USE YOUR GOD GIVEN ADVANTAGE

“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord…” Ephesians 3:10-11 NIV

It is not enough to know what God has done for you in Christ but what are you doing to fulfil the kingdom agenda? It is time to begin to use your God-given advantage to daze your world. With Jesus inside you and working outside you, you have more than what it takes. Remember that Jesus didn’t have to die, but He did so that you can walk in royalty. 

It is not God’s intention for you to push wheelbarrow all the days of your life. God wants you to be a good specimen to the world. So, refuse to be satisfied with the crumbs. There is much you can achieve if only you realize that the Greater One lives in you. 

In Genesis 11, God saw determination in a set of people who were building a tower and He exclaimed: “nothing that they have imagined to do can fail.” If you can imagine it or capture the picture inside you, it doesn’t matter how many are against you; I dare tell you that it can work. Remember that you carry God inside of you; stop acting small. Think big! As a new creation, you carry God’s DNA. God has great plans for your glory, not for shame or embarrassment. Don’t ever anticipate failure because you have the mind of Christ. Christ never anticipated failure and so it was impossible for Him to fail. You cannot fail as well. 

Has God given you a dream or idea? I encourage you to stay with your dream and create what you want to see. When you dare look inside, you will be amazed at what you will produce. There is so much waiting for expression. Go out there and take your world by storm. This generation is waiting for you. I will hear your testimony.
