Rebrand You 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

 

Always excel, in point of fact, strive to excel. Reject mediocrity, average, excuses. Be the one who is known for always excelling.

Be versatile as versatility gives you an edge. The more versatile you are, the more options you have to take and make quality decisions.

Be truly knowledgeable. No one likes to listen to ignorant people let alone associate with them.

Spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, intellectually, dressence, in every area of your life, speech, emotions; reject anger, haste, resentment, envy, etc.

Be civil. Civility is a mark of good upbringing, decency and civilization. Do not give people the impression that you were raised in a forest, wild and untamed by refusing to be civil.

Whatever it takes, please be sociable.  Not everyone is sociable. But please learn the ropes.

Refuse to be petty no matter who or what is involved. It is not worth it. Pettiness downgrades your brand.

Do not bully other people. Bullies have always been despised and hated irrespective of their political, economic and social standing.

Work on your accent. There is no point acquiring regality and polish and when you open your mouth to speak, you sound like the ghetto person who never had access to quality education. The truth is that accents, good accents can be cultivated. It will take you time but it will definitely yield great results. Get cultivated accents.

Be elegant, refined, polished and sophisticated in 2021 and beyond. Own and wear exclusive clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry as well as other accessories. Buy and wear investment or mid luxury accessories and if you can afford it, splash on luxe; luxe as in luxe. It is not a sin and for crying out loud; luxe actually saves money for you. They last longer and can always be traded in.

Buy quality, elegance and stature without necessarily breaking a bank. The truth is you always find rare great deals if you know where to look.

Why You Must Rebrand Yourself

According to Jeff Bezos, your brand is what people say about you after you leave the room; your brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that accounts for a consumer’s decision to choose your product over another.

To rebrand yourself is to do a holistic internal and external reorganization of you, how you communicate, non-verbal and verbal communication, body language, the people you interact with, what you do for a living, your value systems, grooming and dressence, relationships as well as the institutions you associate with.

Discover who God says you are and envision yourself as God sees you – use your imagination. Live as God would have you live, look the way God wants you to live. Be who God created you to be. Do not try to impress anyone. Speak only what God wants you to say and do only what He wants you to do. Dress as He would have you dress and not as people would have you dress or you think you should dress.

Do away with every semblance of poverty be it spiritual, physical, mental, and financial.

Make everyone feel important, significant and relevant as well as needed. Therefore, speak, write, think, act, dress, gesticulate, speak what blesses and benefits people. Speak life to people and draw out their strengths by the grace, the great extravagant grace of God in you to do so by the Spirit of God. The Angel of the Lord referred to Gideon as the mighty man of valor, angel Gabriel said to Mary that she was highly favored amongst women.

Practice divine communication skills by always speaking the truth – Psalm 15 verses 2 to 3, Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 23, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 9 to 10. As much as possible, do not slander; do not cast slur on other people; do not complain – Numbers Chapter 11 verse 1, 12 verses 1 to 2, 1^st Corinthians Chapter 10 verse 10, Exodus Chapters 16 verses 2 to 12, note verses 2, 8 and 12; 15 verses 23 to 24, 17 verses 1 to 6, Numbers Chapters 14 verses 1 to 4, 26 to 28 and 16 verses 1 to the end. Speak good things about other people irrespective of who they are and what they did to you.

 A wise person speaks with wisdom – Proverbs Chapter 31 verse 26, 1^st Samuel Chapter 25 verses 14 to 35, 36 to 37, 1^st Chronicles Chapter 5 verse 20, Matthew Chapter 11 verses 28 to 30, 12, Matthew Chapter 17 verse 20, 7 verses 7 to 8, 8 verses 2 to 3, Mark Chapter 11 verses 22 to 24, 25 to 26, Malachi Chapter 4 verse 3. Always speak wisely.

Ask for and pray possibilities

No more waiting at the pool? Why? The stirring of water at the pool takes a while and even then only one person can be healed. This meant that the many sick people had to wait their turns either patiently or impatiently. Please read John Chapter 5 verses 1 to 9. The Bible even records that a certain man sick man had been there for thirty eight years. But one day, Jesus Christ showed up at the pool and the pain, shame, humiliation, helplessness, lack of any form of resources came to and as the man was completely made whole by Jesus Christ.

Beloved, Jesus Christ is the gateway to any form of possibility that you desire. He is the answer to the many questions in your mental processes that are begging to be answered. All you require is a divine encounter with Jesus Christ, a divine touch from Him. You can initiate that encounter today, even now by simply surrendering the totality of your being to Him so that you become a brand new creature in Jesus Christ or like the woman with the issue of blood, you can quickly touch the hem of His garment and be made completely whole.

It is true that Jesus Christ is not physically here for you to touch the hem of His garment. But you can do so spiritually, first by establishing a relationship with Him through salvation by faith in Christ Jesus and then asking Him in prayer to lead you to all the possibilities God prepared for you before you were born. Please read Jeremiah Chapter 1 verses 1 to 10.

Beloved, do not be afraid to ask for possibilities.

Jabez was born with a lot of minuses but Jabez chose to see possibilities. So rather than throw a pity party blaming his suffering on his mother, Jabez chose to talk to God and ask for a manifestation of the possibilities he had envisioned and seen. The Bible records that Jabez walked in, lived and enjoyed those possibilities for the rest of his life. Please read 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verses 9 and 10.

Jacob would have remained Laban’s slave for the rest of his life. But the possibilities of the greater tomorrow he saw inspired him to raise his own flock despite Laban’s consistent craftiness and deception. Please read Genesis Chapters 30 verses 25 to 43, 31 verses 1 to 13.

Women in biblical Israel would have probably remained without any inheritance rights but for the daughters of Zelophehad who saw the possibilities of them inheriting their father’s land. As they presented their case intelligently to Moses and the leadership of Israel, God intervened in their case and authorized Moses to allow them inherit what would have been their father’s inheritance if he was alive when the land was shared amongst his brothers.

If Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Micah and Tirzah, the five daughters of Zelophehad had not seen the possibilities of becoming landowners through inheriting their father’s portion, they would not have dared to approach Moses and the leadership of Israel to grant them the inheritance due to their father despite not having a biological brother. Please read Numbers Chapter 27 verses 1 to 11.

Therefore, do not wait endlessly like the man at the pool of Bethseda before making a move. Make your move in unceasing prayers to God – James Chapter 5 verses 13 to 18, Philippians Chapter 4 verses 6 to 7, Luke Chapter 18 verses 1 to 8, Matthew Chapter 7 verses 7 to 11, 1^st Kings Chapter 18 verses 41 to 46.

Ask for and pray possibilities

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery. Psalm 2 verses 8 to 9, NIV, Women’s Devotional Bible.

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking (reverently) and (the door) will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking  (the door) will be opened. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven (perfect as He is) give good and advantageous things to those who keep asking Him! Mathew Chapter 7 verses 7 to 11, Amplified.

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke Chapter 18 verses 1 to 8, KJV.

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1st John Chapter 5 verses 14 and 15, NKJV.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever,  Ephesians Chapter 3 verse 20, NIV, Women's Devotional Bible.

Ask me and I will tell you some remarkable secrets about what is going to happen here. Jeremiah Chapter 33 verse 3, NLT.
