You have the treasure

“It’s all right… don’t be afraid.  Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks…”

Genesis 43:23

God has given you the treasure, however, you must be willing to put the effort in of seeking it.

All of Him is yours

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.  On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds…”

2 Corinthians 10:4

Notice – not just power, but Divine Power! Hence, God: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in ONE.  

All of Him, and his divine power, is yours to conquer all the forces of darkness… yes, ALL of Him is yours.  Now go and conquer.

When we seek God...

“…Then the righteous [those who seek the will of God] will shine forth [radiating the new life] like the sun in the kingdom of their Father…”

Matthew 13:43 AMP

When we seek God, we shine with his glory for all the world to see.

It's our turn to bless God

^10-13 David blessed God in full view of the entire congregation:

Blessed are you, God of Israel, our father
    from of old and forever.
To you, O God, belong the greatness and the might,
    the glory, the victory, the majesty, the splendor;
Yes! Everything in heaven, everything on earth;
    the kingdom all yours! You’ve raised yourself high over all.
Riches and glory come from you,
    you’re ruler over all;
You hold strength and power in the palm of your hand
    to build up and strengthen all.
And here we are, O God, our God, giving thanks to you,
    praising your splendid Name.

1 Chronicles 29:10-13The Message (MSG)

Now it is our turn.  Let’s lift our hands and bless God out loud! 

For all he’s done for us, it’s the least we can do!

Wholeness and redemption

“… the worship of God is the indispensable foundation for living whole and redeemed lives.”

Graciously quoted from +The Message, by +Eugene H Peterson (pg. 572)

Wholeness and redemption come by the believing in, worshiping of and the receiving of God: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You were made to do great things!

"I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even great things than these, because I go to the Father." John 14:13 AMP

Thanks be to Jesus, you were made to great things in this life! Jesus didn't want His believers to live a boring, selfish, desperate, hard, life. No, Jesus wants believers in Him to change the world for the better; to live in peace, joy, abundance, security, and, most of all, love. 

My friend, Jesus has put ideas, talents, gifts, and opportunities in your life for a reason!  So, do something about them.  Yes, you may be limited, but if you begin to put your best foot forward, stay focused on Jesus, (not on yourself or the world), then the Spirit will come and do the rest.  Do not discount yourself - ever!  You have dreams and visions for your life because God has given them to you; in Him, you can make those dreams and visions come true.  So, go for it.  Change this dark world for the better, and be the great man/woman of God that He has made you to be!!
