PEOPLE THAT MAKE THINGS HAPPEN

You are most welcome in Jesus' name. Please open with me this morning to Daniel chapter 11, and we'll be looking at verse 32 of Daniel chapter 11.

Our focus is on the second part of that scripture: "it's about the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits." And I'm sharing this morning on a message titled, "The People That Make Great Things Happen."

The journey begins by listening to the exploits that were done by others, including the previous generation. The time comes where you, as a person, should arise and begin to do great things, great things. And we're going to discover that there is a process through which these is fulfilled. An inability to understand that it takes a particular process and pattern has hindered many who had the potential for great things from actually manifesting and accomplishing great things in their own time.

And CC, someone had a revelation over 20 years ago where the Spirit said, "Nothing happens by accident. Nothing happens by accident. Nothing happens by accident." So when someone receives a revelation saying, "Nothing happens by accident," what could this statement be indicating? What could this be indicating?

"By accident" in this statement implies that uncommon results, uncommon achievements, great things, great exploits are made to happen by something or by someone. Uncommon results, uncommon outcomes are caused to happen either by something or by someone. Uncommon results and uncommon outcomes are due to the influence of something. They are due to the influence of someone. And anywhere there is no influence, it doesn't happen. Anywhere someone or something makes, does not initiate that thing into being, it doesn't happen. They can keep thinking about it, talking about it, analyzing it, desiring it, but it doesn't happen until something or someone makes it happen. It just cannot happen on its own.

"Nothing by accident" is not implying that nothing happens by chance. It's not implying that nothing happens by coincidence. Rather, what this revelation is implying is that nothing happens except something makes it happen. Nothing outstanding happens except something causes it to happen. That is, nothing happens without the cause.

Enable the things that happen by chance, that is, unintentionally or mistakenly, are still directly or remotely made to happen. Even the things that have happened by chance, that happen by error, by mistake, something is still responsible for making that thing happen, even though it was not intentional. For every unexplainable thing that has ever happened, for every mysterious thing that has ever happened, there is always something that made it happen, although it may not have been discovered. There is always something that made it happen. When such unexplainable things happen, there must be a cause.

So, "nothing happens by accident" is implying that there is often something that makes an uncommon thing to happen. When an uncommon thing eventually happens, something made it happen. Someone made it happen. Where you see things working, someone made things work. Someone made those things work. Someone put a structure in place. Someone or a group of people put that structure in place, put the system in place, and then some people are sustaining the structure, sustaining the system to ensure that what was in order, what was in place before, is still very much in order.

There is often a cause behind uncommon things that happen. That's why it's not common. There is awful an influence that makes such things happen. There's also often an influence. There is often a force, a power that makes these things happen. In some instances, there is a spiritual influence. There is a spiritual influence behind what has happened. Other instances, it is a human influence that is behind what has happened. And a lot of the things you are seeing across the globe today are either due directly or remotely to some spiritual influence or due directly or remotely to human influence, human initiative.

There is often a catalyst that makes uncommon things happen. In so many other instances, it could be some specific action or a combination of actions that makes that thing to happen. And in some, in some dimensions, without called such actions keys, we call them success keys. So, steps to success, depending on the particular realm or circumstance. We'll be talking about there's often an approach or process that makes uncommon things to happen.

Then the word "nothing," when it says "nothing happens by accident," in this particular context of such a revelation, is not talking about, he's not using it in the general sense of nothing. "Nothing" is actually referring to great things. So when the Spirit of God comes to a man or woman and says, "Nothing happens by accident," it's not just talking about nothing in general. He's talking about great things.

So wake up, my daughter. Wake up. You will need to do more for you to move higher, move faster. Stop waiting for things to get better. Take the initiative to do what it will take for things to get better.

In Daniel chapter 11, verse 32, it said, "The people that do know their God, they shall do great exploits. They shall carry out great exploits. They shall do great things." Achievers are those who do. Achievers are those who carry out big dreams, great desires. They carry out that which has been found to be extremely effective as a strategy.

