Every City Shaker and Disciple Maker a Multitude
A healthy self-image is one of the key factors in the success and happiness of any individual. You will probably speak, act and react as the person you think you are, for as he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). Hence, start seeing yourself as God sees you, for He sees you – every City Shaker and Disciple Maker a Multitude!
Isaiah 51:2 says, “Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain, when he was but one I called him, then I blessed him and multiplied him.” First point is the abundant blessings and multiplication starts when you understand that you are called by God. Now, do you know personally that God has called you? Next, God aims to bless you first before multiplying you because God wants you to be blessed so you can be a blessing to others. Last, Abraham is only one when God called him and promised him he will become a multitude! Abraham, in spite of his old age and Sarah’s barrenness, believed this covenant. In Genesis 12:1-3, we can see Abraham, although satisfied and contented with his life, stepped out from his comfort zone and typical lifestyle to obey God. With this, we can perceive three viewpoints in Abraham’s life when he received God’s Promise. In v.19 of Romans 4:17-22, he as not being weak in faith, did not consider his own body already dead and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; he wasn’t discouraged. Bear this in mind: God can’t use discouraged people, so like David, you need to encourage yourself in the Lord. Be strong. In Joshua chapter 1, many times, these two words Be strong were mentioned. When you are encouraged, God can make a miracle in your life. Next, in v.20, he did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God! If you are in bad circumstances, the more you need to come closer to God and if you come to him, remove all your doubts for your doubts will only keep you away from God’s plans. God won’t fail you so trust in Him. Last and being fully convinced that what God had promised He was also able to perform it! Remember, if you can believe, all things are possible (Mark 9:23). Nothing can stop God!
