Never forget that there is someone out there just waiting for you to succeed to know that it is possible. What you do with the challenges you face, what you do with your life, will either push others to the top or kill their spirit and confirm everything negative people have said they cannot do. Many people live as if they only live for themselves, but there is no greater power than the power to influence, to be an inspiration, and everyone has this power to some extent.
Some will say, 'but we cannot live for others.' Fine, but we live for the glory of God; and the glory of God is more manifested when more and more people, not just us, step into their calling and destiny and become what God intended them to be. And we have the power to inspire them to do so. We all face obstacles, sometimes due to circumstances, sometimes due to the system, or sometimes due to our own thought patterns. So we turn to God and say, 'God, what exactly are You doing? Don't you realize that...?' by naming the obstacle that makes it impossible to be who God wants us to be.
But obstacles are there to be overcome; all resistance will crumble when faced with greater opposing pressure. As you break through resistance after resistance on the path to your destiny, your strength will increase. Years ago, one day God whispered into my heart, 'I will give you tensile strength.' A quick look in the dictionary reveals that it means 'the measure of a material's ability to resist a force that tends to tear or break it'; it refers to durability, permanence through the ability to withstand adversity and pressure without cracking. I began to ask for it eagerly, and it has served me well.
I have since seen people decide to obey God and serve God because of what they saw someone as unusual as me do. Just this morning I saw how much more there was to do and God reminded me that it's not just about me, my potential victories and successes. There are people whose lives will be lifted to a higher level when they see your success, those who at the moment hardly dare to believe they can do it who will suddenly start saying, as someone once said to me, 'If he can do it, I can too.' And they will.
My prayer is that you will have the pulling power, that you will destroy all opposition, that you will triumph over all opposers for the glory of God and for the encouragement and blessing of others who will enter into their destiny because you will have obeyed God.
Shalom!
I discovered this site yesterday through “Women of Value”, I was touched by the article by “woman of prayer” and I wanted to know more about you. I don't know what to say, I am moved by everything I have already read and listened to so much everything you have said in the articles I read is what I feel or would like to feel. Your messages are filled with love for all souls, it is palpable, because through them, I feel the love of Jesus for me, He speaks to me through you and I receive his love and his words. I assure you that this is the first time I have felt this. I have been blessed by several messages from preachers including those from my pastor and his wife whom I love very much but with you I felt the love of God in a palpable way. After reading and listening to you, I prayed a prayer that I have been doing for the past 2 years since I gave my life to the Lord: that Your love, Lord, be spread through me, and this time I added as He did with you. My cry to the Lord, to be a channel of blessing for many, because as one has been for me, so I must be for others. The best blessing I speak of is to return to the Father and to live the love of the Lord.
God bless you
Thanks Pst!
