Challenging the status quo

 “For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?” Genesis 30:30 KJV.

The situation you are not willing to challenge, you cannot change. The future you are not willing to embrace, you cannot conquer. Say no to stagnancy, defeat, limitation, and such that have kept you from realizing your full potential. You are more than this. You can challenge the status quo by engaging in personal development and seeking the face of the Lord.  Don’t wait for things to change; enforce the change. You don’t have a job, you are still sleeping throughout the night, and you are not working on yourself daily? You are in a strange land, and you live anyhow, and you are not engaging the power of the night? You must really be joking with the years God has invested in you. The good news is that you can change things right now.

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.” 1 Chronicles 4:10KJV

“And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” 1 Samuel 30:8KJV

Beloved, if what you are going through is blocking your vision, turn to God to open your eyes. God wants to do greater things through you. God wants you to be blessed, not just survive. God wants to enlarge and increase you. Start by asking God to help you and give you the wisdom and power that you need. Sharpen your skills through training and personal development, and dare to take new territories by taking bold steps.

May you increase on every side in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, enlarge my coast and expand my territory, in Jesus’ name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
