MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR GENERATION!!
"The Lord turn to him and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of Midian, HAVE I NOT SENT YOU?". Judges 6:14. After our conversation over the dinner table last night with a very special family, the Lord gave me these thoughts during my devotion this morning. History reveals that individuals who impacted their generations and affected the world most dramatically were those who, because of circumstance, pressure, or adversity: Challenged the tide of conventions, Stretched the boundaries of traditions, Deliberately violated the expectations of "status quo", Upset the mind of "the average", broke through the "accepted" in order to accomplish the unexpected. In another words they did something to fulfill their God-given destiny. Hey, SHATTER THE WIT OF THE NORM! Every person under the earth was born to make a difference and to add value to his/her generation. It is very unfortunate that many Christians resemble Gideon by concluding that because of their poor background they are going nowhere and they are amount to nothing. My friend, where you are is not your destination; it is just a bus stop to your destination in Christ Jesus. What does it mean to make a difference you may ask? well, it means you making a positive impact, you adding value to whatever resources God has given you, being a blessing to others, changing the world around you, being a solution and a hope giver and leaving a legacy of blessing and change when you leave the earth. Please don't leave the earth like an animal, eat- sleep-fight- Bhoom- you are gone. Look at the men and women in the Bible who impacted their generation. Joseph, David, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Esther, Ruth are few of them. Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Abrahan Lincoln and many others. OUR LORD JESUS HAD A VISION TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES- AND HE DID IT!! My friend "IMPACT YOUR GENERATION"- you are created to do JUST THAT!! Y'ALL HEAR ME? Yeah...YEAH.. GOOOOD!
