"Ẹni bá ńjẹ làbẹ́ Jẹ́gẹ́dẹ́ ló ńpèé nígi Àràbà " It's one who profits from a man who hails him as the silk cotton tree; The silk cotton is mighty.  An essential trait of personal priesthood is to add value. That means you enhance other people's lives in some shape or form. It could be your knowledge, your approach to problem-solving or your supportive nature. In either case,  one way you'll know you're being effective is that the people you serve will start to profit financially. 

In my own experience with individuals and organizations alike, personal priesthood activates financial growth. And so, the people I serve tend to acquire homes, grow their businesses and become money magnets. This is the case, not because I focus on getting money, but - by the grace of Olodumare - I help them to hone their natural gifts and talents in ways that are consistent with their ancestry and contemporary reality. With the guidance and support of Orunmila and the ancestors, the people I serve become more assertive towards expressing their divine missions. At the same time, they become more open and receptive to their unique contributions. The combination enables them to attract exactly the kinds of opportunities that will support financial growth and prosperity. 

As you perfect your personal priesthood, you will add value to the lives of those you serve in your own, unique way. It is important, however, to note that some people will recognize your contribution and others will not. In my experience as a facilitator, it is important that my people feel a sense of ownership. So, they tend to take credit for the work they have done, as well as the ways in which it benefits them. I am content with that. Ultimately, it is empowering for people to own their progress. But in order for YOU to master the art of personal priesthood, what is most important is that:
  1. You must know how your magic works for others.
  2. You must set the stage for your natural gifts and talents to add value to the lives of the people you're destined to serve.
  3. You must acknowledge and measure the impacts of your contribution, even if you do not intend to draw attention to it.
  4. You must give thanks - through continuous acceptance of, and devotion to your personal priesthood - to Olodumare for blessing you with the opportunity to serve.
And so, personal priesthood may not enrich you directly. But it should definitely be characterized by your ability to enrich the people you are destined to serve. Learn more in my new course, the 16 Essential Traits of Personal Priesthood.
