Step Out of Your Tent: Embrace Your Divine Future

As you journey through life, there are moments when you decide to take a pause. You take some rest, and then continue. However, this hibernation tends to be a redefining moment in a person’s life. What happens during this time is rather astonishing. That is, either one remains in this state much longer than expected, or he/she settles. In effect, we build mental tents and dwell in them. If you have built a tent, you must step out of it. If you have gotten stuck in one, you must also step outside. Only then can you count your stars and connect to your future, your destiny.

Often, we stay too long in the tent and miss the glorious future God has for us.

Your tent can be your past successes or your pains and rejections. It might be a comfort zone or a familiar way of life. It could also be a good enough relationship, etc.

God wants us to live a higher life, as He has placed unlimited resources within us. However, before you can see and move in that direction, like Abraham, we have to step out of our tent.

Today, can you identify a tent that is hindering your progress? Is it preventing you from seeing the promises of God concerning your life? Are you willing to step out? If yes, I pray that God enables you with the courage you need in Jesus’ name.

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalms 37:23, NLT)

You have testimonies to share. Beginning today, even now, believe that your steps are directed by God. Thus, pray, listen, and start. Whatever He shows you as you step out shall come to pass.

God bless you richly. 🙏

What If It Works?

Within heroes lies the feeling of fear, worry, anxiety, self-doubt, etc. But what they do is that despite what tends to hold them back, they gather the courage to move ahead. They trust this inner voice that gives them hope that “what if it works?“.

In your deliberations about your plans for this life, pay close attention to your spirit being. He/she whispers amid the clouds of doubt, “What if it works?”

If there is a 1% chance that you will succeed, give it a try? What if it works?

While thinking about this message, I calculated Gideon’s chances of success in the book of Judges. He planned to go to war with 32000 troops but God reduced it to 300, which is 0.94% of his planned number. The irony is that his 32000 was about 4 times lower than the Midianite army. Now, put it in a context where he is going up against an army of about 135000. What was Gideon’s chance of success? Your guess is as good as mine, 0. Was Gideon afraid? Yes. But he trusted in what God had said and he won.

As a child of God, He has given you His Word: “Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” (Isaiah 41:10, MSG)

In this year, you will feel fear. Anxiety will knock at your door. The News will look bad. And of course, you are going to have a sense of self-doubt. But you’ve got to keep going because God is with you. Every little step will matter. And remember that slow motion is better than no motion. Steven Covey put it this way; Where you are going is more important than how fast you are going. Don’t let the feelings stop you. What if it works?

Repost: DAY 2 – WHY DID JESUS COME TO DIE?

And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

(1 John 3:5, 8 NLT)

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come. ” (Luke 4:18, 19 NLT)

Jesus brought Good news to the poor, healing to the sick, hope to the hopeless, and faith to the faithless. He delivered those who were possessed by demons. He raised the death. And He gave us Power over all the powers of the enemy. Jesus came to die on the cross to set us free from the bondage of the devil.

Satan has no power over you again because God has bought you at a Price. You are saved, healed, empowered, equipped, and have been elevated in Jesus’ Name.
