YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS
There's more to you than you already know,what can be seen now and what you know about yourself is only as it obtains in the now.God testifying about Himself in Jeremiah said I know the thoughts that i think towards you,thoughts of Good and not Evil to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE.Recently,i was trying to estimate how much i was worth Financially and i realised that if i calculated everything i presently owned(tangible things)they were still in the realm of thousands,however our life's worth is not determined by the abundance of possession we possess.Do you know that what you are to bring on the world stage has never been witnessed in the history of this world? No wonder Paul the apostle when writing to the Corinthian Church said 'it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him'.YOu are more than what the balance in your account reflects, more than the grades your academic profile reflects,more than what the world says you are.While Jesus was here he admonished the disciples by making them realise food,clothing,shelter were the delight of the unbelievers but for us he asked:Is not The Life more than this? Do not Judge your Future by the things which are seen.There's so much in store for you.You might have made some mistakes in the past,nevertheless He has promised to restore us,he has promised be merciful to your unrighteousness and your iniquity would be remembered no more.He restored David,Samson.Just like was mentioned yesterday, you were made in the class of God,delivered from the power of Darkness and traslated into the Kingdom of HIs dear Son.You are seated with him far above all Principalities and Powers.You have been entrusted with Great and Precious promises and have been made partakers of the Divine nature.
THe charge today is for us to detach from the present realities of our time and focus on the unseen things.The things which are seen are temporal but the things which are unseen are eternal.While Jesus was tormented on His way to Golgotha,he said not a Word,He focused on the Joy that was set before Him.You are more than THis.
Central Truth:Your worth is not determined by the Current realities but by the Mass of Greatness on your Inside waiting to be unleashed.

Interesting spin and approach to the 'Word of Faith' theology. You teach the realization and activation of the 'greatness within', yet the Word teaches something quite different all throughout, but can be best summed-up in Philippians 2 - 5 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross." - - - So lets see,... activate the 'Greatness within You" gospel that you are teaching,... or come under the humble and lowly 'Make Yourself of No Reputation (greatness)' gospel, and push obediently ahead to the Death of the Cross?..... hmmmm,... think I'll stick with the Word pal, thanks.
