Give Your Life a Push
Stagnancy is a sign of cluelessness, visionlessness, and lack of ideas. In every situation, there’s always a way out. If there’s a way-in, there will be a way out. You need to give it a cursory, critical look. Assess the situation based on it’s peculiarities and you shall find a way out. Tell yourself, ‘I cannot be stranded’ in Jesus’ name.
There’s a story I love that illustrates this so much.
Mark 2:1-5 NLT [1] When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. [2] Soon, the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, [3] four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. [4] They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. [5] Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”
The situation was bad, but the options were limited. The message translation says:
Mark 2:2MSG
“A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out.”
But see what these guys did. They opened the roof. It’s was a no one but them.
They looked where others were not looking.
They saw what others did not see, did what others could not do, and got what others could not get. Their passion for result was at its peak. All they were looking for was success. They got it.
In Genesis 26, there was famine where Isaac lived. While the people of the land were engrossed in immorality, to the extent they wanted the wife of Isaac. He was thinking more about how to solve the common hunger problem. He got it.
Genesis 26:12 NLT [12] When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.
Then, the result was obvious
Genesis 26:13 KJV [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
Furthermore, he did not stop at that. He had more ideas, and he acquired more.
Genesis 26:14 NLT [14] He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him.
May this be your outcome in this season.
You shall be great, you shall go forward, you shall grow, you shall become very great in Jesus’ name.
Receive divine clues, visions, and ideas that will give your life a push forward in Jesus’ mighty name.
See you at the TOP.
