Thoughts of mediocrity makes mediocres, while thoughts of greatness makes great people (giants). There is a mindset that hems us into a mediocre and boring existence. It undermines our confidence and willingness to take positive risks and stretch our faith.
God's Word says:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he... Proverbs 23:7
...For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Matthew 12:34
Let's change the mediocre MINDSET TODAY:
The good news:
Everyone born again is special to God and must see himself as such.It is time you began to see the honour attached to the new man. You are not a biological accident. You are a creature of destiny.
You have a destiny.
Believe it. Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before you were formed in your mother's womb, I knew you and destined you..."Remember the song:
“You’re just too good to be true. Can’t keep my eyes off of you...” THIS IS WHAT GOD IS SAYING ABOUT YOU!!!!! Genesis 16:13a—Youare the God who sees me!
You cannot go unnoticed!
Luke 8:47 says, "Then, the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet." You are chosenby God (Colossians 3:12).
You are the apple of His eye.
Whoever touches you, touches the apple of God’s eye. (Zechariah 2:8, Psalm 17:8) You are God’s greatest desire. That’s whyHe speaks to us in our dreams (Job 33:14-16).
You have a high callling:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30
Do not despise yourself. Do not despise your calling. You are a star!
You are uncommon:
God rates you as a special treasure to Him....Ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people... Exodus 19:5
You are a peculiar specimen of God’s glory, a unique specie! You carry the kingdom of God inside you. Luke 17:21 tells us that the kingdom of God is within us. Your kind has never been before. You are not ordinary. You are peculiar. You have access to the divine nature of God here on earth; the abilities of God are available to you.
You have all things:
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:There are great promises for you:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:3-4You are a chosen generation:
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9You have unusual grace and abilities:
You are a priest and a king, and your priesthood and kingly dominion is to be manifested on earth. You are special!You are invaluable:
In the Creator’s eye, the entire world is not worth an exchange for your soul. You are of much value in the sight of God; you are a pearl of great price. You are so valuable, that it cost God the blood of His only begotten Son, to redeem your soul from perdition. You mean so much to God, you matter a great deal to His eternal purpose. So, stop despising yourself. The Bible says:For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20. God sent his only son to redeem you with His blood. The only beggoten died on your behalf
To further establish your great value, God declares: "He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye " (Zec. 2:8). You are the apple of God’s eyes. You are His beloved. Therefore, discover yourself and recover your birthright; because you are peculiar and have a peculiar mission here on earth.
You have a special assignment:...Every man hath his proper gift of God... 1 Corinthians 7:7
There is a proper assignment for you on earth, that why you are given your unique and proper gift. You have a special mission on earth. You are sent on a mission by Jesus Christ, even as the Father sent Him while He was on earth. Jesus Himself declared:God has an office for you to occupy and has endowed you with the gift you need for excellence in that office.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
You have been sent: You have been sent to proclaim Gods Glory, to bless your world, to be a light unto your generation. ...As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. John 20:21
You are in the class of Jesus. He has sent you. The world should say of you, "what manner of man is this?"
Conclusion You have all it takes. You have all it takes, you are empowered, you have been called. Locate it and stay in it. Every calling of God is a glorious calling. Every placement is a glorious placement, with the ultimate purpose of glorifying the called. Think greatness, Think excellence, you are Special.
...The works that I do shall he (you) do also; and greater works than these shall he (you) do... John 14:12
