2020 has solidified my belief that I am nothing without God. Nothing.
‘Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.’ - Galatians 1:10
By man’s standard, you may be successful. By God’s standard, you may have not yet scratched the surface. Be sure not to pour your life into dead works.
“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” - Colossians 3:13-14 NLT
“There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.” - James 2:13 NLT
God wants to use you, but you’re unavailable. God wants to deliver good gifts to you, but you’ve put a “Do Not Disturb” sign at your door. Reassess the posture of your heart. Ensure that you are not your own enemy.
When you pray for yourself, and for others, pray that the change will be from the inside, out. The root is the real issue, not the fruit. When we ignore the heart, and attack the behaviour, we end up in a never-ending, futile cycle.
Anything that tries to come between you, and God, MUST be thrown overboard. Make no room for distractions. Times too serious bredda !
“How can I walk in freedom, when I have not chosen to walk in forgiveness?” - @stevenfurtick
“How can I expect God to bless me with success, when I don’t have a standard of excellence.” -@stevenfurtick
Here’s the problem..... Our generation is way more concerned about the quality of a picture, than we are about our quality of life. Idolatry is what it is, and it robs us of experiencing the goodness of God.
There comes a time when you must ask yourself this question, “Am I willing to dim my light, because someone else doesn’t like it’s brightness?” Life is just too short, for you not to walk in the fullness of God’s plan for you.
“Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring.” - Proverbs 27:1
Don’t give up on the promise because you’ve encountered difficulty. Don’t give up on God because you’re being pressed. Surely, you are further than you were before, and you’ll go even further ! Gods never lies. God never fails !
Sometimes our breakthrough is tied to a simple God-given instruction. Other times, our breakthrough is birthed through consistency. Then there are those times, when our breakthrough is hinged on a miracle. Discern God’s mode of operation in this season !
“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” - Hebrews 12:11
I choose to surrender to God’s wisdom today, so I won’t have to live in regret tomorrow!
Stepping out of the box is uncomfortable but incredibly rewarding. Accept no limitations or labels that have not been ordained by God !
