God, Your Source
Source is defined as “a place, person, or thing from which something originates or can be obtained.”. From this definition, there is a source of happiness, joy, health, wealth and riches, protection, promotion, etc. Your entire life depends on a source which determines your perception about people, things, and events happening around you.
There are two types of Sources; Finite or Limited Source and Infinite or Unlimited Source.
Any source outside of God is Finite. That is if any of your sources is a person, then it will only last as long as you are in the good books of that person. Even that, it could only last as long as that person lives. People get frustrated when they lose their job, or someone leaves them because at some point, they saw the job and/or that person as a source. Always remember that any source outside of God is Limited.
Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.
(Psalm 90:2, NLT)
Before there was ever anything else you see or consider as a source, He was God. He is God and He will continue to be God. You are only passing through His eternity therefore be mindful of the place, the person, or the thing you depend on for your survival.
God can never be defeated so permit him to be your source of everything. Let Him be the source of your strength. Rely on Him for your every need and you will never be disappointed. Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) says Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
Don’t make a place, a thing, or a person your source. It’s true that God uses people to bless people but often times we are swayed by outward appearance. We tend to believe that only affluence people can help us and forget that during a period of famine, of all the people God could have used to bless Elijah, He used a widow who had limited resources but her source was God. In the end, God used that limited resources for a miracle that we still talk about today.
Naaman also had an opportunity to encounter his prophetic blessings through a slave girl. Maybe the person you are looking down upon is your lead, and not the one you are looking up to. That’s why you should trust God for His leading.
Be encourage to recognize God as your Source for every thing, both big and small and your entire life will triumph on the path of possibilities.
SAY THIS: My Father in Heaven, I affirm that from eternity to eternity, you are God. You are Omnipotent and I choose to recognize you as my Source. As I am confidently trusting and relying on you with all my heart, I know that I will never be put to shame and you will watch over every word concerning my life and perform them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
My Little Story: Make Things Happen
Story:
I woke up one morning with a strong desire for a cup of hot dark coffee. I knew that a cup won’t appear on my coffee table till I make it happen with the wisdom and knowledge I have so after attending to my personal care needs, I walked to the first shop for coffee. Unfortunately, as with many first attempts on achieving targets, I met the unexpected…no coffee. At first, I thought that I wasn’t going to satisfy this desire but something in me kept me moving from shop to shop till I got the brand I felt for.
I came home to meet my hot water ready because I turned the kettle on before my coffee expedition. Also I had white sugar and milk so I was kind of ready for the mix. Whew! In next 2 minutes, with a tea spoon of sugar, my desired cup of hot coffee was ready. See, I could have spent my morning praying and nothing would have happened without any intentional actions.
Lesson:
God has placed in you some great desires that only you can make them happen. A lot of times we are made to believe that miracles happen on their own which is something that has no scriptural basis. Miracles happened in the pages of scripture when the recipients did what they could do regardless of how small their efforts were. Miracles happened when they obeyed the voice they heard by taking corresponding actions. Are you ready to take some steps or actions?
I could have stayed in bed, fasted and prayed for the whole day and the cup of coffee wouldn’t appear. Does that mean that God can’t do it? No. God can do all things but He doesn’t encourage laziness. He knows that His children are in a constant battle against dangerous enemies so He likes to toughen them to make things happen. God doesn’t entertain comfort zone because your enemy will soon turn it to danger zone.
Maybe you have been waiting for God to make the money, opportunity, or break appear, or make your heart desires to (just) appear…boom! It doesn’t happen like that. Everything you see were made by God. God did it. They didn’t appear on their own. God made them happen. When Jesus needed money to pay tax, or turned water to wine, or feed the multitude, He could have just made them appear out of nowhere yet He told the people around and/ or the disciples to take some actions. He told them to do the little things that made the big things happened. What are some of the little things you can do about your vision, dreams, desires of your heart, etc?
What fasting and prayer does is that it gives you the strength to do what you have in your heart. It makes you find favor so that the least you do triggers the supernatural.
Like my cup of coffee, you can make things happen. Every desire you have in your heart is possible. Get out from any comfort zone and start moving. It’s possible your first stop may say No but there is a Yes in your future…not a far distant future but a couple of steps or actions from whatever stage you are now. God is your strength. Keep going and Make things happen.
Uplifting Christ
