“ESTEEMED”
READ: LUKE 16:15-16
“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” Isaiah 54:2
These words from the prophet Isaiah are telling us to attempt to create a larger tent. Attempt to build a bigger tent. Expect more people to occupy the tent. Expect to need a bigger tent to give a covering to a larger crowd.

The prophecy is clear for all who are interested in the visions of God. The visions of God tell us to enlarge our ministries. The visions of God tell us to expect great things and to attempt great things.
William Carey, the great missionary to India, is the one who coined these famous words, “Attempt great things for God and expect great things for God.” The prophet gave the command to enlarge the tent and lengthen its cords. Why is that? Why would you have to enlarge the tent? Because you are expecting great things!
It is important for Christians to expect great things from God and to attempt great things for God. It is sad to say that many believers are not attempting great things for God. Instead of attempting great things for God, people are being side-tracked into business schemes and other ventures.
Attempt to do something great for God. There are many great things you can do for the Lord. A great thing is something that God calls great. Become interested in things that are great in the eyes of God. Become interested in things that are called “great” in the Bible. What is great to a businessman may not be great to a servant of God. What is called “great” to a politician may not be called “great” in the sight of God. Greater things can be done for the Lord.
