S4 Ep. 247 The Divine Breath Within: Finding Your Unique Purpose

Speaker 1: Hello there, welcome to the World Cafe podcast. This podcast has been designed with created content that centers on the power of words. Can we really do anything without speaking? Can we really do anything without the agency of words? Yes, that is what this podcast is all about, and I am your host , amakri Isuboye, your neighborhood word trader. I believe in the power of words , for it is the unit of creation . I trade in words to profit my world. Ah, good morning, good afternoon , good evening, good everything. How are you, wherever you are at this particular moment on the surface of the earth, listening ? I am super excited coming to you via this medium again. Yes, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good where I am, and it's super exciting for me. I always say it, not because it's a cliche, but honestly it is for me, you know, each time I come into this space and I just feel that bust of energy. Knowing that you're there listening gives me, gives me that deep satisfaction, honestly . So, how are you? I'm fine, I'm fine where I am are, yes, privileged? I am privileged, working the earth at this particular instant , experiencing should should I say life, and also wielding it to my advantage. Yes, this is the safe space. You know where we come into lean on one another's experience and forge a positive path. Yep, so I've been thinking for a while, you know. So I've been thinking for a while, you know. Let me tell you how it works for me when I pick up a thought, like a signal or something, process it and turn over it and I dwell on it for a while and I like, okay, is it worth sharing with my audience? Or I look for that individual male or female, as a case may be who fits this profile and it's like, okay, let me bring them on the show and let's have this conversation, or I just go ahead and share based on my experience Now, it's not like I don't do one or two research here and there, but I always tell you, giving a textbook answer for me is not the best. You know, even if you have a textbook answer, that you've gone out there and you have this experience, I think it goes a long way in expressing your thought, and that's how it works for me. So the other day I was just going through something. Yes, today I want to talk about something we all have, in my opinion, an equal amount, but what we do with it speaks volume . I guess you're thinking it's time. No, it's not time. It's not time. It's not time now. The breath in our nostrils, the breath that we have in us and today I want to say your breath is the validation you need. So something happened in 2020. You know, for me, 2017, 18, 19, these years were years of learning. It's not as if I've stopped learning now, but things happened, and a lot, a lot. So I had to go back to learn and I did write my first book, a Cocktail of Words. I talk about it every time I have the opportunity to. I did write that book sometime within. I think I did that work in 2020 . Yes, not I think I that work in 2020. Yes, but I think I know 2020. You know the COVID year and all of that and the publishing to call Photos of you have been following. It's been there. But I must tell you, I must tell you something happened and I wrote it down. But before I tell you what I wrote down, the observation is this Everybody who walks the earth somehow seeks a form of validation. We all look for this validity to what we do. Somehow we look to people, somehow we look to people or we look to actions. Some of us, the validity we have, that gives us this burst of energy to do things, is maybe our pedigree Pedigree in terms of where, as in our background, family background. You know somebody like says I am a Kennedy, like you know part of the JF Kennedy family, so it gives you the validity, so to say, someone will tell you I am an American. Maybe where you're from, so to say, gives you this validity to do what you do, to do what you do. So we all seek one form of validity or the other to what we do, to our purpose. Some of us it has to do with people, persons who you are affiliated to X, y, z, so it gives you this form of a sense of security, you would want to call it a backing. So it's like you go out there knowing that you are associated, you are affiliated, you know this person and all of that. So my experience, as when I wrote my book, my first book, a Cocktail of Words, and we, myself and my wife my greatest fan, I must say we started a lunch here. We started from Abuja, we went to Pothakot. Pothakot, for me, is home. Pothakot is a capital city of a river state in Nigeria, a river state in nigeria, and uh, so on our way to puth hakat, at the airport from abuja to puth hakat . So I was just processing the thought, looking at you you've written a book and are now you are launching it, sharing it with the world. And it's like that thought came . Who authorized you? Who gave you that, would I say, courage to do this? And I sat down there in the quietness of you know, that moment, and I put down this thought. You know, I said from nothing to something, from here to there , from impossibilities to possibilities, from pain to gain , from minion to dominion, the validation you need to become is the breath in your nostrils, yes, the life God has given, and this he has given abundantly, for that is the license we all need in exercising divinity on the side of eternity. I wrote that down like I think that was sometime in 2016, april 16th, sorry, 2021, I beg your pardon April 16th, 2021. I wrote it down. I even put it up on my Facebook . So the other day it came back to me and I said I have to share this with us. What is the validity? What drives you? What is that validity you're waiting for you? What is that validity you're waiting for. You know, when I read that again , my mind went straight to that scripture. Yes, it went to that scripture where, somewhere in Job that speaks of the breath, there is a breath and that breath comes from Jehovah. He breathes into us. It is our inspiration. Now, man yes, as we know from creation story, man is a spirit who dwells in a body that has a soul. A lot has to do with because we are in this body our biology, physiology, cardiovascular system, our central nervous system, and we think that is us, we think that is us. These are systems which, in my opinion, support our work here on this side of eternity. But there's something that animates all of this system. Permit me for the lack of better expression using the word something. It is not a thing, it's beyond a thing. It's beyond a thing. It is the breath of God. It animates our being and that breath is what, in my opinion, drives us. The authority to walk planet earth and do what you do, or do what, or to do what you should do, is beyond your race, color of skin, beyond your ethnicity, beyond your tribe. It is all about the breath in you and, like I said, we all have it in equal amount In equal amount. That is what drives us and if you look at it, you know we breathe in and out. See, don't get me wrong, it is beyond exercising, it's beyond the breath control, exercise and