from Sunday to Saturday, from the first day of the week you go to church, to the last day of the week you finish work You invested so little in life, to get so little in return. Your life has adopted the same robotic daily routine, where people, places and things have locked you in a state of complacency, causing you to be at the same level they’re on, while you never have the power to advance beyond their league. Submitting to their desires of sharing your company, you sell your time and yourself out cheap to people, like a prostitute who sells their companionship. Avoid people, places and things pimping you out for your time and talent. Cease loaning your mind to anything that you can’t challenge and learn for yourself. If you’ve been lectured to without you debating back, then you’re brainwashed. A whore will believe anything her pimp preaches to her, without learning to be her own.

People, places and things won’t cut you loose to explore new territory, because they need to rely on your resources and talent, so they can shine. Of course it’s wonderful to socialize, network and have places for enjoyment or learning, nonetheless, there is a time to measure how far you advanced among these areas of your life. Even when promoted to higher positions in careers or education, in order to advance, your time and effort can no longer be spent on the same routines and associates that you surpassed. You’re in the big leagues now, and you have to move on from the minors. You can’t be concerned about people feeling insulted by your life being to busy, just because you’re achieving higher goals that don’t coincide with their time. That’s not your problem. You’re doing them a favor by helping them to move on and discover their life, so they can explore new things about themselves. You as well are accomplishing this in the Lord as the power of Yahh.

It’s hard for people to leave people, places and things, because they become so attached, that they feel they owe some type of loyalty or devotion to this attachment. In retrospect, you must be loyal and devoted to yourself first, so you can serve your purpose in life. If these routine attachments are not allowing you to challenge your own abilities and to question others, then you’re just a slave to a sermon or a career, because you are not a master of your own destiny. You have your own ministry. A ministry is a cause to increase your God given abilities. A ministry is not a church you attend, or else you will be following someone else’s destiny. Following someone else’s ministry clashes with your destiny, because they are the ones who have the power and control the outcome. This is why ministries get people to support their ministry, so followers can finance the minister’s destiny, because it cost to grow a destiny. You’re worth more power in Yahh.

Breaking the Curse of Hesitation of the Nicodemus Spirit

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. -James the Apostle of Jesus

Will you be where you need to be in your life in three years? Well, if you’re going down the same direction with the same traditional strategies as Jay Leno from the “Tonight Show”(changed from 11pm to 10pm back to 11pm), which became hesitant as Nicodemus about which way to choose. Then, not only are you confused, but, you’re confusing your audiences as well, and the competition or adversary will take advantage of your weakness. The famous Gen. Colin Powell said, “Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.” People who hesitate are the fearful ones left behind. Losers!

Hesitation sets in when you set goals that you’re not passionate about pursuing. That’s why manufacturing plans about being a millionaire, raises the bar, and causes you to lose focus on reality goals formed within your own talents. In other words, pursuing money will conjure up get rich quick schemes in your mind. You need to challenge your competitors, competition, (enemy) to a duel with your talents, so you can draw their audiences to your side. Hesitating to do so will make you look like a phony coward, who doesn’t stand for what they believe in. This is the only way to prove if you’re really the best at what you do, in order for witnesses to judge your qualities. Audiences root for the underdog who stands up against the powers that be, principalities and powers in high places. You’re battling not against flesh and blood, but battling for the mind. The mind is our attention. You’re fighting to win attention. Persistence pays off, even if it seems tough. War is won when you stay the course and conquer the territory of the mind first.

One day my Internet was down, which comes through the cable company. They were already scheduled to come out a few days later. But in my determination, I called and spoke with a rep, which seemed eager to get me off the phone quickly, without giving me any success. So, as I moved on to attempt to fix the cause myself (at other times in the past it got the job done), but taking every phase to get connected without any luck, I didn’t hesitate to return a call to the cable company again. I was determined in my endeavor to have it running, by any means necessary. My career, research and finances depend on it. Losing two days is like one month worth of success. The next rep took me through different steps, which led to a miracle that seemed simple. Win their attention!

You must face your challengers in an unorthodox style, by using a different approach that nobody has experienced before. Shake things up and make it interesting, this way you won’t become predictable and boring like the traditional adversary. Resist the devil and he will flee, so says the Bible. Sun Tzu says; “To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Go against following the way everybody else is doing things and your obstacles will be removed. This is why sermons are traditional, because they are never challenged, where nothing has progressed to your expectations, because you’re still struggling. But when you hesitate to challenge tradition, like Nicodemus hesitated to confront his traditional doctrine of the church, then you’re double minded and unstable.
