This year be yourself…everyone else is taken. It is when you
are content with who you are, how God made you and know it confidently, is when
you will begin to trust the gift that He has placed in you and it is released
unhindered. Do not be envious or jealous of another’s gifting and talent
because it will only lead to competition and covetousness. This year is your
year! This year is your year to know God so intimately that others will be
envious of the knowledge He has revealed to you to freely give away. This year
you will know God and grow strong and perform great exploits for the Almighty. He
will manifest through you this year so tangibly that you will begin to think
you are His favorite above all others….and you are, but do not lose sight of
the purpose and mission He has favored you for this year.
But the end of all
things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above
all things have fervent love for one another, for “love
will cover a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another
without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of
God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as
with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and
ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:7-11 NKJV
Having then gifts differing according to the grace
that is given to us, let us use them:
if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry,
let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in
teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who
leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without
hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with
brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; Be of the same mind
toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the
humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Romans 12:6-10, 16 NKJV
Now concerning
spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you
to be ignorant: There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are
differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of
activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation
of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of
all: 1 Corinthians 12:1, 4-7 NKJV
This year there will be, and it has already begun, a
changing of the guard, says the Lord. I am removing those who have not yielded
to My chastising and correction from the positions I have given them. It is
Mine to give and Mine to take. I will begin to raise up the no names and
unknowns, those who are of no reputation, to replace these positions and to
display My reputation. Mantles will be transferred from one individual to
another, and from one ministry to another, and from one nation to another. To
those I will exalt in the sight of all men, hear the word of the Lord – In this
time while you are little in your own sight, remember that it was I who exalted
you into positions of authority, and I manifested My anointing upon you. It is
My splendor which I will place upon you that will bring perfection and release
you on the mission I will assign to you. Remember the assignment and do not
stray from it. Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, says the Lord.
This year it is all hands on deck. We are all being called
to active duty. No one will be allowed to go AWOL. There is no grace to be AWOL
this year. Answer the call to duty when you receive it. Go check on your
neighbor to see how they are doing. Visit your co-work in the hospital or in
the jailhouse, but this year invest time in others. Step out in faith and God
will manifest His power through you and demonstrate His mighty acts, miracles
and wonders in the sight of those to whom He sends you to. Amen.
Receive this blessing:
Blessed are you by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And blessed be God Most High,
who defeats your enemies for you.
Genesis 14:19-20
Samuel
