It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. The Lord is great and greatly to be praised (Psalms 96:4). Have you ever wondered why the Lord chose you to do what you’re doing? Knowing your limitations and frequent times of doubting, you wonder why would He choose me? Knowing my quick temper and quick tongue, why would He choose me? Being aware of my faults and failures, why would He pick me? Have you ever had other people question your calling and anointing? Because they were around when you were unfaithful to the Lord, now they find it hard to believe God could use you. Since they refuse to change what they’re doing, they also fail to believe your change is sincere. Have you ever found yourself trying to explain to others why God is blessing you? You feel as if they deserve an explanation. Stop It! No matter what you say to them they will never fully grasp what the Lord is doing. It is not for them to understand.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Have you become overwhelmed by life’s problems? Have you desired to give up on life and yourself? Have friends and family walked away in disbelief? Have you lost hope that things could change? Have you ever felt within that there was much more work to do but you were too weak to do it? Have you been there? Are you there now? Have people mocked your commitment to the Lord’s will? Are the opinions of people the reason why you want to give up? My friend, God Is Not Finished With You! The attacks of man can be used to refine you (Malachi 3:3). The Bible declares in Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Just because man questions your work and your walk does not mean God is finish with you. Child of God, as you walk closer to the Lord you learn everyone you can count cannot be counted upon. Have you forgotten, God does not need many people to complete His work? The Bible declares in Matthew 18:20 – For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.
My brother, my sister, God Is Not Finished With You! To quit now would leave the work undone. To backslide would cause many to fall short. Whether you believe it or not, there are some people who see God in you. There are some people who gave their heart to the Lord because they noticed your faithfulness. You have work to do. You have an assignment to fulfill. The Bible declares in Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Beloved, God Is Not Finished With You! No matter what lie the enemy has spoken to you, he does not have the final word (Numbers 23:19). You are a child of the Most High God. You have been sanctified (set apart) for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). The Bible declares in 1 Peter 2:9 – But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; Dear friend, don’t stop now. There are more to win for the Kingdom. Prayer for Today: Father, please give me the strength to continue. Destroy the spirit of quitting that attempts to suffocate me. I am chosen to change this generation. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
