Do You Limit God?

One day, God gave me an idea to do something, but I quickly dismissed it, assuming I didn't have the time for the task. The Lord spoke to me and said, "How can I use you when you quickly dismiss what I want to do." God will ask you to forgive, give your time to help someone else, be good to those who haven't been good to you, learn something new, eat healthy, exercise, save money, become financially literate, etc. He doesn't want you to limit His working in your life.

When God asks you to do something, remember, He didn't ask you to do it alone. He knows your shortcomings but wants you to partner with Him to get the job done. You have Christ living in you! Galatians 2:20 AMPC I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

When Jesus walked the earth, He didn't restrict anything God wanted to do. Jesus gave up His life for you! This is the example you should follow. According to Psalm 32:8, The Lord will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; The Lord will counsel you with His eye upon you.

Prayer for the Journey

Lord, forgive me for every time I hindered your will from being done on earth. I am grateful for your son Jesus who gave His life so that I can live life more abundantly. No longer will I allow my limitations to restrict you. I choose to see myself in you! I say yes to the task that is before me. I declare that in you, I will obtain the victory!

In Jesus name, Amen!

The Promises of God Stand

In life, we will have many trials. However, there is never a need to fear because Christ has overcome the world (paraphrased John 16:33)! This means there is nothing that you can go through in life that Christ has not already created a solution for. There is a promise for your problem!

Today I celebrate 42 years of life and will share with you seven promises of God that I have stood on to see God's goodwill in my life. Like many of you, I have had troubles but God has been faithful and His Word has always prevailed. May these scriptural promises help you in the journey of life as they have helped me. (There is a special message at the end of this post! 😀)

1. God's love for me is unconditional:

• 1 John 3: 1 TPT Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize him.

2. Don't worry, God will always provide:

• Matthew 6: 31-33 TPT 31 “So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn’t your heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.

3. God will keep me from falling:

• Jude 1: 24-25 NLT 24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. 25 All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

4. With God, nothing is impossible:

• Philippians 4:13 NLT For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

5. Christ is my wisdom:

• 1 Corinthians 1:30 NLT God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.

6. Because of Christ, I am healed:

• 1 Peter 2:24 NLT He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

7. My children will serve the Lord:

• Deuteronomy 11:18-21 NLT 18“So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 19 Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 20 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors.

May these scriptural promises encourage you in the journey of life as they have been a great encouragement to me!

You Are a World Changer

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He made a mark in history that is known throughout the world! I am grateful to God for His courage to fight for equality among all people during the civil rights movement. We may never be known on a level as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, but we too can make a mark in history that “can not be erased.”

The part that God has for you to play in establishing His will on earth will shape the course of history! We often don’t view our destiny with such magnitude but your part is needed and significant.

1 Corinthians 12:14-20 TPT 14 In fact, the human body is not one single part but rather many parts mingled into one. 15 So if the foot were to say, “Since I’m not a hand, I’m not a part of the body,” it’s forgetting that it is still a vital part of the body. 16 And if the ear were to say, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not really a part of the body,” it’s forgetting that it is still an important part of the body. 17 Think of it this way. If the whole body were just an eyeball, how could it hear sounds? And if the whole body were just an ear, how could it smell different fragrances? 18 But God has carefully designed each member and placed it in the body to function as he desires. 19 A diversity is required, for if the body consisted of one single part, there wouldn’t be a body at all! 20 So now we see that there are many differing parts and functions, but one body.

Each of us together makes up the body of Christ and the body of Christ accomplishes God’s will when we are all functioning in the part we were designed to operate in. What is your role as a part of the body of Christ? Whatever it is that God has designed for you to do, WE NEED YOU! Let your light shine! It is my prayer that you will do everything with such integrity and excellence that men will recognize you and, in turn, you will bring recognition and honor back to our heavenly father. Remember, it is through your life and light that God will be able to draw men unto Him.

Prayer for the Journey

God, it is only through you that I can fulfill the destiny you prepared for me. Help me not to view my part as small or insignificant. I declare I will fulfill my part as a functioning member of the body of Christ. Thank you for choosing to use me.

In Jesus name, Amen!
