MESSAGE
You can never possess mountains for God unless you have a positive attitude. Though the word of God says that you can possess the nations for your inheritance, you can be like the rest 10 spies who say we cannot possess the land and they perished in the end.
But Caleb had a positive attitude, the word of God said, but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. Numbers 14:24 KJV
Your generation is waiting for the manifestation of the grace of God in your life. You must however have a positive attitude to come into this fulfilment. The attitude that believes that God can, will see God work in an unusual way through you.
Although Philip was primarily ordained a deacon to serve tables, his attitude towards soul-winning brought many souls to the kingdom of God. He was not satisfied being an ordinary deacon, he became an active evangelist.
That is the attitude that wins. Don’t just settle to be an ordinary Christian, strive to be used mightily by the Lord. Jesus said, greater works than these you will do but you must have the attitude that believes the word of God.
Finally, the Lord said, all things are possible to those who believe and the following signs will follow them: they will heal the sick, they will cast out devils, they will speak with new tongues, they will not be harmed by poisons and so on (Mark 16:17-18). Do you believe it? Then, this promise is yours – you can do those greater works for God.
REFLECTION
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Matthew 8:13 KJV
Faith is a positive attitude, therefore Christian who will do greater works for God must be a radical man or woman of faith.
PRAYER
Father, please boost my faith in You and the authority of the scriptures to guide me in my ways.
