If you get into a boat and just sit there on the river, you’re going to go wherever the current takes you. But if you want to go somewhere new and different, you have to put the paddle in the water and go against the flow!
My friend, your future is in your hands. God has already cast His vote for you. He paid for it all. He believes in you, and when you are born again He comes to live IN you to see your miracle come to pass. He had a plan and picture of your destiny from the foundation of the earth. Your faith decision mixed with His wonderful, unmerited, undeserved favor will bring it to pass. It’s NOT based on what life throws at you, and THE DEVIL CANNOT STOP YOU!
When we know who Jesus is, we know who we are. And when we know who we are, we know what we can do. This is why mountains, obstacles, troubles, and anything else that keeps us from being the best that God made us to be can be removed when we speak!
In the midst of your busy life, take moments that minister to your heart and your spirit. Maybe it’s gazing at a special picture, taking a walk on the beach, or just looking upwards at the sky. Special moments of inspiration and refreshing come when we stop and turn our attention to the beautiful landscapes of life!
Why would Jesus Christ die on the cross and take my sin if He didn’t have a plan for my success? Everybody should be planning for success, because the One who lives in you by His Spirit has defeated your enemy!
In Jeremiah 29:11 God says that He has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you. Expect it! Plan for it! Dream it! Say it! Believe it and it will unfold before you!
A ship that remains tied to the dock will eventually be overrun with barnacles and dry rot, a plane that sits idle in the hangar will grow brittle, moldy and its engine will cease to function, and a person without a purpose greater than themselves will weaken in resolve and retire in heart. We must not shrink from the opportunities before us!
What will you do with the gifts of God you have been given? Dedication to the Lord is that step where we devote ourselves to both the will and the way of God. Remember, talent is cheap but dedication is costly!
The most influential voice in your life is the one on the inside of you. It either tells you that you can do great things in life, or it says that you’re in one way or another a victim of circumstance. It speaks whatever has been fed into your life, which is why it’s so important to feed on 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 to let you know that if Jesus is your Lord, your future has NO LIMITS!
