TODAY’S FASTING FOCUS: Agents of death catch fire;2 Kings 1:8-5
Everything about God is on a grand scale. God does not 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 vast, even though they look smaller to us than they are, because of the great distance. The entire universe is simply beyond description in terms of magnitude. All these are just minute pointers to the greatness of God. God is beyond excellent, and as His offspring, so should you be. It is said that the human brain can 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 who served God ultimately achieved greatness. Abraham, who was given up on having a single son, ended up having eight biological children. However, that was not all; through the covenant, Abraham's spiritual and biological offspring continue to multiply in millions to this day. That cannot come from a small God. Abraham was a great man, but Isaac became even greater, until he became very significant. (Genesis 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 worried because they were too great for him. (Numbers 22:1-5). Joseph went to a country as a slave and grew to become the prime minister there. The excellent 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 the enemy struck him. The enemy struck him.
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 rose from being a slave to become a 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 who your God is, and you will realize that you need to be more. Compare what you have achieved to what your God can do, and you will realize that you have not scratched the surface of His possibilities. Rise and take your place. You were created great by a great God; refuse to be small.
Prayer/Action
* Pray for the Spirit of greatness to rest upon you.
* Declare that over your family business and work greatness is your portion
* Ask the Lord to subdue everything that has been standing as an obstacle in your life and destiny.
