Some people were chosen to attract the attention of the public.
They cannot hide from the responsibility, hard as they try. I know. I’ve been there.
But maybe you too have found yourself in that position.
Right from childhood, The Universe has sent you clues – through people, circumstances and undoubtable synchronicities.
It is destiny.
It is an aura that cannot be purchased with mere currency.
For that reason, it is as much a ‘testimony’ as it is a ‘prayer point’.
You will be favored among your peers, sure.
But you will be a target for envy, manipulation and sabotage.
Therefore your star power is an energy whose origins, nature and dynamics you must understand and then learn to harness as early as possible.
Inasmuch as it comes with its benefits, you just learn (and adhere to) its responsibilities, taboos and code of honour.
This is more spiritual than physical.
You see, the gods, angels, deities (or whatever you might call them) in all their splendor are often restricted to their realm of existence, unable to exist in and directly affect ours.
The Kingdom of Man remains the domain of man. The gods can only watch, not participate.
And so, they throw in support for their human candidate and imbue them with special cosmic (or spiritual) gifts that ordinarily ought to be divine attributes.
They hope that this candidate would become/do on earth what they can’t, while they watch.

Celebrity Energy
==========
Some people are born with higher levels of cosmic magnetism because the gods understand they would be able to draw attention easily as humans are easily influenced by perceivable energy – beauty/aesthetics, oratory, wit, athletic talent, etc.
This ‘halo effect’ adds a perceived premium on whatever these people say.
These people are chosen to effect a special change on earth.
They were chosen to affect the way people think and to effect culture shifts to varying degrees.
They would make great religious leaders, politicians, public speakers, teachers, musicians, actors, writers, media personalities, etc.
Their slightest deeds draw the wonder of the masses.
They are naturally celebrated (hence the word, celebrity).
However, destiny is not destination.
Destiny loosely refers to life path, and not everyone on a path progresses as swiftly as they ought to.
Some are born to the worst parents or into the wrong geography.
Some are born in the wrong time period in history or with certain defects that hinder their capacity to express the full extent of their divine light.
For those who escape all these hurdles and make it to earth in at least modest situations, there’s the human element of sabotage to worry about.
That’s the focus right now.
People with celebrity energy tend to draw envy from their environment during their formative years, and due to their magnetism, require above average protection from abusers and predators.
Those on the celebrity frequency are often targets for destiny switching attacks as well.
I know you’re curious about this part but I will explain at Night School.
And I apologize in advance for the dark nature of what I’m about to add, but dark entities also take a keen interest in scuttling the destiny of chosen ones.
More on that later, let us stick to the human element.
Nothing diminishes your human potential than the effects of fellow humans.

The Laban-Abraham archetypes
===========
I’m borrowing here from the Old Testament stories of Laban and Abraham.
In summary, Laban was charged with providing safety to a young Jacob who fled his home in fear of revenge by his brother, Esau.
Jacob had stolen Esau’s birthright and blessing, and so he ran to his uncle, Laban, for safety.
Laban knew that Jacob was blessed and chosen, but didn’t say this to Jacob.
Instead, he used Jacob’s spiritual gifts to enrich himself and his own family, without commensurate payment.
He kept on cheating him until Jacob eventually got fed up and ran away.
You know how the story progressed from there.
=======
Abraham
=======
Abraham was cut from a different cloth. His archetype is one that those who wish to learn abundance from the Bible ought to study.
When he was leaving his father’s house to embark on his mission, he carried along his young nephew, Lot.
And as Abraham prospered, Lot prospered as well.
At a point, their individual net worths were almost equal, and Abraham never felt threatened by it. It was all a win to him.
Instead, after their split, Abraham kept praying for Lot and interceded for him when he learned that God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.
=======
Lessons
=======
In your journey, your star power will ensure you cross paths with more Labans than Abrahams, especially in competitive cities like Lagos and Abuja (if you’re in Nigeria). You can substitute these for the competitive cities in your own country.
When I posted on Facebook, “Be careful when someone else sees your gift before you”, I was talking about the Labans of this world.
Their instinct is to take advantage and make it look like they are doing you a favor.
You must learn to unmask them and maneuver around them.
The Abrahams exist but are rare. So rare that you could live your whole lifetime without crossing life paths with one.
If you encounter one, honor them profusely. And if you do not meet one, it’s fine. Become one.
Abrahams see your rising star and their instinct is to contribute.
They see in you what you don’t yet see in yourself and they contribute their resources to helping you grow with no thought or concern about being outshone.
Talk Soon,
