From Crossover to Takeover: Occupying Your Promised Land by Apostle Otis B. Young on Jan. 4, 2026
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this foundational teaching for the new year, Apostle Otis B. Young outlines a shift from defense to offense. Using the imagery of a football team "moving the chain," he explains that God is calling His people to dominate the seven mountains of culture—from business and education to the marketplace.
However, a takeover requires more than just a desire for more; it requires a refinement of our internal structures and an unwavering commitment to following divine instructions. Through the cautionary tale of Moses and Aaron, we learn that while God’s promises are sure, our entrance into them depends on our trust and obedience during the pressure of the press.
-- To take over means assuming control and becoming dominant in your field, whether in business, education, or the arts.
-- Moving the chain forward requires evaluating your "system operations"—getting up earlier, prepping your spirit, and staying in alignment with God’s structure.
-- Obedience is the key to the takeover; delayed obedience or adding to God's instructions can lead to consequences that delay your possession of the promise.
-- Stop reacting to the "hard-headed" situations around you; learn to speak to your "rock" rather than striking it in frustration.
-- This is the year where "everybody wins" for those in right alignment, as God goes before you to destroy enemies and clear the path to your victory.
