Have you ever looked inside a clock?
Seeing all of the cogs moving around, each responsible for doing something.
If you were to remove the smallest most insignificant looking cog, the clock wouldn't work.
Have you ever believed that you are too small to be relevant to have any meaning or purpose?
To God, everyone is relevant, with a God-given purpose.
The Church, the body of Christ, there are many parts but each one has its own important part to play.
As every piece of our human body is important, so is each role within the body of Christ.
We all have a purpose in the Body of Christ, we all function to keep it working, even the smallest part is important.
God chose David, the least of his family, the youngest and seemingly unimportant, a shepherd, to be a king over Israel. In God's eyes, David was an essential person with an ability to move in the strength of God.
As God had a plan for David so God also has a plan for you.
You may feel small but that is not how God sees you.
David killed a giant because he went to battle "In the name of the living God."
An Angel called Gideon a mighty warrior. Gideon said, "How can this be?" He came from the smallest clan in Israel and he was the least in his father's house.
But God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Gideon trusted and obeyed God. He led an army of three hundred and beat an army so big it was without number.
Gideon was a very small cog in his family, clan and country; even the smallest, most insignificant person is vitally important to a God of grace, they can be led to have great victories over every stronghold.
God sees everyone in Christ as VIPs.
You may be the next warrior to be visited by an Angel and given a mission!
If you are called by God, don't worry, He will stay by your side: the humble will be exalted and the self-exalted will be humbled.
Feeling Small, insignificant or irrelevant? Well, you are NOT. In God's eyes you are so important, a member of the body of Christ which in its self is an honour and privilege.
The smallest person on this planet could be his next great prophet, warrior or even lead the next great revival.
You can do anything through Christ Jesus who strengthens you.
​
The enemy can try to steal your strength, block or hinder you from walking in ALL that the Lord has for you, but he can't succeed unless you give him authority. The enemy has NO authority in a believer’s life. Everything is under your feet!
The Word of God says you are sealed by His Spirit. No other spirit has place in your life unless you invite it in. Jesus gives you life and not in half measure but in ABUNDANCE, until it overflows!
​
Paul writes to the church in Ephesus "Be strong in the Lord, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places." The enemy will do whatever he can to stop you from hearing and walking in the will of God. He wants to destroy the life and testimony of every Child of God, to stop you living the life that the Lord has planned for you. He wants you to walk ignorant of God's word and purpose in your life. Be encouraged today to lift the Word. To receive what God has for you and to live it through the power of His spirit. Whose report will you believe today? The Lord does not want you to be discouraged, depressed or stressed. His children are to walk in His anointing. It's not that you make yourself walk encouraged and joyful because you can't!! The Lord is fully aware of your limitations and He knows you can do nothing of yourself that's why He says come to me.... COME!!! He will fill you with every good thing. With the abundant life, love, joy, peace....
His desire is that you walk in HIM, His leading, His anointing, His power and in His glory. Walk in the power of HIS might and not your own. His divine power hath he given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him 2 PETER 1:3.
The resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead is alive in you. He quickens you and moves you. Christ is truth! He is desiring to give you an ABUNDANCE of life today.
Open your heart to receive as you enter into His presence with thanks giving and praise for all that He has done for you thus far. He does not disappoint! He is the same yesterday, today and FOREVER!!!
