I give you one year, God will make you unrecognizable

I give you one year! Just one year, and those around you won’t recognize you anymore. Your parents will be shocked to see how much you’ve changed. If you think this is just an empty word, you haven’t yet understood that God always does what He says. So let me tell you one thing: there is nothing more powerful than the Word of God. It is fire, it is water, it is a hammer, it is a sword, it is life, it is light, it is truth. And today, as you sit at His feet like Mary did, as you expose your spirit to His voice, a transfer is taking place. There is a spiritual radiation, a supernatural fusion! Glory to Jesus!

But why do most young people live below their potential? Why are so many lives stagnant despite burning dreams? Why do so many prayers seem unanswered? Brother, sister, it all begins with a decision: the decision to choose the path of wisdom, the decision not to rely on emotions, but to fix your eyes on Christ. In Luke 10:39, Mary understood that no endeavor in this world is greater than sitting down and listening to Jesus. You want to change? Start listening to Him. That’s the choice that makes you a wonder. That’s why He said:

I am writing to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you. (1 John 2:14)

Sitting at the feet of the word triggers a transfer

You didn’t come here because you had nothing to do. You didn’t enter into God’s presence because your schedule was empty. No. You’re here because you understood you need to sit down. Sit where? Sit at His feet. Sit to listen. Not to argue, not to talk about relationships, not to ask who your future husband or wife is—relax. The time has come to soak in the Word that gives life. Because that Word heals, restores, builds, enlightens, gives understanding, inspires, gives faith, gives courage, cleanses the heart, sets the soul free, strengthens the spirit. This Word is alive and active. It is your original material. Come and eat it!

So, every time you expose yourself to that Word, it’s like exposing yourself to the sun. It penetrates. It radiates. It transfers. And how does this transfer manifest? Through life, through grace, through understanding, through boldness, through the fire of the Spirit. This Word shapes a new you. A radically different you. And in a few months, people who once despised you will come back and ask: how did he or she become like that? It will be unexplainable except through one revelation: you sat down and you listened. And the invisible became reality.

The battles you face reveal your prophetic greatness

You’re under attack? Glory to God! You’re being attacked violently, relentlessly, in a particular way? Let me tell you: it’s because you’re dangerous. You’re potential. Satan never wastes bullets on empty targets. If he’s attacking you, it’s because he has sensed that in you is a lion ready to roar. That’s why you feel oppressed in your soul. That’s why filthy thoughts invade you. That’s why gripping addictions aim to chain you down. It’s not a coincidence: it’s a war against the strength God has placed in you.

Joseph, at 17, said no to Potiphar’s wife. Daniel, a young exile in Babylon, said no to compromise. David, a little shepherd, said no to lies and refused to kill the one God had anointed. And you? You want me to believe it’s not possible? It’s not true. You can say no to debauchery. You can say no to the world’s system. But it requires a mindset. You must understand that the spiritual world doesn’t respect your age. You can be 12 or 20, hell will show you no mercy. If you’re weak, you will be devoured. The only thing the enemy respects is light. And light comes from the Word.

The lion rules by its mindset, not its strength

Why is the lion the king of the jungle? He’s not the fastest: the cheetah runs faster. He’s not the smartest: the octopus and dolphin are ahead. He’s not even the biggest or heaviest: the giraffe stands over 5 meters tall and the elephant weighs over 3 tons. So why is everyone afraid of the lion? Because the lion has the mindset of a killer. He lives with the conviction: “You, I’m going to eat you.” He sees an elephant and says, “Yum yum.” He sees an obstacle and says, “I’m going to rule here.” What makes a man rule is not his abilities, it’s his mindset.

God wants you to be like the lion. You may not be the most gifted, not the most handsome, not from an influential family. But if your mindset is calibrated by Heaven, you’ll surpass everyone. That’s why Proverbs 4:23 says:

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Your heart is the nuclear plant of your existence. Nourish it with the Word and you’ll become a light that no one can ignore.

Shine through competence, not just through anointing

You want to spark a revival in your school? Start by being excellent. The best spiritual strategy at school is not bringing oil or posting verses in lockers.

• Start by getting 90% in math.
• Start by being at the top of the class.
• Understand lessons quickly.
• Help others.

You want to be heard? Learn to be excellent! The Holy Spirit does not sanctify laziness; He sanctifies excellence! Daniel and his companions were ten times smarter than the rest. Why? Because they chose to be wise, and God honored them.

I’m telling you: you are a lion. At school, you can shine. You want to influence? Let God first train your mind. You want to talk about Jesus? Don’t be a spiritual clown. Be respected. Be sought after. Be feared. Showcase your intelligence. Be a light that shines, not a caricature people avoid.

Also shine through your attitude. Your emotional wealth is your other weapon. The world is drawn to people who are strong, joyful, consistent, enthusiastic, full of boldness. A depressed Christian attracts no one. But you, be a living magnet. Be full of hope even when everything goes wrong. Speak faith. Speak future. Speak power. People will come to you: “Tell me how you do it.” And then you’ll say: “Come, I’ll show you Jesus.”

Struggling? It means you’re not shining yet

Why are you struggling to live? Why is your bank account flat? Why does your professional life seem stalled? The truth is, you’re not shining yet. The world doesn’t pay intentions, it pays results. Shine and you’ll see how money is drawn to your difference. Solve problems. Bring solutions. Increase your value. God gave you a seed of greatness.

• Invest in yourself.
• Educate yourself.
• Discipline yourself.
• Develop self-control.
• Learn cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, languages, leadership, design—anything!
• But educate yourself!

You want to shift dimensions? Let God change your mentality. I assure you, your future is not ahead of you. It is in you. Stop relying on anointing alone. David had an accurate shot well before the anointing. The anointing came on top of a skill. And that’s the combination that changes everything. Trained + Anointed = Unstoppable.

Let’s pray together

Father, I thank You for Your Word. Thank You because today, I choose to believe what You say. I end the enemy’s lies. I’m not weak. I’m not cursed. I’m not a prisoner of my past. I am a lion. I am a light. I will shine. I will walk in excellence, wisdom, and purity. I reject disobedience, distraction, spiritual laziness. I choose to honor my parents, sanctify my body, protect my heart. Lord, I give You my life as a living sacrifice. Ignite the fire in me. Give me success this year. Inspire me with Your choices. I will be the young wonder You saw. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

🙏 If you’ve never given your life to Jesus, say this prayer now:

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I accept You today as my Lord and Savior. Change my heart and lead me into the destiny You’ve prepared for me. Amen.
