Maybe your teachers labeled or cursed you, or maybe your friends and family did. Joseph’s brothers cursed him, in fact they dropped him down a well to die! They wanted to get rid of him, but it didn’t matter what they thought, because God had another plan. Stay inspired and in faith, trusting that just as God had good plans in store for Joseph, He has good plans for your life as well!
Jesus says to His followers, “I will work through you.” The disciples were looking to Him to be the one to do the works, but He was looking to them. It was hard for His disciples to understand that they would be His voice, His hands and His feet. Their eyes were on the future, but Jesus empowered them, AND US, for the present!
God doesn’t change, but OUR perspective of His ability and His bigness does. The size of a person’s God is reflected in the types of prayers he prays. Our prayers are more a reflection of our condition than of God’s ability. The only way to get a bigger God is see through His eyes!
Embarking on a new opportunity may feel like navigating a challenging mountain slope. It’s worth the climb, but it will take concentrated effort to enjoy the journey. Today, are you willing to stretch beyond your comfort zone? Will you take a hike up a different side of the mountain? You may discover a new exposure that lies just ahead of you!
When the twelve spies came back from the Promised Land, ten of them couldn’t conceive themselves winning in a battle with the giants, because they saw themselves as grasshoppers. God was for them, but they were against themselves. Start agreeing with God and see yourself achieving the impossible!
God tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that He gives seed to the sower. What seed from God do you have that you can sow? God has given ideas and concepts to you about who He says you are, what you have been given in Christ, and what you can do. These are key seeds that you have the opportunity to sow to experience the results you want in your life!
Believe in yourself! You can’t be truly effective in the world until you gain an understanding of how much God loves and values you. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that in God’s eyes you are a winner and an overcomer. Not because of any abilities or skills on your part, but because when you accepted Christ, He came to live in you and brought all of His love and ability with Him!
The most influential voice in your life is the one on the inside of you. It either affirms that you can do great things in life, or it whines that you’re in one way or another a victim of circumstance. It continually echoes whatever has been fed into your life, which is why it’s so important to feed on the truth of God’s Word!
Those things that have limited you in your body, your background or your relationships may have made you believe that your future is limited. But I want you to know that God’s Word is absolutely true, so if Jesus is your Lord, the reality is that your future has NO LIMITS!
First Peter 1:23 tells us that the seed of God, His Word, is incorruptible. So we can have confidence and expectation that when we hear the Word of God and it lands in the soil of our heart, something good is going to come forth from it! Since God’s Word is incorruptible, it cannot be changed and is a force that has the ability to transform our lives!
