In this week's episode we looked at the story of Joseph and how his gift landed him in a lot of trouble. Genesis 37:5 says " And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."

It is evident that Joseph was not liked by his brothers. In fact the hatred they had for Joseph fueled their actions to throw him in a pit, but that was the route the Lord intended for him. After many ordeals, Joseph still managed to forgive his brothers. This echoes the act of forgiveness throughout this week's podcast. Although forgiveness is not an easy feat, it is definitely required so that we do not delay our own progress. Forgiveness was never meant for the other party(ies). It is always for the one who is on the other side of the hurt, the ordeal, the offense.

Answering the call of greatness will always cost you something. We will have to go against the status quo and employ discipline in the face of adversities. The person who is called to greatness has to be careful not to indulge in what everyone else is indulging in. The call of greatness require consecration and discipline. In this week's episode we looked at a few people who were called to greatness from the Bible; Daniel and Esther. Though Daniel was not raised in a palace, his gifts brought him favour and in the place of royalty but this did not change Daniel's character, discipline or reverence for God. He stood firm in what and WHO he believed in. This small act of obedience allowed for Daniel to be chosen above all the other boys who were indulging in that which could not sustain them. We also looked at Esther, a class act and heroine in the Bible. Even though Esther was beautiful and classy, it is safe to say that she was also a warrior in the Spirit. She didn't allow her beauty and charm to get in the way of her purpose and destiny. When she learned of the impending danger of her people, she fought back with strategic fasting and prayer, which propelled her to face the king without an appointment. The life of these people truly serve as encouragement for us today. We too can employ similar discipline and courage. I hope this week's episode is a blessing to you. And if it has been, please do not hesitate to share with a friend so they too can be blessed. Also, be sure to subscribe and like the podcast.

We serve a God who does all things new. When He calls you, He will always give you a new identity. He is a God who upgrades us! Isaiah 43:18-19 admonishes us to unshackle ourselves from the the past and to look ahead for what God is about to unleash. In this week's episode we looked at people like Gideon, who asked the angel for a sign of confirmation that the Lord has indeed chosen him to deliver Israel in battle and Zechariah the Priest who, conversely, allowed doubt to get in the way of the Genesis of his promise. But the Lord is so gracious that He still fulfilled His promises to Zechariah. It is important that we do not disqualify ourselves from greatness because of its magnitude or even perceived inadequacies, but to lean into that which seem GRAND and impossible to achieve because it is God will bring it to pass. We emphasized that those called to be great will naturally carry a burden for something. And we closed on the question of ' What do you carry a burden for?' As you listen, I hope you are refueled and encouraged. Feel free to like, and follow the podcast. Be a blessing to someone this week by sharing the link and have them listen too.

The call to be great was extended to us from our very inception. Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham, was the Father of many nations. The Lord had made a covenant with Abraham. This covenant was not a sole promise but had different levels on which the Lord would make him GREAT. He was selected to be the father of generations to come. If there was going to be a generation with a new identity and purpose that would capture the revelation of the GREATNESS within them, it would be the generation that comes from Abraham's lineage, of which we are a part. In this week's episode, we looked at the call to be great and mentioned that it is not a prideful nor highfalutin thought to answer the call of greatness that was extended to us. As you listen, I pray it will be a blessing to you. Feel free to share and follow to the Polymath Podcast for more insightful and life changing episodes.

Many people today are living a lesser life- a life that God did not plan for them to live. This can be as a result of laziness, ignorance or the works of wickedness. The enemy has always been trying to hijack our future to keep us from becoming who God has ordained us to be. If we are ever going to live the life God has ordained for us we will have to protect our MINDS at all cost. A practical way to do so is declare the word of God over yourself each day. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit, a very important part of the whole armour of God. This week we looked at the importance of declaring the word of God over ourselves as well as protecting our spiritual gates that the enemy would want to enter through. Therefore we will have to pay closer attention to the THOUGHTS that circulate through our mind. We will not allow the voice of the enemy to live rent-free in our minds because our thoughts become actions and our actions determine our destiny. As you tune in and listen, I hope this episode will be a blessing to you. Feel free to share and get someone in on this podcast too. Until next time, this is the Polymath Podcast with Ms Neisha.

In the process of answering the call to greatness, we will need a strong and godly support system. We all need people who are honest, loyal and as driven as we are. We need people around us who are committed and can hold us accountable. But did you know that there is a difference between those who offer constructive criticism and those whose assignment is to kill your dreams? In this week's episode we looked at the difference between the two and the importance of identifying one from the other. Join in and listen to this fruitful discussion taken from the manuscript "Preserving Greatness, Stewarding Purpose: A Daily Propulsion Towards Intentional Living."

We live in a world were the struggles of life can easily cause us to give up or focus on what others are doing while ignoring what God has placed in our hands for us to steward. In this week's episode, we looked at the topic "What is in your hands?" A very reflective moment for our listeners to zoom in on themselves and identify that which is in their hands. God can only use what is in our hands, not what is in someone else's hand. You may be going through a financial crisis like the widow in 2 Kings 4 or you may be timid like the servant who received the 1 talent in Matt 25. You may even find yourself crying out to God as the people you're leading are crying out to you as seen in Exodus 4, 14. Wherever you find yourself on the spectrum, know that what you are looking to God for is already in your hands you only need to identify it. Take some time today to do some Introspection. Pray and ask the Lord to show you the gifts, talents, or skills He has placed in your hands. I believe as you do so, that the Lord will show you and you will be able to take the leap of faith to use that which is in your hands to bring glory to His name. This is the Polymath Podcast with Ms Neisha. Be blessed!

What are the gifts, talents and skills that God has entrusted you with? Have you been able to identify them? If so, how have you been managing them to bring God glory? How have you been managing your time? Have you been using your time to fulfill the needs of your boss, family or friends while ignoring the gifts and talents that God has given to you?

Do a self evaluation.
