If we are going to live a victorious life, we have to be willing to deal with anything that is keeping us from being our nest. It may be an addiction, a bad habit or a hot temper. Maybe it is not getting to work on time, not treating someone right or having critical spirit. God is always dealing with us about something. He is always calling us higher. But anytime we go higher, our flesh has to go lower.
Sometimes we wonder why we feel stuck at same place, why we cannot seem to get out of this rut. It could be because we are not dealing with what God brings to light. When you feel that conviction on the inside, something says, you need to eat that person better. You need to get to work on time. You need to get help with that bad habit, those are not just nice thoughts. That is God speaking to you, wanting to bring you up higher. Do not ignore it. Do not sweep it under the rug.
Sometimes we think we are waiting on God when God is really waiting on us to deal with something. It may be difficult but it is better to make right choices and be uncomfortable for a while than to keep going the same way and miss your destiny. They were complainers, negative, ungrateful. God gave them chance after chance but they kept failing the test. They did not deal with it and missed out on God’s best.
If you have an area you struggle in and we all do, do not ignore it. Do not pretend it not there or hope it just goes away. You will never conquer what you do not confront. If you have a problem, get it out in the open. God, every time I see my friend, she is so talented, she is so beautiful, I tend to get jealous. God, help me, or God, there people really hurt me. I am having a problem forgiving them, God, I have got this resentment in my heart. When you have a humble attitude, asking God for help in faith. He will never let you down. If you do your part and deal with it. God will do His part and help you overcome.
When God asks us to do something difficult, forgive someone who hurt us, walk away from a friend who is polluting our life or anything than is major sacrifice or takes great effort, we can be assured a major blessing will follow our obedience. There is a blessing attached to every act of obedience. If we cooperate with God, there will be a major shift in our life for the better.
I say every day, God search m heart. Am I on the right track? God, show me areas in which I need to improve. What can I do better? God does not require us to be perfect. All He asks is that we keep trying and taking steps to improve. We should treat people better this year than we did last year. We should have more discipline, less bad habits, a better attitude. If you are stuck at the same place, you need to pray, God show me what I need to do to improve.
There will always be something that stands between you and your destiny, pride, jealousy, an offense, a bad habit. The enemy will give you the low ground. He does not mind you being average or mediocre, not making a different. But when you determine not to live with thins holding you back, deal with issues God brings to our attention and decide to be all He crated you to be, you are going to see God’s favor in amazing ways.
I am asking you to shake off any kind of mediocrity. You have seeds of greatness on the inside. There is no obstacle too big, not addiction too great, no bad habit too strong. You and God are a majority. As you deal with what He brings to light and do your best to walk in obedience, you will experience God’s radical favor, blessings and miraculous turnarounds.
