LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1 (KJV)
Today, I’ve come to challenge you to wake up and arise from every form of limitation so that you can live your life to the fullest; move out of your comfort zone. Every human being on the face of this earth has a potential. There is a talent that you have. There is something that makes you unique and if that unique quality can be submitted in the hands of God, it will be a tool in God’s hands to impact your world.
My question today is: what has God placed in your life? What talent do you have? This is the time to bless your generation with your gift: “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracle of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 4:10-11 KJV).
Esther followed Modecai’s advice whole-heartedly. And in the end, she attained a glorious position. To maximize your potential and live your life to the fullest, you must be accountable. There must be someone who can speak into your life- a spiritual covering over your life. Modecai instructed Esther and she obeyed. Today, her story is being read all over the world. Who is speaking into your life? You are not ordinary, but you need to be guided. Remember Paul and Timothy in the Bible? Timothy was able to fulfill purpose because there was a Paul to guide him and speak into His life.
Beloved, irrespective of what is happening around you, understand that you are not ordinary. You are called for a purpose and it is my prayer that you will fulfill this purpose and arrive at God’s ordained destiny. The devil will not cut you short.
