Biggie Size It!
John 14:12...Greater Works
It is quite common for us to go into a restaurant and be asked ..”do you want to biggie size it?” Somehow it always seems like no matter what kind of resolve we have, we are no match for the power of the prize...to taste, eat and enjoy... give in to our cravings. Isn't it amazing that in spite of our nation’s war on obesity, we each face our own battle with food and drinks.
We have developed a taste for that which is unhealthy; things that have the potential to be detrimental to our health and rob us of our heritage...the good life...good to us but not for us.
Isn't it strange, however, perhaps unsettling, that when it comes to God and the things pertaining to the Kingdom, how little we expect. Many Christians live each day focused on the heaven and the hereafter. That in itself is not bad, but more importantly, as we prepare for eternity ...their focus should be more on "now"... today...tomorrow will take care of itself. We are told to occupy until he comes. St Luke 19:11. That means God expects us to take advantage of this life and the opportunity that has been afforded us as Kingdom people. To overcome whatever obstacles that have tried to prevent us from arriving at that place...our there...our place of purpose...our destiny. To make choices that will position each of us for greatness. The bible says in John10:10 that God wants us to have an abundant, full, vibrant life. We ought to expect and pursue the better job, the promotion, a better relationships, a better marriage, and a better standard of living...to live large.
We should do great exploits...we should expect to do greater things for God. St. Mark 16-17 these signs shall follow them that believe...in my name they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues; it's time to stop the madness...we need to realize the awesome power of God that we possess. It’s time to stop running and go on the offense and pursue. It's time to tap into the unused power...power of a great big sized God...not be held hostage by the past...but to move forward!
It's time for us to take the attitude I want it...I want it all! All THAT GOD HAS INTENDED FOR ME. Bigger...I want more....It's time to expand our expectations. I want life biggie sized...and I expect to receive it!