In the New King James version of Daniel 11:32, he said, "The people that who know their God." And I'm speaking to men and women, young and old, who know their God. And the Bible says, when you are in this category, there will be a transformation. There will be a transformation by rising of your closer relationship and understanding of the workings of God. And then it now puts you on the right platform to begin to manifest and carry out many things that others may not be able to. You will not be in a position to do great things. You'll be in a position to do outstanding things.

He said, "nothing." "Nothing" in this statement is often used to describe uncommon results. Can somebody say uncommon results? And that would be the testimony of your child from today. That will be your own testimony from today. Uncommon results. So when the Holy Spirit says, "Nothing happens by chance, by accident," He is telling you that uncommon results don't just happen by accident. Stop expecting uncommon results without doing what it takes to generate the uncommon results. And that is why time is passing, and the great dreams are not manifested.

"Nothing" in this statement is referring to consistent favorable outcomes. Consistent favorable outcomes. When you see someone consistently achieving, you know certain favorable outcomes over and over and over and over. You see, we exhaust something is behind it. There is a reason. There is a, there is something making it to happen. There is something causing it to happen. It's not just happening.

And one secret of life is that if you can investigate and find out what is making it happen, not some of the reasons, but all of them. Because sometimes you could have five out of six keys, and the last key, unfortunately, may be a key that is indispensable. So even though you have done everything, you have put so much together, the fact that there is one necessary factor, there is one essential factor, vital factor that is missing, it affects your ability to achieve the ultimate result. Even though you have done, you have already gotten more than 90 percent of the keys and the steps, sometimes one just one step you are ignoring is what is hindering the full manifestation of your potentials.

So "nothing" here is referring to uncommon success. It doesn't just happen by accident. Uncommon feats. There is a factor. Even the life of something you saw, something you know, doing things that were unbelievable. There was a reason. There was a fact. There was a cause. And what was that? There was a supernatural grace upon him. There was a supernatural grace upon him, and that was why he was able to do the things he was doing. Uncommon victories. Uncommon victories don't just happen.

Great exploits. There is a new face and season in your life, but God is telling you clearly that it's not just going to happen. You have to make it happen. To becoming the best in the world. Do you want to be the best in the world? It does not happen by accident. You are not going to wake up one day and just and just discover that you are the best in the world. God will show you the vision, and that vision is, is not bound to happen 95 percent of the time, by our study of the irreversible will of God, it's not bound to happen. That's the reality. And the earlier we accept, you know, realities, even with the things of the Spirit, the better.

So at a time, you know, we should be more aggressive. We don't take things easy, only to discover that years after, what we expected to happen has not happened. And if we may ask at this point, do the major things that have happened in your life all happen by chance? The major things that have happened in your life so far, did they happen by chance? What other people call a major achievement in your life today, did it happen by chance? It becomes clear to you that no, it's true. It doesn't just happen by chance.

Even looking at your own major achievement, even if it's just one, you know that it didn't just happen by chance. So if your son, if your daughter wants to also achieve the same thing, you, you know that there is, you have things to tell him. You have things to tell her on how to achieve it. That is not just going to happen. This is how I was able to achieve this thing.

And one of those keys we are going to, uh, clearly observe is that, you know, becoming a great achiever in life is not about starting things. Even though starting is a key factor of the of the journey, you are going to discover that there are many who go beyond that point and unfortunately, many give up in the face of disappointment, in the fate of failure. Unknown to you, what you are calling failure is not failure. What you are calling failure is initial failure. Initial failure. It is only when you conclude that this thing can never be achieved that is when the initial is cancelled and we consider it as failure. But as long as you still believe it can be achieved, that means you are going to try again. You are going to go back, re-strategize, and try again. Then that means it's just an initial failure.

And that is why many of the things we celebrate today, before it was achieved, whoever was involved failed many times. Failed many times. Is it about anything with electricity? Some a thousand times, some a hundred times, and some many times, countless times. But something inside them kept on, you know, encouraging them that this thing will work. So those who make things happen, they work hard. They work hard towards achieving that particular desire, goal. They work hard towards solving that problem. They work hard towards overcoming that challenge. Those who make things happen, those who make things happen, they don't give up. They don't give up.

