It
is officially the beginning of a New Year in my house! All the Christmas decorations have been
neatly packed away for a long nap………..
What a task!
I
want to know Him more in 2013! I want to
see miracles and the supernatural this year. I want to see the amazing this
year in ministry!
How
many times do we find ourselves comparing who we are with other's in the
ministry? How many times do we allow the
enemy to convince us that the sermon we preached was a BIG zero? How many times do we find ourselves thinking
that we just don’t measure up to others around us who are successful in
ministry? Those are thoughts from none
other than our big ugly enemy who is a liar and master of deception! It is cool to be who God created you to be
because His fingerprints are on your life.
God has chosen us to be vessels of the Word in a dying world.
God’s
plan for all of us is magnificent and unbelievable! His power and anointing is all around us but
sometimes we fail to tap into those resources.
Intimidation and insecurity are real and if we are honest with ourselves
we would admit that both of these tools from the enemy invade our lives
often. The enemy will do anything to
keep us from achieving all that God has for us.
Each
of us has dreams that have been engraved on our hearts by God. If we feel limited in our walk with Christ we
are limiting Him to achieve those dreams.
Are
there others who can preach better, sing better and teach better than we
can? Absolutely but that doesn't mean we
refuse to pursue God’s plan for our lives. God specifically designed a plan for your life. He has called you to do things for the
Kingdom that no one else can do. Friends
that is an awesome challenge!
Psalm
125:1 tells us that those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. We must
trust God in 2013 because He never changes.
He cannot be shaken by the changes in our world, and he endures
forever.
Do we need help achieving the plan God has for
our lives? Absolutely! I lift up my eyes to the hills; where does my
help come from? My help comes from the
Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121: 1-2 NIV).
Don’t
buy into the deception of the enemy.
Hang on tight to God’s promises.
He will never fail us and if He has called you He will equip you to
accomplish great things for Him! Don’t try to be a carbon copy of someone
else’s ministry. Pursue God and allow
Him to do a great work in YOU. When we fully submit our lives onto our Heavenly
Father it is amazing what He will do!
Have
a blessed week and a powerful Sunday.
