BORN TO BE GREAT (2)

1 Chronicles 29:12 KJV [12] Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Something is responsible for greatness. The source of a thing determines it’s greatness. Great rivers take their source from small rivers. The Bible talks of the Assyrian, a cedar in Lebanon. A tree with high stature. The waters made it great. Things don’t just happen. What you are connected to determine how far you grow. A tree that is not properly connected to the soil cannot last. It is when it is deeply connected that it can take root downward and bear fruit upward.  God is our Source. Greatness can only be accessed through Him.  When you delight in the law of the Lord and meditate in His law day and night, you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever you do will prosper.

While others may choose to plant and nurture the seed to its full potential.  No man can rise beyond his level of knowledge and understanding. No one stumbles into greatness, you work at it. How we attain greatness is very important. Some think they can pull down others, kill, cheat, lie, impersonate to attain greatness. It will be short lived.  What is your definition of greatness?  Is it your possession, your level of influence in this social media age or fulfilling God’s purpose for your l

SEEING DEEPLY

  Psalm 119:18 KJV [18] Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. The person that made this statement had his eyes opened. He can see the letters but needs supernatural illumination. God will not do what is humanly possible. When you close your eyes and pray that God should open it, you will be there until you are tired. The person that is asking God to open his eyes is asking for insight and revelation. He wanted the spirit behind the letters. He knows that the word is spirit and life. According to 2Cor3:6 the letter kills but the spirit gives life.  Looking is a physical act of moving your eyes to see something while seeing involves understanding what you are looking at. It is not everyone that sees well. Jesus spat on a blind man’s eyes and put His hands on him. He asked the man what he saw. He said I see men as trees, walking. He put His hands on him again and he was restored.  Looking is simply the act of directing your eyes towards something. Seeing,
