Life is too short for you to live with negative things holding you down The power of thought can create the very condition that you are afraid of Find people who will fan your flame not people who will throw water on your flame.

But the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

Daniel 11:32.
We serve a God who gives strength, wisdom, gifts and finances to do great things for Him on this earth. The above scripture portion tells us that those who know their God, shall be strong and carry out great exploits. If you know God, you will never be ordinary, you will rule and reign in life.

Anything and everything in our lives begins the day we know God. Our actual life on this earth begins the day we know God, the day we are born again and saved. Eternal life starts here on this earth and ends in heaven with us spending eternity with Jesus our Lord and savior for ever and ever. Many of us know God, but we are not able to do great exploits for Him. The reason is we don’t know what God has placed in the inside of us, we don’t bring it out of us and use it for the expansion of His kingdom. Many of us are not in a position to achieve much for God on this earth, because our vision is limited to me and my family (we four and no more). Sometimes many of us when we go through problems and challenges we forget how big our God is and what He has placed in the inside of us. The devil will always remind us of what we do not have, but he will never allow us to think and thank about what God has placed in the inside of us, and he will never allow us to use it for kingdom purpose. You don’t run from Satan, he runs from you. Tell the devil you came from one direction, but I will make you run in seven different directions.

Moses was a prophet and he performed great miracles, signs and wonders and brought the Israelites out from bondage. In the desert the Israelites were pestering Moses for meat, he was fed up with their demands and he prayed to God saying, I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now – if I have found favor in Your sight – and do not let me see my wretchedness (Numbers 11:14,15). God asked him to bring seventy men of the elders of Israel and He took the spirit which was on Moses and put it on all the seventy men. Moses never knew that he had the strength and spirit of seventy men in the inside of him, that is why the Bible says one person can chase a thousand and two people together can chase a ten thousand. In the end Moses died in the land of Moab and God buried him in a valley and no one knows his grave to this day.

Elijah was a prophet and he performed great and mighty miracles. Jezebel got angry with him and threatened him with death. Elijah cooly and completely forgot that he was a prophet and he started running for his life, he forgot what God had placed in the inside of him, he forgot all the miracles that he had performed, he forgot to call fire from heaven, had he called for fire from heaven Jezebels story would have simply ended, instead he prayed to God saying, It is enough Now Lord take my life for I am no better than my father’s. 1 Kings 19:4. Elijah hid himself in a cave and God asked him to come out of the cave and go his way and anoint two kings Hazael over Syria and Jehu over Israel and afterwards to anoint Elisha in his place. God said to Elijah whoever tries to escape the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill and yet there are seven thousand in Israel whose knees have not bowed to Baal. God knows the end from the beginning, because He is the beginning and the end. Elijah was highly protected in the natural physical realm by two kings, a prophet and seven thousand men that tells us that Elijah had the strength and favor of two kingdom’s, a prophet and seven thousand men and yet he was running for his life. In the end Elijah didn’t taste death as he feared, God took him away directly into heaven in a chariot of fire.

God knows much better about us than we know about ourselves, because he knows what He has put on the inside of us, He knows our weaknesses and our strength. Many of us when we go through problems and challenges we pray like Elijah Lord I cannot bear this anymore please take me away. Gods answer to such prayers is why do you want to enter into heaven before time? fulfill the plan and purpose for which you were sent on this earth, complete the whole journey and enter into heaven not as a worn out and defeated believer, but as a victorious and a successful believer.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. His own special people that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:9.
You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5
Heavenly Father thank You for the word, thank You for the gift of salvation, thank You for choosing, calling and adopting us as Your sons and daughters. Thank You for every good gift and talents that You have placed in the inside of us. Lord give us the grace to use everything that You have given to us and help us to do great and mighty exploits for the kingdom on this earth and bring name, praise, honor and glory to Your name with our lives in Jesus name we ask and pray.
Amen and Amen.
God loves you
Blessings
