GO, BE GREAT
Don’t give up; you were not built for that
Don’t settle, you are better than that
Don’t shrink back, now isn’t the time for that
Don’t cave in, you are greater than that
You are eternity wrapped up in time
And now is the time
To look internally
So that your eternal can shine
You are more than you have become
Your calling is higher than what you do
You are expected to achieve greatness
Because great is the God in you
No more just getting by
No more depression clouds
No more half-hearted tries
No wasting minutes allowed
Be as steadfast as the mountain
Yet, as agile as the river
God has filled you with greatness
And He expects you to deliver
Go forth and conquer
Make haste, you are late
The earth eagerly awaits
The display of your great

LIVING WATER:
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;”
-Romans 8:18-20 NKJV
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
-John 14:12-13 NKJV
POETIC INSIGHT:
There is more to you than you know. Lives will be impacted and circumstances will be changed by you. There are problems that haven’t been solved because you are holding the answer.
No one else can accomplish what you have been called to accomplish. Stop settling for mediocrity and stop flirting with the idea of throwing in the towel. When you accepted Jesus Christ and were filled with the Holy Spirit, you were filled with power. Destiny has called and the world needs you to answer. Go, be great.
WALK OUT THE WORD:
Think of an area in your life that you know you are underachieving in. Make one decision today that will help you achieve greatness in that area.
DO YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO GOD?
Romans 10:9-10 NKJV™ says:
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
This is a suggested prayer for salvation based on Romans 10:9
(Please pray out loud, whispering counts)
Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins and that God raised you from the dead. I ask you to come into my life now as my Lord, Savior, Master, and King.
