Ephesians 3:20 KJV
[20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Have you ever desired that the Lord would use you for His glory? Have you ever prayed that the Lord fix you into His plans and purposes for the end-time? Have you ever prayed and fasted before that the Lord would be glorified in your life? Have you ever prayed and hungered after God that He would use you the way He used Moses to lead the ISRAELITES out of the land of Egypt, the way He used David to Kill Goliath, the way He used Noah to build the ark that saved his family and the creations that began a new generation; the way He used Esther, a slave girl to deliver a whole nation of the Jews. HAVE YOU EVER DESIRED THAT THE LORD WOULD USE YOU FOR A SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT OF THIS END TIME?
DO YOU DESIRE FOR HIS ANOINTING FOR USEFULNESS?
Look at Solomon, the youngest of the sons of David, unto him was given the privilege of building the Temple of God which would house the Ark of the Covenant. See what he said:
1 Kings 3:7-10 KJV
[7] And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father:
and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
[8] And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people,
that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
[9] Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern
between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
[10] And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
He acknowledged that the assignment was bigger than him. Moses acknowledged that the assignment of leading the tribe of Israel out of the iron cage of Egypt was bigger for him to accomplish, so he said:
Exodus 3:11 KJV
“And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh,
and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
If you have ever prayed for ANOINTING for usefulness in His vineyard; if you have ever desired that the Lord would use you; if God would ever answer that prayer and decided to give you an assignment for His purpose:
HE WOULD ALWAYS GIVE OUT A VISION AND ASSIGNMENT BIGGER THAN THE SERVANT HE WANTS TO USE.
HE WOULD ALWAYS GIVE YOU A VISION BIGGER THAN YOU.
HE WOULD ALWAYS COMMIT A MINISTRY WHOSE FUTURE IS EXTREMELY BIGGER THAN YOUR EDUCATIONAL, FAMILY AND SOCIAL STATUS.
HE WOULD ALWAYS CALL YOU INTO A MINISTRY WHOSE FUTURE IS MASSIVELY GREATER THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE.
YES!
YE-E-E-E-S!!!
If your Vision is not greater that your capacity, probably you have called yourself or your lack of faith have trimmed down the visions. Or you might have probably called yourself.
Let me say it again:
IF THE VISIONS YOU CLAIMED THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO YOU ARE NOT GREATER THAN YOUR INCOME AND FINANCIAL CAPACITIES, THEN, YOU HAVE CALLED YOURSELF OR COWARDLY REDUCED THE MINISTERIAL LUGGAGE YOU WERE TOLD TO CARRY.
And why must your visions and assignments be bigger than your capacities? BECAUSE, IT IS THE WORK OF GOD, AND ONLY GOD CAN DO HIS WORK. HE ONLY NEEDS A MAN THROUGH WHOM HE CAN DO THE WORKS.
Who divided the Red Sea? Moses? No! GOD DID. But He used the obedience of Moses.
Who stopped the Sun from going down and the Moon from rising up from the valley of Aijalon? Joshua? Nooo! GOD DID! But He worked through the faith of Joshua.
Ephesians 3:20 KJV
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
Next time, you look at the visions and assignment the Lord has given to you and they look so big and intimidating, and you look at yourself so small and very incapable of achieving the massive vision, and feeling scared all the time as you embark on the visions, and your friends and relatives and even christian friends begin to doubt your rationality in embarking on such huge visions; and they begin to doubt your calling and certainty of your calling to do the assignemnt; no for sure that, IT IS BECAUSE THE LORD WOULD NOT GIVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT THAT IS SMALLER OR EQUAL TO YOUR CAPABILITIES, SO THAT YOU NIGHT NOT DEPEND ON YUR POWER TO DO IT, BUT RELY ON GOD FOR ITS ACCOMPLISHMENT.
So your power can not do the work of God…you will always need His help and financial provisions, because the work of God will always be bigger than you, ….so you would always need God’s helps.
How big is the Assignments and Visions given to your by God? t
There is no problem if people are doubting you that the Lord could not have told you to embark on that big assignment. No problem at all.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM IF YOU BIGIN TO DOUBT THE VISIONS AND THE BIG ASSIGNMENT THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO YOU.
May the Lord bless you richly.
