The population of people in the world is about 7.1 billion. The mystery here is that no two persons are the same.

Even if they seem to be, their fingerprints would never be! That is the amazingness of God’s creation.

Different faces with different fingerprints. Uniqueness is what it is!


God is known for diversity. He created even the animals, each one in a way that is very different from the other.


To further show his diversified nature, God divided the ministry of Jesus into five folds. The aim was for the uniqueness of each ministry to be recognized and to create a synergy that would bring maturity and equipping to the body of Christ.



To everyone, there is usually an ability that makes them distinctive from others.


Never look down at yourself for you are special, and significant. Be sure that your existence is as important to God as it is to man.



Uniqueness makes people go after you because you are the one in the right position to offer something that they need.


You cannot be gifted and not needed. No!


Joseph and Daniel in the Bible were made phenomenal through the spirit of Wisdom. Their uniqueness emanated from the wisdom that they had and they became greatly sought after for their services.



Most times, it takes the spirit of Wisdom to open one up to his distinctiveness.



Do you want to be unique? Here are some tips:



1. Be Skillful: To be skillful is beyond learning about a business or a vocation.

It is investing your time into the appropriate knowledge needed to make you an expert in a chosen field or career.



There are many problems in various fields that need to be tackled and it is only skilled men that can bring solutions to these problems.


One skilled in business discovers prosperity, but the one who trusts in God is blessed beyond belief!” Proverbs 16:20.


One surest way to be unique is to invest in quality knowledge that will expand your scope and build you to a place of influence.


2. Values and Virtues: Success doesn’t come only by being skillful. There must be personal core values you must imbibe into you to be outstanding, and remarkable.


Most organizations look for people who are not only skillful but are reliable and committed.


Besides, as true believers, we must imbibe in us the values of the kingdom. This is the only way we can manifest God.



3. Wisdom: Wisdom is a gift given liberally by God. Even, He is the hub of wisdom.


For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” {NLT} – Proverbs 2:6


Divine wisdom effortlessly generates uniqueness. Solomon was a perfect example! His wisdom induced his uniqueness and gave way to his relevance.


However, wisdom is beyond what we want to show, it is what God wants to show through us. That through our life, God is put on display.


Albeit wisdom attracts people to you, it is still the character that keeps them. Pray for wisdom alongside a decent character.


4. Mindset: One of the greatest strongholds of a man is his mindset.


The mind is the channel by which God brings every spiritual reality to expression.


Until it is transformed you can’t think fair of yourself. Who you are, determines what you have seen with the eyes of your mind.


Change the perception of what you think you are and see yourself in the light of God’s definition.



Alleluia!
