‘And
he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in
Christ Jesus’ Ephesians 2:6
In this New Year you have to
raise your game. The bible says we sit ‘in heavenly places with Christ Jesus’.
In Genesis, God’s plan for man was to rule and dominate the earth. We lost our
position through Adam but Jesus restored our position to us through the cross.
The bible promises a wonderful people in the end time. We are for greatness. Yet I see believers
follow a mere routine every year. There
is an inferiority complex somewhere, because, when we hold programmes, we
prepare for smaller crowds and this characterizes our activities. Instead of us
believing God and attempting big things, we are into the ministry of smallness.
If you say you really believe that you are in the image of God why not do big
things? But you just say but don’t really believe that if you really prepare
for it you can achieve it. If an angel from heaven tells you that today’s
service will have one million members attending, your faith will rise so much
that you will prepare.
I am not proposing a blind action
towards big things because such attitude will lead to waste of money and other
resources. Instead, let’s get over our fear of failure and rise and prepare and
do big things again. Let’s prepare massively, read all the books we can, pray
all the prayers we can muster and we shall succeed.
If you fear to go beyond the norm
then my friend you have an inferiority complex. To feel inferior implies that
you see yourself as too small or incompetent to succeed in your
undertaking. Read this quotes from John
Maxwell;
Self-esteem is the single most
significant key to a person’s behavior.
It’s impossible to consistently behave
in a manner inconsistent with how we see ourselves. We can do very few things
in a positive way if we feel negative about ourselves.
Low self-esteem puts a ceiling on
our potential.
If your desire is a 10 but your
self-esteem is a 5, you’ll never perform at the level of a 10. You perform as a
5 or lower. People are never able to outperform their self-image. The value we
place on ourselves is usually the value others place on us. Most people live
their lives according to what others believe about them. If the important
people in their lives expect them to go nowhere, then that’s what they expect
for themselves.
Thanks for reading.
