Unworthy

|

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”.

God can always still use you the way you are. Sometimes we feel that we have to have it all together in order to come to him. We are constantly internally reminded of our shortcomings and weaknesses. We are also reminded on the excuses reasons of why we cannot be used. The great thing about God is that his love is eternal. There are no conditions nor limitations that is placed on his love. He knew who you were before you formed in your mother’s womb. He already knew your weakness. But his power is made great in weakness. His love is greater than your weakness or any feeling of unworthiness. There is a reason why he chose you to get the tasks done. It’s more amazing when someone has forms of limitations, but still complete the tasks that are necessary. Don’t ignore his voice, hearken unto him. Allow him to work on you as the way you are. You are not alone or in it by yourself. Unworthiness can block you from so many blessings that God has in store. Despite what you may have done or what other have people done to you, does not negate the truth that God stills loves you and has plans for you. Don’t allow any wall of anger or guilt to separate or stand in the way of pursing a relationship with God. He’s bigger than all of your issues. Again, you are the perfect one for him to use. See yourself the way that he sees you.

It is written in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.

More than Enough

|

You are more than enough. There is nothing that you need to change about who you are. Grow to love yourself the way that God does. If you have been beaten down from the words of other people all of your life, then it is easy to feel < instead of >. If people have under estimated you and counted you out, again you are tempted to feel less than. There are some people who did their best in everything they knew, but it still wasn’t enough. Rejection can also take a toll on how you see yourself. It’s important to know that you are more than enough :). No one can place a label on you but God. No one can know your full potential and all that you have to offer but God. Don’t give people no power to determine what or who you are. It’s easier spoken than said however, with God’s power you can do anything! Don’t count yourself out, because God hasn’t. He will prepare a table in front of your enemies. No need to explain or prove anything to anyone. You have a job to do here on this earth before you perish. The higher his expectations are, the higher the level of responsibility and discipline that is required.

It is written in Luke 12:48  For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:

You are not a burden or any other name that anyone has spoken about you. You are a child of God, and you are more than enough! Be strong and courageous ♥.

This is Only the Beginning: Be Encouraged

|

a-new-day-1542580

Always believe that the best is always yet to come. There will be so many open doors in your journey. Fret not about what hasn’t worked out, for when the time comes, it will all come together. It shall come to full circle. None of your experiences shall go to waste. God is always in the control, which means nothing does not happen without his permission. He is all-knowing. Only he holds the key to the door of your future. No matter how powerful someone’s ranking, authority and title, remember that everything comes from God. He is the door and the manna. That means all opportunities and blessings are from him no matter whom he may use. When you feel that no one will give you a fair chance, please remember that God is the source, so there is no need to be discouraged. All credit and glory shall go to him and no other. No matter what trials you may endure there is better along the way. You are not a failure because you failed in some way (as we all do time to time). Closed doors are just as important as open doors. Come now and rejoice, for this is only the beginning of the great things to come! Be not discouraged, for there are so many people who will be reached through the power of your testimony ♥

Don’t Feel Pressured

|

under-pressure-1424631

Pressure is the use of persuasion, influence, or intimidation to make someone do something. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to wait upon the Lord, but it is also one of the most important things to do (especially when you have done all you can). Don’t feel pressured to move fast because of your outside surroundings and environment. It’s not about the swiftest or fastest who wins the race, but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Only move when he has called you to move. Don’t just do something out of your flesh or emotion because that’s what most people are doing. Don’t feel forced to be in a situation, relationship, job, or place when it’s not your timing. 

All pressure is not bad pressure. As matter of fact, some pressure has the potential to bring out your greatness. Some pressure can even be used as a motivator however, there are some things that we must wait on. Waiting is not easy nor comfortable to do, but it’s necessary to receive something greater, than if you would have rushed. His timing is perfect. The place and position he wants to place you in, is greater than the plans you had for yourself. It’s O.K.to not be satisfied in where you are currently at (that’s a good thing). Allow yourself to operate in his plans, his way. Remember when you feel discouraged, don’t feel pressured. Be anxious for nothing! Walking a narrow path may not be easy, but in due season your sufferings and afflictions will produce fruitful results and a bigger harvest along the way. It’s no pressure ♥

Consecrate Your Flesh

|

to-sow-the-tares-with-the-whea-1507979

 

The definition of consecration can be described as to make or declare sacred. It’s important not to give into the desires of your flesh. You are to be made holy and separate. Give him all of you and your everything. Your blessing is in your submission to him. The flesh will always have a mind of its own. That’s why its important to control your flesh, so that it won’t control you. He will show how to control your mind as well as the words that flow out of your belly. In order to go further, there are some things that we must surrender to him. This will separate the wheat and tares. It is written in Matthew 13:30; (KJV) says: “Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn”.

