PRAYER
We thank you Lord for the Word coming to us today, we receive it mixing it with faith in our hearts and we receive it gladly with faith and meekness in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
The way you live your life matters alot. The mindset you have about life is very important not just in life, it is also important to God. You need to have a mindset for a beautiful and exciting life in God.
There is no limit for you as a child of God. You can get to any height, you can become anything in life. Hallelujah! This is because God has set the world in your heart.
The Bible says, "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11.
The world is in your heart. There is nothing about to be discovered or already discovered that you can't know because God has set the world in your heart.
The Amplified Classic says,
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
The word world is used as eternity here. This means there is no extent you cannot go in life. All you can ever be, all that you can achieve, are already in you. There is no limit to it because it's in eternity.
So never again say, I am nothing or I don't know what would become of me, no! You may not have a job, it doesn't make you a nobody, you have eternity in you. You may not know those in top positions, but you have eternity in you. You may be living in just one room apartment, but you have eternity in you.
You are pregnant with those things that you need to live your desires. You can give birth to that dream job, that dream house, you can become your dreams. Take the Scripture we have just read and meditate on it let it get into you and become a part of you.
You shouldn't live your life below God’s plans and dreams for you. You must become all that God has planned for you to be. This is the reason for the study of the Scriptures. The Scriptures guide us into our destinies in God, the Scriptures guide us into living our lives to the full the way it has been planned by God. They show us who we are and who we ought to be. This is why you shouldn't neglect the study of the Scriptures, it should be your daily companion.
A Scripture like, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than He that is in the world." 1 John 4:4, is telling you, nothing can stand against you successfully, you are an overcomer. Praise the Lord!
A Scripture like, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world." 1 John 4:17, means you are just like Jesus. Hallelujah.
These two Scriptures even tell us of our greatness, we cannot be stopped in any way, we are world overcomers and we are just like Jesus. Hallelujah!
Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams and aspirations, telling you you may not be able to achieve them and that you are wasting your time. They even tell you, "God’s time is the best" as though it's in the Bible. This is why you should move around with people of the same faith as yours. Let your close friends be those in the house of God, those that inspire you to do great things, those that talk to you based on the Word.
Don't search for worthless materials that teach you wrong principles for greatness. For example, "7 ways to be great," "5 ways to reach your dreams," "2 ways to achieve your destiny," and so on. These materials bring a limit to what God has already revealed in the Scriptures. If He has set eternity in your heart, do you need principles to achieve that, or to achieve greatness?
The Word is already clear enough as to what it means.
God told Abraham "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:" Genesis 12:2.
We are the seed of Abraham
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Galatians 3:29.
This also applies to us as the seed of Abraham.
If Jesus could heal a woman because she was the seed of Abraham (And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? Luke 13:16), we also have the right to greatness because we are the seed of Abraham.
If Jesus could also bring salvation to Zacchaeus because he was the seed of Abraham (And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as He also is a son of Abraham. Luke 19:9), we are also great nations just like Abraham.
So brother, sister, let nothing stop you from becoming your dreams. Anything is possible, any height is attainable, any dream is achievable. Let this be your consciousness at all times.
Lift up your hands and worship God!
