Episode 1217 - Jarvis Kingston God doesn’t call the great; He makes them great. Trust His promise, step out in faith, and embrace the change

Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 12:3 Greatness isn’t about where you start but where faith takes you. Reflect on Abram’s journey: God doesn’t call the great; He makes them great. Trust His promise, step out in faith, and embrace the transformation ahead. STORY Bible in a Year: Abram and Sarai Scripture I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Genesis 12:3 What does it mean to be great? And how does one become great? God told Abram to leave the comforts and familiarity of his home, and He would make him “great.” We know very little about Abram before God called him on this adventure. We know very little about his background, personality, or previous accomplishments. That’s on purpose. God did not choose Abram because he WAS great. God chose Abram and promised to MAKE him great. Jesus gave a similar call to His disciples. He said, “Follow me, and I will MAKE you fishers of men.” It doesn’t matter who you were when God called you. He is far more concerned with who you will become once you follow Him. Abram said yes to God’s invitation to embark on a grand adventure. Following God would lead to terrors and triumphs beyond Abram’s wildest dreams. But faith and struggle are necessary in pursuit of greatness. Like Abram, we are called to be pilgrims and pioneers, stepping out in faith, even when the destination is unclear. His story is a testament to trusting God's promises and looking forward to fulfilling His purposes. It is about leaving behind the old and embracing the new, setting out on a journey that transforms us and, through us, the world. REFLECTION Consider what "Harans" you might be clinging to—the familiar things or places you are being called to leave in order to step into a deeper relationship with God. Ask yourself: “Am I missing out on great things in life because I am too content with the good things in life?” Share God’s story with the world 🗺️ 🌎 🌍 🌎 PRAYER And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. GENESIS 12:3 As the seasons of uncertainty and adventure begin… like Abram, give me the courage to move without hesitation. Give me the ability to see life through Your eyes so that the journey to my destiny doesn’t overwhelm me causing me to hesitate and miss what You have for me Lord. From this moment on I declare that I will move in faith and power as I take steps in the direction of my promised land, decreeing that everything my feet touch has already been established and given to me. I will not use manipulation and lies to try to protect myself or the ones I love but rather through honesty and trust in the Lord I know that everything will work out for my good. Thank You Jesus that even though, like Abram, I Try to take things into my own hands, Your grace and love is enough to redirect my steps and set me on the right path. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.🙏🏾Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jarvis-kingston--1517583/support.Repent and Get Baptized
