THINK BIG OF WHAT GOD CAN DO

“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,”
Ephesians 3:20
Main Text: Main Text: 1 Corinthians 2:9

God is HUGE! All of the universe can’t contain Him (1 Kin. 8:27). He is infinite, while everything He created is finite. Each one of us has an image on the inside of us of who we are and what we can do. Sadly, life and the devil have done a pretty good job of beating the hopes and dreams out of many.

Each one of us has God-given things in us that are intended for others. If we don’t reach our full potential, then such people may have to be blessed through other channel. That image on the inside of us acts like a ceiling, or limit, to what we can accomplish. If we see ourselves as nobody special, then we won’t be anybody special. But God never made a dud. He has plans for each of us that exceed what we are experiencing (Jer. 29:11). We were made for greatness. However, this needs to be defined. What the world calls greatness and what God calls greatness are two different things.

According to 1 Corinthians 3:13 “every man’s work shall be made manifest and tried by fire”. This verse says that every man’s work will be tried for what sort it is, not what size it is. Not everyone is intended to do something that gets the attention of the world. But we are all created by God to shake our worlds; i.e., our areas of influence. There is more to life than earning a living, having a family, growing old, and going to be with Jesus. We are supposed to make a difference in our world as we pass through. We need to live so that someone will miss us and what we gave when we are gone. One of the greatest limits to what God can do in our lives is comparing ourselves with the wrong people. The latter part of 2 Corinthians 10:12 says, But they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Confession:

I am equipped for every good work God has planned for me. I am anointed and empowered by the Creator of the universe. Every bondage, every limitation, is being broken off of me. This is my time to shine. I will rise higher, overcome every obstacle, and experience victory like never before!