"Nothing happens by accident." It's not an ordinary statement. It's deep. And that statement can never come from the Holy Spirit to just anybody. That statement is spoken to people who have future. That statement is made to people who have great things ahead of them. There is something you have a potential to achieve. And that is why the Holy Spirit is saying, "Nothing happens by accident." It's an indirect encouragement. It's also a wake-up call. In fact, it's also also a warning that please don't deceive yourself to assume that these great things that you have seen by revelation or you have been told you have the potential, don't by any reason think it will just happen cheap, or it will just happen like that, or it will just happen at first attempt. It may be easy for every other person, but in your own case, it's going to be a battle. That is it. That is life. That is life.

Someone that doesn't even want children will conceive and the nesting triplets. And the next thing is that the husband has run away. And while they are still battling on how to train those triplets, you know, the United States conceived again. And the next one again is not even one. The next thing you hear doctors say, another one is coming out. And then another one, triplets again. And then some others are waiting on God for just one, just one. And then God says, "I will give you a son. I will give you a daughter." And you know, every time God speaks, every time God shows us things, it will appear as if it will look like it's going to happen tomorrow. It will look like it's going to happen now. It will look like it's going to happen now. That's why when you begin to grow in the prophetic, you are maturing the prophetic. When you are now releasing certain prophecies, you use terms like "very soon." Because "very soon" can be 50 years. "Very soon" can be 40 years. But that time will stick on that thing attached to that prophecy will still be fulfilled. Praise the Lord.

So you have to work hard to achieve or overcome whatever needs to be dealt with. You have to make intelligent efforts, wise efforts, and wise steps, wise and sound strategies. And then you have to be persistent.

Who are those that always make things happen? Someone observed that there are three kinds of people. Those who make things happen. As the first group. Those who make things happen. Who are those in the first group? Those who make things happen. Then the second group, those who watch what happens. Those who watch what happens. And then the third group, those who wonder what happened. Who won that what has happened? To be successful, you have to be a person who makes things happen. You have to be a person who makes things happen.

In order for you to have the kind of life you desire, you will have to be proactive in creating it. You have to be proactive in creating that kind of life that you desire. You have to take steps ahead of time. Take note of these attributes. People who make things happen, they have some common attributes. One, they are goal getters. They are goal getters. Number two, they set realistic goals. Realistic goals. That is what separates them from daydreamers. It's one of the reasons daydreamers, they may not, they won't even have a plan or a realistic plan to achieve. By time you look as we listen to the how they intend to achieve that thing, it doesn't hold water. Number three, they see problems as challenges they can overcome. They see problems as challenges that they can overcome. Number four, they create opportunities. They create opportunities. Number five, they invest in self-development. Six, they are doers, not talkers. They are doers, not talkers. They back up their great plans with action. They implement their strategies. Number seven, they use their time wisely. They use their time wisely. Number eight, they are diligent. They are diligent. They give attention to detail. They believe in excellence and they ensure that things are done well. Number nine, they are lifelong dreamers. Even at as they advance in age, the same way they, you know, are there in their twenties, in their thirties, that they always kept on aspiring for, you know, something unique, something outstanding, something to solve the problem of the day, is the same way at 50, at 60, at 70, they still, they are still bubbling with such, with such energy and drive to do something that stands out. Number 10, they are resolute and resilient. They are resolute. They are resilient. And that is why they can lose three times and win the fourth time. And that is why they can fail five times and eventually succeed at the sixth time. They are resolute. They are resilient. Number 11, they always go the extra mile. They always go the extra mile. And number 12, they focus on their priorities. They focus on their priorities. They focus on their priorities.

There will be a time in your life when people are not seeing you. If if a particular thing is going to be achieved in your life, at that prior to that time, one of the things that could happen is that people will start complaining that they are no longer seeing you. Why? Some steps you will need to take to focus on what needs to be achieved will take you out of a lot of activities that you were previously exposed to. The time you had to relate, you know, with people will be reduced because you are now focused on a particular thing that must be achieved at a particular time.

I perceive, I perceive that within the next 15 months, this last quarter of the year and the 12 months of 2022, someone here will be sitting on the throne like the throne of Joseph. You are rising to a breakthrough level of your life and destiny. Can that man stand up and say a better amen? Can that sister, mother, stand and say a better amen? God is going to back up your strategic efforts and raise you to that breakthrough point in the name of Jesus.
