We Are The Measuring Stick

Mark 4:24-25 says: And He said unto them, Take heed what you hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Did you catch that about the measure? What he is saying is that WE ARE THE MEASURING STICK when it comes to what we can believe and what we can receive!

Two people can hear the same scriptures, on say, healing or prosperity and there will be two different outcomes according to what we choose to believe about it.

Those that take the Word giving much study and thought to it - receiving it with joy and faith - will get what they are believing God for.

The same with the person who decides that he will read it once and "just try it". If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't and will say "I told you it doesn't work!"

They will receive what they are believing for - absolutely nothing and then blame the Lord for it.

You cannot receive beyond what you believe and you cannot believe beyond the Word you have stored in your heart. Romans 10:10

It's time my friends, to Study the Word with Diligence to show thyself approved - 2 Timothy 2:15

Go For It!!!

As a young adult pastor....

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19 KJV)

God has been revealing more and more to me as my relationship with Him grows and prospers. This is not unusual seeing as we should be moving from faith to faith

. As a young adult pastor it’s important that I move from faith to faith and glory to glory. I need to prosper in my releationship with God so I have something to give out to others. The lost and dying depend on us to take our relationship with God seriously and to make His name known to them.

Each and everyone of us are called out and set aside to do something for the kingdom of God. You have a purpose, no matter who you are, God wants to use you! I used to ask myself “Is what I’m doing really helping anyone?” “Am I really accomplishing anything for the kingdom?” I can say with assurance now YES! No matter what lies satan tries telling me I can always be assured I’m manifesting God in what I do.

How can I be sure of this? Simple, being successful in kingdom work is not based on what you do. It’s based on your willingness to listen and obey the Holy Spirit. it’s not based on works it’s based on obedience. So no matter what God has called you to don’t lightly esteem it, or think its not important! Don’t compare it to what other people are doing. But instead measure your success on if you are listening and being obedient.
