Be Great – Your God is Great

Tuesday 2 June
READ: Job 5:25-27
MORE LESSON: Job 8:7

Everything about God is on the greater side. God doesn't do His things small: whatever God does, even if it starts small, will never remain small. As big as the earth is, it is not the biggest planet God made. The planet Jupiter is about 20 times bigger than the earth. This is not to talk of the sun and stars which are created immeasurably big and vast, even though they look smaller to us than they are because of great distance. The entire universe is simply beyond description for magnitude. All these are just minute pointers to the greatness of God. God is beyond great and, as His offspring, so should you be. It is said that the human brain has the capacity to generate 3 million ideas per day, and one idea is sufficient to make you great in life. Every provision needed by man for greatness has been deposited in Him by the Great One. You have no reason to be small in destiny.

All the Patriarchs in the Bible that served God ended up great. Abraham, who was given up on to have a single son, ended up having eight biological children. But that was not all; through the covenant, Abraham's spiritual and biological offsprings keep multiplying in millions up to date. That cannot come from a small God. Abraham was a great man but Isaac became even greater till he waxed very great. (Gen 26: 13) Israel also became so much of a force in Egypt that Pharaoh was afraid that they would take over the land from him. When Israel was coming out of Egypt, King Balak of Moab saw them and was afraid because they were too great for him. (Num 22:1 – 5). Joseph went to a country as a slave and grew to become the prime minister there. The great man Job also, after being tested and cut down, rose and became great again. He eventually had seven sons, three daughters and twice the wealth he had before he was struck by the enemy.

David was so great that the nations around him were subdued under him. Solomon had wisdom and wealth greater than any earthly king before or after him. Esther also went to a kingdom as slave and rose to being the queen in the palace. Mordecai, from being a gateman, became one who rode on the king's horse and eventually he became the second in command in that country. These people are a collective testimony of men becoming great because they served a great God. You are serving the same God they served. Compare who you are today with whom your God is and you will realize that you need to be more. Compare what you have achieved to what your God is able to do and you will realize that you have not scratched the surface of His possibilities. Rise up and take your place. Your were created great by a great God, refuse to be small.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to increase your greatness on every side.
* Rebuke every force of smallness in your destiny.
* Ask that you will be a god on earth as God is in heaven.
* Prophesy on seven altars of your life to become great from today.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Oh God of my help, let this new month be filled with the rain of fulfilment on every side.
