Isaiah 55:11 (ESV) - so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Don’t say “if”
Don’t say “if”
To often we enter our daily life and start using our normal senses to determine, judge, and even predict current happenings in life. But when we start using the “if” word, we start taking away the true power of God when He says, “SO SHALL”. If takes away the true joy in Gods purpose for us, it gives the devil an opportunity to distract you and take your eyes off what is to happen.
God didn’t speak His “if” over you and your life, instead He speaks 4 commands in this verse. God didn’t declare victory by the “if” and weighing out the balances of what may happen. Imagine when Jesus was on the boat, and it was rocking, and Jesus comes out and says Peace be still if you met the right requirements. Gravity stay at a constant for all of life time, if you can please. The exact rotation of the world on its hemisphere has not been interrupted once and do you think its because God said “if” it could?Jesus came and conquered the grave so you would no longer live in the life of “if” and started walking as you “SHALL”.
Don’t Overlook it
Don’t Overlook it
So frequently we overlook the small things in life. When was the last time after you tied your shoe you looked at it and made sure that everything was perfectly tight and fitted, when was the last time you went to boil spaghetti and put to boil the amount of water for the right time recommended by the company instead of just filling it up and boiling it and doing it that way. When I was a kid, I would watch my mother fill up a pot of water, wait for it to boil, add salt and oil into the water, and it was my job to stir it. I had to stir it at least once a minute for approx 12 minutes, then my mom or dad would come to taste it, they would determine if the taste was right or called “El Dente”. I never even knew there was instructions to boiling water to cook spaghetti. If I could over look that, what else may I have overlooked????
Though as life moves on and in our simple overlooking of the small things, tricks, tips, “life hacks” have come out to prevent error from common overlooking of things. Remember this Luke 16:10 - “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much,”
Just as God never saw you as just a single grain of salt, that wouldn’t make much taste difference to food, He saw the potential of you mixed with a grains that would combine and give this world a flavor bomb. God never overlooks the small stuff, as a matter a fact what makes God’s plan so great is that He perfects the small stuff which perfects the big plan. in 2019 there was approx 7.7 billion people on earth, 1 in a 7.7 billion may not seem significant, but when all the 1s are doing exactly what they are supposed to do 7.7 billion times, it makes the next step of the plan right where it needs to be.
God never has a small return plan, its not like a bank checking account interest rate, He sees a projection of Kingdom work that effects hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of lives. Not because you deserve it or you have earned it, but because He has declared it, and you shall accomplish what He declares, and it will be much more than accomplished but it will succeed in which you were called for!
Him first, and the rest shall follow
Him first, and the rest shall follow
Matt 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Jesus spoke this purposefully, not that you wouldn’t have ambition to go out and make the world a better place, but that when you sought Him, He would send you in the right direction, place, and situation to make it a better place. Remember the equation HE>i, in your thougths, plans, ambitions, goals, and desires…because if they are meant to be, He will make the way and add to you to have whatever it may come in fruitation and stop you also if its not meant to be.
Everything would fall into place, direction, guidance, council, provisions, clarity, etc. When we fall into this situation this is when we have our WOW moment. When we have come to that place in life, and everything is just seeming to fit in the right place at the right time. Its what so many other religions and isms of this world seek after in their “true” happiness and yet for you and me, it was supposed to be. Because He said so!
Conclusion - Our destiny in God is right before our eyes, we can wake up and face the world and declare what God has destined for us in His kingdom work and purpose, or we can accept the lie, and questions of provisions, opportunities, advancements, and succession. But it starts in being faithful in the small and excelling into the big things. We do so in a victorious manner by seeking Jesus first and allowing Him to provide the direction of path, provisions, and Word to fulfill our destiny!
PRAY
