Tuesday I had the privilege to seize another opportunity to be a part of another level that God has called Elevation Church to take. The THR3E event was incredible! Like every Sunday, the church just showed up and then God showed out! There is no way to pull off something of that standard of excellence without God completely in control. I have been at a loss for words now for a couple of days. However, I do feel the need to share one of the many take-aways from the event.
Pastor Steven said that God’s will is not up for debate. This really hit home with me as I have been seeking direction for my future. It makes me think of the times in my life that God has placed opportunities before me and I would talk myself out of it before it had time to surface. As a follower of Christ you will always be challenged and stretched beyond your means. If not, then the impact that God wants to do through you will be limited and opportunities will be lost.
All that has happened at Elevation Church in the past THR3E years is in result to the leaders and volunteers putting things aside and working for one vision. When you focus on God’s vision you will see more clearly, when you focus on your own vision you will just walk astray.
So, as you go through trials or times of uncertainty I challenge you to stop and listen to what God is saying. Move forward and hang on for dear life. Overcoming your fears and doubts will prove that you trust God and truly desire what He wants in your life. Are you living your life according to what God wants you to do? Are you reluctant to make a bold step of faith even when God has already showed you? If you are struggling with these questions I challenge you to move beyond the barriers of mediocrity and step into the abundant life where God has been waiting for you all along.
