Do not limit God
Our wrong belief systems can limit God in our lives.
Proverbs 23:7 tells us that as the man things in his heart, so is he . The way we think decides the way we live our lives (Romans 12:2).
God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and He wants to do absolutely miraculous things in each of our lives
( Jer 29:11; psalms 139:14) !! God has called you for something beyond yourself and reach the people around you; The people in your sphere of influence like your family members, neighbours, friends and co-workers. ‘Yeah, they turned back and tempted God and limited the holy one of Israel’ Psalms 78 ;41. None of us have exhausted, Gods ability, resources, and power for our lives.
God is infinite and huge! And he calls us to do something that is beyond yourself ! ‘For you, see your calling Brother , how that not many wiseman after the flesh , not many mighty, not many noble are called’ 1 Cor 1:26 .
Healing is one area where we can limit God .
According to 3 John 2, God does not want a sick yet we often limit God in how he can heal us. ‘And Moses was 120 years old when he died and his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated’ Deut 34:7 . If God will do that for a person in the old covenant, imagine how much more he will do for those of us, who are under the new covenant !! We limit God by thinking that things have to be a certain way just because that is the way others are experiencing it. ‘If thou shall say in thin heart, these nations are more than I ; how can I dispose them?’ Deut 7:17 . When the Israelites doubted God’s promise , they limited God and He couldn’t drive out the enemy nations ( Heb 4:2) For the good news was preach to us as well as to them . But the word preached did not benefit them because it was not mixed with faith in those who hear it. ( 2 cor 10:12)
Some of you are praying for your life to be different, and you have no joy. You are depressed because you are not doing what God called you to do. God is pulling you one way, but you have decided to go another since that is what you have learnt so far from the world, from others!
God wants to flow through you …. ‘ now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that work in us.’ Eph 3:20
‘But you will love and build yourself up in your most holy faith ; pray in the Holy Spirit .’Jude 20 . Likewise, in the area of finances too, we are given the choice. We do not have to let the world dictate over our finances. Our finances are dictated by heavens economy, not the system of this world . If we are average, that means we aren’t good or bad, we are lukewarm (Rev 3:16).
Believer should be doing better than the average person since Jesus died to deliver us from the present evil world( Gal 1:14) . God said we Are the head and not the tail ( Deut 28:13)
We are supposed to be rejoicing in the midst of our problems. There is no excuses, but there are reasons we face certain problems.
