MESSAGE TOPIC: Secrets of Existence at the Top (1&2)
By: Dr Paul Enenche

SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding what it takes to exist at the top place in life. What has been plentifully and abundantly established is that the top is the place for God’s people
But the top is never achieved by sudden flight or chance occurrence

For every rise there is a price. For every desired outcome, there is required input from man
It has been made abundantly clear that the top place is the place for God’s people. People don’t just happen at the top.

The top doesn’t happen by miracle occurrence For every desired effect, there is required effort.
For every needed flight, there is needed force. If anyone must go up in life in any realm, there must be effort and force

SECRETS OF EXISTENCE AT THE TOP:
1. The God-first heart or lifestyle (Matt. 6:33; Gen. 19:27; 1 Kings 3:3-13; 2 Chron. 26:5)

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO EXISTED AT THE TOP BY THE GOD-FIRST HEART/MENTALITY
1. Abraham(Gen. 19:27)
2. Solomon (1 Kings 3:3-13)
3. King Uzziah (2 Chron. 26:5)

When you give God His place in your life, you cannot escape the top place in life
2. The heart of servanthood (Gen. 40:3-4; Job 29:11-17, 21-25; 1 Sam. 22:1-2)
The willingness to be a servant in your generation is a secret of stardom in the Kingdom

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO EXISTED AT THE TOP BY SERVING THEIR GENERATION:

1. Joseph (Gen. 40:3-4,6-7)
What is the experience of people when they come in contact with you? It will determine how high you go in life. If you are not a success with people you will be a failure in life
The art of leadership is learnt through the act of servanthood

2. Job (Job 29:11-17, 21-25; 1:3)
Job practically served and serviced the needs of his generation
Job came to the point where he was the greatest person in the east because of his service to his generation (Job 1:3)

3. David (1 Sam. 22:1-2)
David served the destitute and stranded of his generation. The heart for your generation is what makes you a generational general

3. The pursuit of excellence (Gen. 41:8, 37-40; 1 Sam. 16:17-18, 21; 17:24-26; 18:6-7)
Doing what you do in life with the best of your ability is key to existence at the top
Giving the task at hand the best you have got is key to existence at the top

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO EXISTED AT THE TOP BY THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE:
1. Joseph (Gen. 41:8, 37-40)

2. David (1 Sam. 16:17-18, 21; 17:24-26; 18:6-7)
In the realm of music, and in the realm of war he was the best in those fields, till he became a song (1 Sam. 18:6-7). When you are ready to deploy your best, your generation will sing your song (1 Sam. 18:6-7)

3. Daniel (Dan. 1:20-21; 1:4)
Daniel was on top of the academicians (Dan. 1:20-21), he was on top of the magicians (Dan. 5:11-12), and he was on top of the politicians (Dan. 6:1-3).

SUMMARY:
Release your best and exist at the top

COUNSEL:
Make the choice and take the steps to exist at the top

SECRETS OF EXISTENCE AT THE TOP:
4. Dedicated service to God (Mal. 3:17-18; Ps. 89:20-21, 25; Deut. 34:5; Ex. 33:11; Deut. 34:10; Ps. 105:6, 42)
Servants of God are jewels of God;. If it is God that will lift you, dedicated service is non-negotiable. To stand out for God is to be set apart in life

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO EXISTED AT THE TOP BY DEDICATED SERVICE TO GOD:

1. David (Ps. 89:20-21, 25)
Dedicated service to God made David a generational reference of service

2. Moses (Deut. 34:5; Ex. 33:11; Deut. 34:10)
It is when you have not just the title but the heart of a servant that no devil can stop you from existing at the top

3. Abraham (Ps. 105:6, 42)

The way of service is the way of shining and stardom in the Kingdom. When you are too big to serve, you are too small to shine. There are many service avenues – find one; let God lay it in your heart.. Service does not reduce you

5. The heart of Humility (Jam. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5; Dan. 4:34-37; Prov. 29:23; Gen. 40:8b; 41:14-16; Rom. 9:16)

The heart of humility is always key to authority. It is better to be humble by choice than to be humbled by force. Humility by decision is better than humility from frustration

SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO ROSE TO THE TOP BY A HEART OF HUMILITY
1. Moses (Num. 12:3)
2. Joseph (Gen. 40:8b; 41:14-16)

Real authentic men of God are helpless without God. When you are not tired of acknowledging God for the things you see and experience then He will lift you up permanently. No matter what, prove to God that you are not bigger than your Lifter. God wants to bring you to the point that when people see you and hear of your results, they won’t believe it

3. Solomon (1 Kings 3:7-13) The limit of your humility is the limit of your lifting in God

6. The life of Diligence (Eccl. 9:10; Prov. 22:29)
The way of diligence is the way of eminence
Diligence is brutal deployment of your life’s energy
Do everything you can to ensure that what you do with your life is what you love to do
Give what you do no rest until it gives you rest

EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO EXISTED AT THE TOP BY THE LIFE OF DILIGENCE:
1. Jacob (Gen. 31:38-41)

2. Isaac (Gen. 26:18-24)
Isaac secured his place at the top by wearying out the opposition
Resistance is worn out by persistence
If you will keep working, no devil can stop your enlargement
Continuous deployment of labour is the secret of arrival at enlargement
Real people that God helps are not lucky they are ‘worky’; they labour and the labour attracts His favour

3. Paul the apostle (1 Cor. 15:10)
The way of labour is the way of honour

COUNSEL:
Make the choice, pay the price to exist at the top