For Lord has also spoken in Matthew 5:29: “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell”. Exercise faith, endurance, patience and discipline in the areas in where you fall short. You are never alone, for the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

Consecrate your flesh and watch your him elevate you. He shall take you to heights you have never seen. Watch him reveal little by little of himself to you in your walk. His words of well done will be worth the struggle which will blossom into joy.

Your smile has the power to light up someone’s day. There is always something to smile about.There are so many people who would love to be in your position who do no have the access to the basic needs, employment and etc. You should take nothing for granted. God has given you another chance to exalt his kingdom. Let there be a glow on you that others desire to have. Why dim your light in the midst of of a dark atmosphere? Somebody needs your smile, someone needs your energy. Become inspiration to others in how you live. Allow your joy to be contagious upon other people. Always remember to smile each day 🙂

1 Step at a Time (Change)

|

change

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD. Progress takes time. Everything is a process. Everything has a particular time and setting. Whenever you are in a process there are steps and transitions to getting where you want to be. Real change does not happen overnight or within 24 hours. Begin with small changes. If you can not walk in the steps, then crawl if you have to. (Remember everything is a process). After crawling, you may fall while your walking, but continue to get back up. Believe or not falling is a part of the process. When you are able to stand and walk, then you can jog. After jogging you will be able to finally run.

Real change is not smooth, but sometimes uncomfortable. Your pathway was designed for you to not only overcome, but to strive as the winner you are. Remove the negative thoughts and all forms of hindrance that’s fighting your progress to change. Everything including dreams, accomplishments, dating and etc. begins with a step. Take things one step at a time, real change is not overnight.  It is written in Proverbs 4:12: “When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble“.

Don’t Become A Trophy for the Wrong Team

|

trophy

A trophy is something that looks good for display. It is also an item that is given as a reward. The problem with being a trophy is that it is only for decoration. A trophy does not define the value of a person’s hard work. When serving the LORD, do not just become someone who only “looks” good. If we do not fully serve him with our all, then we are just a trophy for the wrong team. There is so much more to who we are then just outer presentation. Trophies normally sit on shelves and collects dust. Are you doitrophy_3ng everything to please God or just only on the outer surface?

Allow God to use you. He has design you with purpose, substance and favor. Do not diminish your value or settle by being a trophy. If the same principle applies in a relationship with people,  so it is with God. When you become  a trophy for display, then the enemy has the power to brag off of you. You are a trophy for him.

God bragged on his servant job. It is written in Job 1:8: “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?”  Can God brag on you through the trials and tribulations of your situation? If so, you shall receive tenfold for he is the ultimate restorer. When you play on God’s team you cannot lose. If you are faithful even until the end of time, he shall reward you with a crown of life.

Cheating….On God

|

imagesWD1V01B6

 

The definition of faithful means true, devoted and loyal. When we think of the terms of cheating, we automatically think about someone who’s not playing fair or someone who is dishonest. When someone is in a relationship and an individual decides to step outside of their commitment by cheating with another person, that individual was not loyal. If married, the individual has committed infidelity.

Think about your relationship with God. Have you been faithful and loyal to him? Our relationship with God is like a marriage and we must honor his vows  by following his commandments, statues and law, even when we feel that we are unable to at times (due to our flesh). He will teach you to not follow your flesh.

How can we cheat on God? by committing our time to something or someone else. A relationship not only takes commitment, but time. We can also have false Gods or unknown idols in our life. We can also just simply not obey him. If we do not put him first and love him with all our heart, mind, body and soul, then we are spiritually cheating.

If you are faithful over the small things, then he will reward you to handle the big things. Every big step begins with something small, so it is important on how we deal with the little responsibilities in life. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, so it is vital to be faithful to the LORD even behind close doors. He has said in Matthew 6:18: “Pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly”.

What you do in secret matters and will determine how far you can go publicly. Water your relationship with God. Put him first above all things, spend more quality time with him and seek his face. Truly love him and he will take you places in where you only imagine. There is no limits to God. Don’t become a spiritual cheater. He is more than worthy.
