It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever believed God for something so awesome that everyone around you thought it and you were crazy? They could not understand how you really believed God would open a door that had never been opened before. They could not believe you were fasting and praying for a miracle that others said was impossible. They could not believe you were claiming and declaring healing in your body, even after the doctor said there was nothing else they could do. Have you ever spent hours explaining your dreams to others but they still did not understand it or you? You tried your best to explain it but the more you talked, the harder it was for them to see it. Do you realize God will prevent certain people from understanding your dreams. He does this because everyone cannot be trusted or involved in the work He’s doing in you.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. When was the last time you attempted to tell family and friends about the word God spoke into your spirit? When was the last time you tried to explain to others what God spoke to you? Did they understand it? Why do you feel the need to explain the blessings of God in your life to others? If the truth were told, you really do not understand yourself. You do not understand why God continues to bless you abundantly. You have not been perfect. You have fallen short on several occasions. But God continues to pour out His spirit and favor on you. My friend, Stop Apologizing Because You’re Blessed! Stop allowing others to make you feel guilty because God chose you for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). The Bible declares in Romans 8:31 – What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Who can stand against a chosen, changed, child of God? While the enemy may set traps and snares against you, the purpose of God for your life will not allow the enemy’s plans to succeed. God did not call you to be apologetic or to apologize on His behalf.
My brother, my sister, Stop Apologizing Because You’re Blessed! When God chose to bless you, He made no mistake. He knew exactly what He was doing. While man overlooked you, God was looking directly at you. While others had more education, God knew your heart. There were many who studied and trained themselves for the opportunity, but God raised you up for the assignment. The Bible declares in Psalms 1:1 – Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Beloved, why do you feel the need to apologize? Are you ashamed of the work God is doing within you? Please do not. Our Father saw something in you that was not in anyone else. David was a man after God’s own heart, not because he was perfect, but because his heart longed to please the Lord (1 Samuel 13:14). From this day forward, Stop Apologizing Because You’re Blessed! Prayer for Today: Father, thank you for choosing me for such a time as this. I am nothing without you, but I can do all things through you. Have your way in me. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: Matthew 22:14, Philippians 4:13
