Don’t Limit God – He has great plans for you – take the limits off
Don’t limit God and what He wants to do in your life. HAVE YOU PUT LIMITS ON GOD?
If money, time, age, and ability didn’t matter, if there were no limits, — what would you do, what could you do? Today I am challenging you to take the limits off!
Are You Thinking Too Small?
Too many of us have put limits on what God can and wants to do through us. Our thinking is too small. We have let the devil convince us we aren’t good enough, smart enough, talented enough, or rich enough to do the things that are in our hearts to do. As a result, many have given up on the dreams and visions God wants them to pursue. HAVE YOU PUT LIMITS ON GOD?
God Has Great Plans for Your Life!
If you see yourself as nobody special, a loser, failure, not qualified, etc. then you’re putting limits on God. Listen, God never made you to be a loser. He has plans for you that are greater than anything you have experienced and even beyond anything you can think or dream. (Eph. 3:20). God has made you for greatness.
What is Greatness to God?
Now, what the world calls greatness and what God calls greatness are two totally different things. Greatness in God’s eyes is fulfilling the divine purpose He has assigned you.
1 Corinthians 3:13 (GW) says, “The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done.” This verse says that everyone’s work will be tested for what kind it is, not what size it is.
Your Were Created to Shake Your World
Not everyone is intended to do something that makes them famous and powerful. However, everyone has been created by God to shake their world. You are supposed to make a difference in your world, that is in the areas in which you have influence in – your family, neighborhood, school, workplace, community, etc.
Don’t Compare Yourself with Others
Don’t compare what you do with what others do. This is another way we can limit God in our lives. 2 Corinthians 10:12 tells us, “they that measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves among themselves, are not wise.”
Don’t Limit God – He is Great!
Here’s the thing, God is GREAT! He is infinite, all powerful, all might, never changing…2 Chronicles 2:6 says, all of the universe cannot contain Him. This all might, powerful God lives on the inside of you. He wants to help you do great things. There is “Nothing impossible with God”! (Luke 1:37) There is “Nothing impossible for those who BELIEVE!” (Mark 9:23)
Take the Limits Off God
It’s time to take the limits off God and believe and to go after that dream and that vision God’s put on the inside of you. It’s time to see what you have been believing and praying for to come to pass. You might be needing a financial breakthrough or for your marriage to be restored, or for your body to be healed, or for some other thing to happen. You have to change your thinking.
Meditate on God’s Word
The way this happens is by meditating on the Word of God until you begin to see what you are believing for on the inside of you, until all doubt and unbelief are erased, and your heart is filled with faith.
Change Your Thinking
You have to get your thinking in line with what God says, not what the circumstance says or what others say. The things you are experiencing in life today (good or bad) are a result of the way you have been seeing them in your mind, in other words what you have been thinking. (Prov. 23:7).
Knowing the Will of God
For your thinking to be right it has to be in line with the will of God. Ephesians 5:17 says, “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” The Lord wants you to know what His will is, but in order to receive that understanding, you have to take off the limits. Don’t limit what you think God can do through you, because you are a new creation (2Corinthians 5:17), and you can do all things through Christ (Phil. 4:13).
Take the First Step
I’m encouraging you to stop limiting what God can do in your life by getting your thinking right. Begin to see yourself the way God does and quit comparing yourself with others. Give God something to work with. He can only bless what you set your hand to (Deut. 28:8) You won’t get there overnight or in a single step. But take the first step, then take the next step and the next. Before you know it, you’ll begin to see greater things happen in your life. Don’t limit God!
God wants to do great things in you and through you, so believe God for the impossible. Remember God has a breakthrough for you!
