1 Samuel 10:1-2 KJV
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance? When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Some of us believe that only few or some people are called… That is not true.
Everyone of us is called. The difference is in the assignment.
Be grateful for what have achieved and celebrated your strength.
The same grace on the rich is the same on the poor. The difference is in the way they used their opportunities.
You were born for a purpose, so stop wishing that your life was like another person’s own.
We put so much stress on ourselves
Jeremiah 1:5 KJV
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
To be chosen is to be elected.
That it is not happening now does not mean that it will not happen latter.
That the contract you applied for did not click does not mean it is the end
What is that thing giving you stress?
Is there anything too hard for God.
Don’t compete with anyone. Shine your shine and I shine my shine. It is a shining thing!
If you go to the market to buy a wrapper, one wrapper can have different grades, Hitarget, Hollandaise even Excellence. When we stand out, the difference may not be obvious.
Be careful for nothing
Our heavenly father knows we have need of it!
That thing you are looking for, it is done already!
Only believe!
Matthew 13:58 KJV
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Our unbelief has restrained the hand of God!
When God remembers you, it does not look like your yesterday. It is more like a dream!
God makes it beautiful
He makes it loud
It may not be when you need or want it, but it will be bigger and better!
The Father was bothered about the son because what he sought was already found!
Hustles have taken the place of God but God is saying, whatever you need, I am able to do it.
Why does God not give when you want it?
God can keep a testimony for years so that many will be saved by her testimony in the next 10 years.
Habakkuk 2:3 KJV
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
WHY DO WE WORRY?
- Uncertainty about the future.
Matthew 6:25 KJV
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Is it possible not to take thoughts about the next meal when nothing is available?
Don’t allow it to enter your head!
In the battlefield of the mind by Joyce Meyer, our minds are like traffic. You decide what stays and what should not stay.
You learn to become a traffic warden in your mind to replace thoughts with the word of God.
The devil paints pictures in your mind that will lead to depression.
Replace it with good thoughts.
Matthew 6:26-30 KJV
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Shall he not much more do it to you?
He will!
You may not have what it takes now, but I know that our heavenly father knows.
You may feel down and feel like God
Has somehow forgotten
That you are faced with circumstances
That you can’t get through
But right now it seems that there’s no way out
And you’re going under
God’s proven time and time again
He’ll take care of you
… He’ll do it again (Oh He’ll do it again)
He’ll do it again (Yes He will do it again)
If you’ll just take a look
At where you are now
And where you’ve been
Hasn’t He always come through for you
He’s the same now as then (Don’t you know God has not changed)
You may not know how
You may not know when
But He’ll do it again
… God knows the things that you’re going through
And how you’re hurting
He understands just how your heart
Has been broken in two
He’s the God of the sun, the stars, the sea
He is your Father
He’ll calm the storm
He’ll find a way and He’ll fix it for you
… He’ll do it again (Oh He’ll do it again)
He’ll do it again (Yes He will do it again)
Yes He will
Just take a look
At where you are now
And where you’ve been
Hasn’t He always come through for you
He’s the same now as then (Don’t you know God has not changed)
You may not know how
You may not know when
But He’ll do it again
… He’s still God and He will not fail you
He’s still God, He has not changed
I know He’s still God and He’s fighting for you
Just like Daniel, just like Moses
Just like Shadrach and Meshach, Abednego
2. We worry because we don’t know who we are and what we carry.
Genesis 39:19-23 KJV
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
Genesis 40:1-7 KJV
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their Lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his Lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
Joseph knew whom he was and even in the prison, Joseph stood out!
As you identify with God, his grace will rub off on you!
When you stay with someone, with time you begin to operate like that person.
3. Have an understanding of who you are.
That gives you the strength
4. Know who you are!
2 Kings 4:2 KJV
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
What do you have in your hands?
The widow thought she had nothing. The little you have is enough!
While waiting for the job, do something else.
If something is too difficult, God’s hands is not in it.
Whatever you are looking for, is settled.
You Have something in your hands!
