TOPIC: DARE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE (PART 7)
TEXT : ISAIAH 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
God gave His all and best (Jesus Christ) for the redemption our souls to put us at divine advantage over every other human race essentially for us to make a difference in this wicked world, hence, there is no excuse under heaven that is worth our justification for failure – John 3:16, Romans 8:32
Everything that Christ is worth is available for to us to make all the difference in life, the contention against us from the pit of hell notwithstanding - Romans 8:31, 33, Isaiah 54:15-17
In the first instance, you are uniquely created by God different from others and by His mercy you were redeemed through Christ a new and a special creature with the backing of God to make a difference wherever you are found on the planet earth, hence, you cannot afford to disappoint your creator and waste the enormous price paid on your redemption – Romans 8:31-33
Do not allow other people’s opinion to demean you to the point of being sorry for yourself. Jesus proved wrong those who wrote the entire City of Nazareth off by the reason of the face value and the happenings there – John 1:45-49 “………..Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see ……….. Nathaniel answered and saith unto him, Rabi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.”
May be sometime, somewhere and even right now, you have been told and being told that ‘nothing good can ever come out you’, hear me well, they are not your God. Your father in Heaven the creator of the entire universe said “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not” – Lamentations 3:37
The thought of God for us is the thought of good always and not of evil so as to give us a glorious future, if you will be willing to cooperate with Him on the basis of His words – Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 1:19
If slaves in the Bible days can make difference in the midst of hostilities, you can do much more better as a blood-washed saint, all that is required is to be willing and obedient.
HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
1. THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE – Psalms 50:5-6 “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself.”
It is practically impossible to emerge at the top without an appreciable sacrifice. Everyone that ever mattered in the Bible days and our present day are men and women that gave in to a sacrificial lifestyle.
Sacrifice is the pathway to prominence and significance. Our salvation was not free, it was at a huge cost though not paid by us. Everything of value is at a significant cost. To desire prominence in life is good but it is going to be at a cost, without a cost, you are only day-dreaming.
Pandemic is not new, in the days of King David, a pestilence struck the land and seventy thousand men died in a single day and the world did not end – 2Samuel 24:15
No matter the onslaught of this pandemic and its economic effects globally, it shall be minus you, your family and all that has to do with you including your business and career in Jesus Mighty Name.
King David puts an end to the pestilence of his days by rearing an altar of sacrifice that cost him greatly – 2Samuel 24:24-25
Please understand that seed sowing is not all about sacrifice, it is only a part of it but must of necessity have cost implications on you whether spiritual, financial, materials and otherwise.
Sacrifice is all encompassing, it begins with your life becoming a seed in the kingdom ground – John 12:24-26
Sacrifice is cheap to the one that is dead to self.
You can literally see and feel the cost implications of sacrifice from a man that is given to sacrificial lifestyle because nothing of this world matters to him like God and his dream. There is absolutely nothing he cannot sacrifice for God and for the sake of his life’s assignment. Romans 12:1
Sacrifice means going beyond your best when it comes to pleasing God and the demands towards the fulfillment of your God ordained destiny.
Your time, appetite, pleasures, personal dreams and ambitions, relationships, finances, material possessions must be laid down on the altar of sacrifice for God to move in an unusual way in your life after the order of Abraham, Isaac, JACOB, Joseph, David, Solomon, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and the Apostles – Genesis 22:1-18, 39:9, Psalms 126:1-6, Daniel 1:8, 3:14-18, 21-30, 2Cor 11:22-28
Crises period is the best time to give more sacrificially and not to withhold your hand in giving. Refuse to be a dumping ground for others to rise. As you are enjoying favour from other people, look for others to be a blessing to as well - Proverbs 11:24-26, Genesis 26:1-4, 12-14
REMEMBER THAT IF NO SACRIFICE IS TOO BIG FOR YOU TO GIVE, THEN THERE IS NO HEIGHT THAT WILL BE TOO HIGH FOR YOU TO SCALE WITH GOD ON YOUR SIDE. YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY THE DETERMINING FACTOR OF HOW FAR YOU GO IN LIFE. THEREFORE MAKE UP YOUR MIND TODAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE - Daniel 1:8, 6:28
NARROW IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO HEAVEN, SO MAKE SPIRITUAL ADJUSTMENTS NOT TO MISS HEAVEN ELSE YOU MAY END UP IN ETERNAL DISAPPOINTMENT IN HELL FIRE.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I command the outstretched Hand of God to overturn all your pains to gains, your scarcity into abundance, barrenness to fruitfulness, poverty to prosperity, disappointments to divine appointments, joblessness to divine employment and employer of labour, rejection and dejection into divine favour, sickness and disease to sound health, and before this week is over, God will surprise you with turnaround testimonies of laughter – Psalms 126:1-3, Ezekiel 21:27, Luke 21:13
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