all of that. No, life begins from the inside , from within, and the future that we all desire, that we all seek, that we all yearn for is not out there, it's in here, within us, the breath we have. So it is our recognizing, or our recognition of this that indeed gives us the validity more or less like validates, yes , that thing. So I'm not saying association doesn't matter, the people you meet, I'm not saying that. Don't'm not saying that, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong . These things do matter. They do, yes, but the degree to how they matter depends on the breath in you. You have come to discover that breath and you embrace it Because you just know Within your knower, this is God. This is why I'm here, this is why I've been created, because, come to think of it, the minute the breath leaves our body, our system, the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the breath leaves our body, our system, the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and all of that we call that thing lying down there, a carcass. So when breath leaves us, it is like purpose on the side is done. So life is expressed through our breath, our understanding, and you know I think I've said it before on the show on the side, life is what is given to us to express purpose, just like he said to Jeremiah. For those of us, yes, in scriptures, when you read somewhere in the book of Jeremiah, he said before I formed you, I knew you. He said also somewhere he said before I was formed in my mother's womb, you knew my days. You had I mean, you have put it there and the best way to express it, like I said, you know from the book a breath, you know in man. Let me say it as it is, for there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. But it is the spirit in man, you know, take it again but it is a spirit in man, the breath of the almighty that makes him understand. But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the almighty within them that makes them intelligent. So that intelligence, not the artificial intelligence but the alpha intelligence that we display, you know, it's from Jehovah, it's from him, it's within us and as we draw breath Regularly from him, it is like Not, it is like it is. There's this illumination that comes and we come to know and we come to see, have this understanding, and we begin to express this level of intelligence solving problems upon the earth. But it stems from what? The breath within us. So that is the validity. Yeah, that's the validity. Some of us seek validation in the wrong things. Yeah, we seek validation. We seek validation in this, in that, in people and all of that. But the truth is, the validity we need all out of the validation we need is the breath within us. As human beings, you recognize that this breath you have is divine. It's more than just the oxygen. It's far beyond the oxygen. What you take in and what you breathe out, as we want to call it the chemical oxygen, it's beyond that. Oxygen might just be a representation of that. It's beyond the central nervous system, my beg your pardon. It's beyond the cardiovascular nervous system. Nervous system, I beg your pardon, is beyond the cardiovascular. It is divinity expressed in us and that is why, in my opinion, there is so much attack on our breath. Yes, so that's what I came to share with you today. You know, that's what I came. Maybe you have been looking at yourself. You've been looking at, you know Everything happening around you and you think there's nothing good, nothing and all that. No, there's something within you Is called Breath of God. Yes, when you recognize this, this, when you come to embrace it, there's going to be this unleashing of divine intelligence. I call it alpha intelligence to that which you have been created for, to that which you have been created for, to that which you have been called for. Yes, because each and everyone who walks the earth, the breath you have is like unique, codified specifically for you. You know, in addressing the issues on the earth, yes, so you , expressing them in that unique form, is different from the next person. And sometimes we look at what other people are doing and we think, wow, that person is doing something excellent, something exciting. I like to, I like to, I like to do that thing too. Oh, no, the person's breath is different from your breath. Ah, yes, so what do you mean by that? The person's purpose is different from your purpose. Yeah, the person's purpose is different from your purpose. We have come to for those of us who studied science in school, and all of that, when you come to look at our dna, when you come to look at our fingerprints , eight billion plus people on the earth none, none, none have the same fingerprints. Even your palms, if you take your right and your left, they are not the same. They are not the same. They speak to that beautiful design, they speak to that unique intelligence, they speak to that alpha intelligence within you. So when you embrace it and you begin to express it, you see that the uniqueness is phenomenal because we all express this unique, unique power, abilities, unique breath, that when this uniqueness all come together, they come to form this amazing collage. And you know, when we see it, the only way to express it is that there is God somewhere. So you know, when I realized that, when I realized that that the breath I have in me is a validation I need to do to live, to walk the earth, I put my whole being in it. Yes, sometimes it can be discouraging, like you think nothing is happening. All of your effort and all of that. But oh no, oh no, I get back up because I have the breath of divinity in me. I mean, it is flowing in me, literally flowing. His breath is in me, just like saying I carry the. I carry a piece, if there's, if I'm permitted to use that a piece of divinity. So I am an extension of divinity. So every day I engage with divinity within me, the breath within me, to understand the expressions. How is it going? How is it going? And you know what? About breath? The breath we have in us? You know what, the more we come to appreciate and understand divinity in us, it is like an endless combination of possibilities. There's this expansion. It keeps expanding. It knows no end. Yes, hello, guys, the intelligence we need in solving life's problems, the intelligence we need in addressing the humongous challenges before us, is deep within our being, our core, and that is a breath within us. So that is what I came to share with you on the show today. So when you go out there, don't get discouraged, don't be. Look at yourself. You have the breath of divinity . Reach out, touch it, engage, and you'll be amazed what you will express to your world. All right, guys, this is what I just came over to share with you. So in that thing you're doing you are good at it don't give up . Engage. You see, you may say I mean, I've not discovered. It is within. Reach out, you will discover it and within that, you will see that dominion and you will begin to like exact yourself in the right way. All right, guys, you know how we do it on the show.
