TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

I'm sure that there are other pilgrims like me who desire to please God always. There is this burning desire in the hearts of some saints for a greater and deeper dimension of God. We want to tap into deep things of the spirit, to decode mysteries of the Word of God, to burn like an unquenchable wildfire, to take cities and nations for our God, to ignite revival everywhere we go, to win souls in thousands and millions, to be a tool for societal, national, and international transformation. The question is, why does it just end with the desire? Why can't we actualize it?

I for one have been a victim of complacency. I was comfortable with the status quo, no need to press further, things will gradually fall in place effortlessly. I've come to realize that that's a wrong ideology. Believe me, life can be frustrating if you're not having any impart anywhere. The Bible says "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" not to sleep over it. No one has attained any major breakthrough without diligence and discipline. We need to wake up from the delusion that God would handle everything and come to the realization that we also have a role to play in destiny. Spiritual growth is not magical but practical.

I have never heard of advancement without the discipline of preparation. If we are not faithful in the little things, the great are sure not going to come our way. It's disheartening how people settle for others praying for them and also feeding them the word. Nothing outweighs a personal revelation you have of God and His Word. The process of spiritual growth cannot be delegated. Learn to feed yourself. Joyce Meyer once said "cast your cares on Him, not your responsibility" selah.

God is sovereign but He won't do all things but He won't pray for you. He won't study the Bible for you, He won't attend seminars and meetings to perfect your talents and skills, He won't start up that business for you. No He won't! We've been so accustomed with the grace of God that we miss its essence. Grace crowns our efforts not our laziness. You can't sleep your way to manifestation. If God has blessed you with a talent, always remember that there's a responsibility that goes along with the blessing. 

May we not be alive and someone else will do that which we ought to have done. The pain of discipline is always better than the pain of regret. Many people have missed divine opportunity because they weren't prepared; do not let your story end that way. Now more than ever we need to put in extra in whatever we are called to do because time is rounding up.

Be responsible!!
