Seeing BIG: Expand!
Inside every little person is the potential of thousands. There’s a tree in every seed. Don’t be discouraged by littleness. God loves making great things out of nothing. Instead of seeing yourself as being buried. See yourself as planted, getting ready to expand, grow, increase. Love those very few scriptures that tell us God is going to do something quickly. I believe right now God is accelerating all His works to reach an entire planet. That’s why we must expand the way we see ourselves. You may be weak today, but you can become a strong nation. A little one will become thousands!!!
-On Isaiah 60:22-
I really like what Pastor Phil wrote for his blog entries…this particular one stood out because I had my cell group in mind. “I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time” is so encouraging for me. No, it isn’t just a hopeful feeling. God WILL accelerate all our works. Hence, we cannot stay small and constricted anymore…in our mindset, our current paradigm, our set ways of dealing/doing things. If we want to be used by Him, we must enter into this revolution with Him! Maybe things happening right now seems contrary…everything is so much harder. But you know what? Those who have eyes to see (supernaturally) and ears to hear (the truth in God’s word) and mouth to confess (the Word of God as your own words – ie, be convicted about the Word and speaking it forth with power & authority), they know that they know what they see (naturally) ain’t what they get (the truth abt things). That is faith, folks.
Whatever we have thought of thinking, God is thinking 10 levels higher. Whatever we are doing, God is going to do 10 levels more for us. ACCELERATION. Provided we pray.
I wanna do what’s right. Right=Things God is prompting me to do. And it’s always inevitably about moving on to perfection…..in character, dealing with things, wisdom, decision making, discipleship, spiritual growth. In all things and in all people, love and faith.
Sometimes I find it so hard to agree with certain people, so hard to work (different working style, bad way of communication, weakness of character and the list goes on) with certain people….Christians or Non-Christians. And I’m very led to avoid these people and minimize our chances of interaction…but you know what? That isn’t Holy-Spirit-approved. Because we are called to love even our enemies so how can we loathe someone whom I don’t even consider as my enemy yet? Just some difficulties working with these people, that’s all. And I believe “I ain’t see nothing yet!” =p Until I enter the workforce and see people tearing up each other and lots of ugly faces. Not that I hope to experience that, but the fact is that such situations are unavoidable right?
Gotta remind myself to love. In a way that covers up all sins. In a way that is unconditional. That’s the best way to bring Jesus to people.
