Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men (Matthew 5:13).
God told Abraham that He would make him
great, and in his seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed (Genesis
22:18). This is our heritage as Abraham’s seed; we’ve been set apart for
greatness; it’s our calling to be a blessing to this world and to effect
positive changes in it. You’re in this world as an agent of positive change.
If you never get to hear about it or know of
it, you may never become what God has made you. The first step is to know who
Christ is in you and who you are in Him. Having known this, the next thing is
to begin living accordingly. Look again at God’s idea. He said to Abraham,
"…I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy
name great; and thou shalt be a blessing" (Genesis 12:2). It wasn’t
Abraham who begged God, "Please, I want to be great; make me great";
no! God chose to make him great, and make him a blessing.
This means that whether or not you intended
it, greatness is God’s dream for you. God’s promise of greatness to
Abraham was also to Abraham’s seed, which is Christ (Galatians 3:16). Now, if
you’re born again, you’ve been baptized into Christ. That means you’re
Abraham’s seed, and therefore, an heir according to the promise (Galatians
3:27-29). You were born into greatness by virtue of your being in Christ. You
don’t need to struggle to be great; greatness abides in you now!
Live every day, with the mentality of the
great man or woman that you are. It’s our year of greatness, and those who are
born great have a way of thinking, talking, walking, and living. They don’t
grumble or complain; they make things happen! By the power of the Word and
ability of the Spirit, they effect changes.
Make great things happen in your life and for
others this year, and maintain the prestigious attitude of greatness that
befits your personality in Christ.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your
anointing is on me to take that quantum leap, and bring in new ideas and
innovations that’ll transform the lives of millions around the world
positively. Thank you for granting me the wisdom and grace to make great things
happen for others, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
