Brother with a Message: An Opened Mind

By Anthony B. Willoughby

You must realize that you are made to be great but in a way different from that of others. As a young man, my now-bishop Eugene Johnson in Madison, Wisconsin, always made the statement "Wake up, you sleeping Giants."

If you can only realize that there is nothing wrong with you. God made you that way for a reason. Now that you are in the knowledge of the way of God, all the so-called bad things that you have gone through were just your life teachings. You are now prepared, more than others are in that area, to go back in not as you were but as a messenger to bring out others.

WAKE UP, YOU SLEEPING GIANT.

Your Life before and after Birth

The spirit that lives within you is you and once lived and dwelled with God. Once conceived in the womb, your spirit (you) was dispatched from heaven to be born, and all memory of living with God in heaven is erased and forgotten with one underlined mission: that we all share and feel, how to get back home to heaven.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I considered you. I appointed you a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5)

Remember God appointed you a prophet to the nations, but what is your role?

In life, many have taken paths that would be looked upon as not worthy of God, such as

criminal activities,

alcohol and drug abuse,

adultery,

theft and deceit,

prostitution,

murder,

and many others.

Does this mean you are not worthy? Remember, each of us was chosen by God before our arrival on earth. This may sound strange to many, but keep reading.

The steps of a good man or woman are ordered by the Lord.

Does any of the above mean you are not a good man or woman? We are all aware from our reading that Moses murdered a man but was still chosen by God to lead his nation. Moses was appointed before being born for this purpose. God does not make errors.

You were appointed to lead a nation before being born. In everything you go through in life, God knew you would take that path, and you are still the chosen one. All chapters in your life are education in some part.

The fact that you have done things that may, among the thoughts of some people, disqualify you as honorable; remember, God said you are the appointed one.

But appointed to what?

We all have the same internal common denominator, same bottom-line goal in this life: how to get back home to heaven.

God said he appointed you to lead a nation, and again, God does not make errors.

Moses was a murderer but was chosen to lead the children of Israel before he was born. Moses accepted that appointment but felt himself to be unworthy.

God told David, Solomon your son is the one who will build my temple (1 Chronicles). Solomon was appointed by God before he was born for this assignment.

Once you accept your appointment, God will open the doors and make the way. God has appointed pastors before they were born. We look upon the role of the pastor as the one to lead the people back to God. This is true and a fact.

Most pastors are looked upon as people who have lived their life as a good example to be followed. That is also an agreeable fact. But what about you? What nation will you lead back to God if your past is drugs, alcohol abuse, theft, prostitution, adultery, murder, etc.? For the most part, many will not feel worthy and will certainly not feel like an important person to God.

You are!

God allowed the path you have taken as an education
