Divine Pathways to Fame 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of English defines fame, an uncountable noun as the state of being known and talked about by many people.

Fame comes by consistently doing the work God assigned you the way He wants you to do it, where He wants you to do it, where He wants you to do it, when He wants you to do it and for whom He wants you to do it. It is the work that is done, albeit the quality of the work that God uses to bring about the fame. It is not jumping or running around other people who are conscientiously and diligently doing their work; engaging in idle chatter and frittering time. It is investing time, God’s precious time in the work God calls you to and has taken ample time to equip you for through His divine deposits of your unique gifts, talents, skills, expertise and divine connections. It is the impact of your work that brings about transformation in the lives of people that ultimately dovetails into fame. It is true that God is the author of fame and blesses His children with fame. However, that fame comes about by doing exactly what God wants you to do. 

Fame and honor comes by doing what God requires of you in the way He wants it done, when and where He wants it done and to whom He wants it done for and not necessarily how you want it done, where and when you want it done and whom it should be done for. God is the Only One who has the capacity and capability to order your steps into fame, wealth, and honor as you walk in divine purposes and timing as you work for God, do your work as unto the Lord. Fame is a function of your total and prompt obedience to God.

Who could be more famous than Jesus Christ? Nobody. How did He become famous? By doing what God asked Him to do in the way and timing and specific places where God asked Him to do what had to be done and by reaching out to the specific people God wanted Him to reach out to. Jesus Christ did not set out to be famous – Philippians Chapter 2 verses 5 to 11. Rather, He always set out to do what God required of Him and in the process, fame and honor followed him – John Chapter 4, Mark Chapter 1 verse 28, John Chapter 9 verse 4.

His life transforming ministry to people – He touched lives, brought about healings in diverse areas of life – spiritual, physical, mental, material and financial. Jesus Christ achieved global fame of all times by doing exactly what God required of him – Philippians Chapter 2 verses 5 to 11, John Chapter 4 verse 33. As He did this, the lives of many people were impacted positively by the grace and glory of God. The people whose lives were impacted as well as the ones who witnessed the impact, heard about the impact and saw it were the ones who spread the word about Jesus Christ. Please see Mark Chapter 5 verses 1 to 20, Matthew Chapter 4 verses 23 to 25, and Matthew Chapter 9 verses 18 to 31. 

Jesus’ fame spread by word of mouth on account of the divine purposes He fulfilled – Matthew Chapter 9 verses 23 to 26, 27 to 31, mark Chapter 5 verses 1 to 20, 6 verse 14, 7 verses 32 to 37 (note verses 36 and 37), John  Chapter 4 verses 28 to 30, 39.

Pray that God will cause people to hear about you, your talents, skills and expertise, your products and services so that they will flock to you for patronage in Jesus mighty name – Genesis Chapter 42 verse 2.

Ask God to raise people who will spread the word about you, your talents, skills and expertise, your products and services by word of mouth or as many channels there are of advertising and announcing you to the world in the mighty name of Jesus Christ – 1^st Kings Chapter 4 verses 30 to 34.
