Greater Works ~ Morning Mannah

Yesterday Pastor Mike talked about taking the limits off. I kinda laughed when he mentioned that he'd never heard a bird not chirp, a dog not bark, or a snake not snake. Animals do what they are supposed to do. Often, as humans, we do what we want to do. 

Sometimes I think God gets frustrated because He has so many amazing plans for us and we, with all of our freewill, a gazillion options and way too many influences, often choose easier tasks or more attractive options. Only later to wonder why things didn't go right. Why is this job or career not fulfilling me? How come this relationship isn't working out the way I thought it would? However, if you take a step back and take time to know God for who He is and study His word you would realize that He never wanted those things for you in the first place.

Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and those things will be added. God will add those gifts, those opportunities, and those relationships that he intended for us in eternity. As God adds those things, guess what you'll be able to do? A greater work.

It says it right there in John 14:12 (NLT) - "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

Can you imagine doing greater works? Can you imagine your gift making room for you? Years ago I was watching Steve Harvey preach on TBN. He described your gift as that thing that you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort. Your gift is that thing that you do in excellence. It's something that you just do. 

I encourage you to seek God first. Let Him add those desires of your heart. Tap into your gifts. Believe in Jesus and go out and do greater works. 

Is it too hard to believe that you can feed thousands? Or to assist the homeless and those enduring hardships? Is it too hard to believe that you can fight injustices or challenge leaders to do what they promised? Nothing is too hard for God. It's not hard to believe if you believe in Jesus. You were created to be the answer to someone's problem. 

Take the limits off. Level up. Remember when God is in it, there is no limit.
