I refuse to be ordinary, the bucks stops with me.

I refuse to be ordinary.The bucks stops with you

God says it. I believe it. That settles it.

John  14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.  14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

I refuse to be ordinary.The bucks stops with you

God says it. I believe it. That settles it.

Elisha refused to be ordinary, he got the double portion of the spirit of Elijah.

Today, Jesus said, if I believe i will do the works, He did and greater works.

I believe that settles it and will fast and pray to possess it.

Mark  9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Elisha pursue and possess.  No matter what others feel, you can pursue and possess your dream, once it aligns with God’s perfect will.

Elisha did.

2 Kings  2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.  2:10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.  2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.  2:12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.  2:13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;  2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

1 John  5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Whatever others feel about your dream is immaterial, when you are determined to bring glory to God in your life.

Jabez because more honourable than his mockers.  He believed God and prayed.

1 Chronicles  4:9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.  4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Hannah ended up having six children, she was not perturbed by what Penninah was doing.

1 Samuel  2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

God wants you to stand before kings.

Proverbs  22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

God wants you to be head and not tail. He wants you to be above only.

Deuteronomy  28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

God is magnified in your fulfilment according to His perfect willi.

Psalms  35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

You do not need the validation of any man whoever they are. 

God’s validation of you is sufficient.

Endeavor to be biblically saved and sanctified.

Pursue only what aligns with God’s perfect will and brings glory to His holy name.

Live continually with eternity in view and never ever gain anything at the expense of your precious undying soul.

God promised to give us desires of our hearts according to His perfect willi 

Psalms  37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Refuse to be ordinary, there is room for us all at the top.

Be another Elisha of this generation.

Receive anointing to do the works Jesus did.

John  14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.  14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Let us pray.
