Women!!!
Dont let yourself be half a testimony! I want to encourage each of you to not settle for the half a testimony, but rather be a person who goes for the WHOLE testimony.
In saying this, I dont mean that you each dont already have a testimony.. cause you certainly do!! Your lives are a living testimony of Gods love and grace. But never stop there.
God has placed a call on each of our lives, but you maybe fighting the looming question, ' Am I on track to fulfilling that call?'
Now a half-a-testimony women would say, 'Oh, no, I got offended along the way', or ' It got too difficult', or ' I couldn�t muster the energy to go the full distance'.
What ever the reply is, you put yourself down and believe you cant go the full distance in fulfilling that call He has placed on your life.
Heaven longs to "complete the good work" that was started in you! (Philippines 1:6) A person of strong resolve discovers what it takes to go the whole way.
And resolve is an amazing quality... Something I wish that I was better at, but He is showing me more and more about it all the time.
It simply means, to 'make ones mind up'.. to have purpose, intention, will, decision, determination and resolution, all qualities of endurance. And within 'resolution' we have the means to answer, explain, fix and make work again.
These all paint a very clear picture of someone.. each of you! that can be a person with the capacity to be successful and influential!
You maybe, like myself, be a half-a-testimony person who has received a promise, (there are many, MANY of them in the Word.. and I am continually finding them!.... I got the words 'I HAVE OVERCOME' written in big black letters across my computer monitor... no idea how I am gonna get there, but believe it to be a promise from God), you are excited and have written it down and stuck it in the front of your Bible.
Beautiful!
Fabulous!!
But here is the big question...... have you secured that promise yet??? If not, Do you actually know how you are going to obtain it???
Are you like me and many others and perhaps say, 'well no, I just figured in time... it would maybe, hopefully just drop out of the sky.'
Bzzzzz........ nothing just falls out of the sky! (except may a bird in the outback here from the summer heat hehe). Nothing just randomly appears like that.
God wants us to be actively involved in securing the promises that He has for us!! And you know what, His word is perfect in equipping us in securing our God given inheritance!!
Be a person of RESOLVE!! A person that is seeking to finish the story.
Dont let yourself be a person that sits at point A, wondering how on earth you are going to get to point B. Be a person of Resolve! that has you seeking the necessary tools and skills so that you can secure your destiny!
I feel it is something God wants us all to know. I just want to encourage each of you, Dont get down on yourself. Life is a journey and it takes time and effort to get places!!
You will grow... spiritually!! Yes it will be tough, we were never promised an easy journey! But oh, so worth it in the end!!! And I sooo believe we are all here together to help... support.. and encourage each other in our own journeys. We need to encourage each other to be people of resolve, where we make up our minds and run with it!
