STOP LIMITING GOD

Luke 13:34 (GNB), Matthew 13:57-58 (GNB)
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times I wanted to put my arms around all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me! *And so they rejected Him….. Because they did not have faith, He did not perform many miracles there.

There are so many things God wants to do in our lives, but many times we end up limiting or preventing Him from doing them. Jesus said there were many times He wanted to put His arms around the Israelites and gather them as a hen gathers her chicks but they did not let Him. He wanted to protect them and show Himself strong in their lives but they did not allow Him to. In what way did they resist Him? By killing the prophets and messengers God sent to them. What were the prophets and messengers bringing to them? God’s Word! Whenever we resist or refuse to fill ourselves, believe and yield ourselves to God’s word, we are limiting or preventing God from doing great things in our lives.

God honours His word and He does everything He does by His word.

In our second text above, the people in Jesus’ hometown rejected Him simply because they were overfamiliar with Him and His background. As a result of this, He couldn’t do great miracles among them. Some believers have become too familiar with God’s word and this attitude is making them no longer value God’s word as they should. By their attitude, they limit and prevent God from doing the great things He wants to do in their lives.

PRAYER:
Father, I receive your grace to keep filling myself with your word and to keep believing and yielding myself to your word.
