What\nwould you consider as your disadvantage? Is there anything you would deem a\nliability regarding your pursuit to become all that God wants you to be? Do you\nfeel there is a missing ingredient necessary for your recipe of success? I would\nlike to take this opportunity to avert your minds to a truth that should help you\ndeal with the temptation to remain fixated on what is not working around you and\ncount yourself out. <\/p>
Isaiah\n60:22 KJV<\/p>
A little one shall\nbecome a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it\nin his time. <\/p>
The above scripture is God\u2019s programme for your\nlife. That which qualifies this group to become a thousand is because they are\nconsidered to be little and small. Whatever you count as little and small is\nuseful in the hand of God to make you become a thousand and a strong nation.<\/p>
Remain small in your own eyes<\/strong><\/p> The scriptures declare that God has chosen the\nfoolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the\nworld to confound the things that are mighty (1 Corinthians 1:27). There is a\nreason for the emphasis of humility and meekness in the Bible. What Lucifer\ncould not survive is what God is preventing from happening to you. There is\nsomething about glory that can make one susceptible to being haughty. I pray\nthat you would catch a glimpse of how God wants to decorate your life with\nsplendour; because without the appreciation and the character of humility, you will\nblow it. <\/p> I am sharing these with you because God is\ngoing to make you, who seem small today, a thousand and a strong nation. This\nis God\u2019s agenda for your life; the conversion of the little to a thousand and\nthe small to a strong nation. Don\u2019t forget what qualifies you in the first\nplace; being small and little. When you become a thousand, don\u2019t forget that\nyou were little. Resist the temptation to throw your weight about. Embracing\nthis mindset should affect how you talk, relate and treat other people irrespective\nof how low their rank or status may be.<\/p> 1 Corinthians 12:18-21<\/p> But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as\nit hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were<\/em> the\nbody? But now are they<\/em> many members, yet but one body. And the\neye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the\nfeet, I have no need of you.<\/p> You are indispensable<\/strong><\/p> I don\u2019t know whether somebody has ever told you I have no\nneed of you. But the Bible says nobody can say that. Even if they have ever\nsaid it, it has not been said. The eye cannot say to the hand I have no need of\nyou. You are not a luxury good but a necessity. Your relevance is established.\nGod has orchestrated it such that you will be needed. You will not only be\nwanted; you are needed. I need you and you need me. God has set it in the body to\nbe so. You might be operating from a very disadvantageous position because of\nhow you are thinking, but the knowledge of this truth should not allow whatever\nyou hear intimidate you. God is telling you that nobody can say they don\u2019t need\nyou. Even when you are told you are not needed, refuse to allow such statements\nto make you function from a position of a victim.<\/p> In the subsequent verses of the scripture above, it says, \u201cNay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be\nmore feeble, are necessary: And those members<\/em> of the body, which we think to be less\nhonourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts<\/em> have\nmore abundant comeliness.\u201d We read in the previous verse that\nit is God who has set these members in the body. And here we see that there are\nsome that are feeble, less honourable and uncomely. This implies that even the feeble, less\nhonourable, and uncomely are set in the body by God. And yet God declares that\nthere is abundant honour comeliness to make up for the little honour and\nuncomeliness of these members.<\/p> Regardless of the disadvantages and limitations you face,\ndon\u2019t rule yourself out. God specialises in making something out of nothing. He\nbestows abundant honour on those you might think are less honourable. Accept\nthis truth and press on. Your life cannot and should not end in shame. If you\nwill open up to God, there is abundant honour for that segment of your life\nwhere you have a disadvantage. Nothing takes God by surprise. If you would\ntrust Him, He will turn everything around for your good. This is why I would\nlike to urge you to embrace humility and meekness for God\u2019s exaltation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What would you consider as your disadvantage?
