You are welcome back to our discussion on how to increase your value as an individual. So far, I have laid a foundation on some major themes of value that we need to understand. Today by His grace, I’ll begin to share with you the specific ways in which we can increase our value. Yes, there are specific means by which we can increase our level of usefulness. So without much ado, let us examine them right away.

Ways to increasing your value:

  1. By adding more value. This simply means becoming of a greater blessing than whatsoever you may be doing now. Everyone is at a particular level of usefulness now but you can step it up. You can do more. You can step up your game. You can raise the bar if you want to. When you take such steps, you would have succeeded in increasing your value. So, my admonition to you today is to make up your mind that you will start adding more value:
    – Right where you are (Acts 1v8)
    – Wherever you go. Like Joseph did in Potiphar’s house, prison, and before Pharaoh
    – In whatever you do. Like David did in (1Sam.18v5, 13-14, 30).

Make that decision today and back it up with action. You will notice that your degree of usefulness will certainly go up. Don’t stop adding value even if you don’t see immediate results. I can guarantee that you will reap in due season if you faint not. I want you to know that a value-added life is more productive and fruitful than a worthless and idle life.

So, in what precise ways can you add more value? You can add more value by:

  • Making greater impact wherever you are or wherever you go. Thank God for the impact you have now but it’s time to start making a greater impact. Will you take up this challenge?
  • Becoming a greater blessing. You can have the capacity to become a greater blessing, but you need to put it to use in order for it to be manifested. So, begin to ask yourself from now, “in what ways can I become a greater blessing with what I do and where I am today?” I can guarantee you that ideas and insights will surely come to you. Now, rise up and begin to implement it.
  • Becoming a greater contributor than you are now. In what ways are you contributing your quota right where you are now? Also, start thinking of better ways in which you can contribute more. As you do this, your value will begin to rise.

Precious child of God, may today usher you into the beginning of adding greater value wherever you are. I can see things turning around for your good in Jesus name, amen.
