THE GREATNESS IN YOU

1 John 4:4 NLT But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

We may look at some people and think how ‘great’ they are; those who find cures for diseases, or feed the hungry, etc. But can I tell you, you have greatness inside you too!

The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you and me, if we’ve accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. In other words we have greatness in each one of us because of ‘Who’ is in us.😊

We often receive reminders on our phones to go to appointments or remember birthdays, etc. We need reminding! In the same way God knows we need reminding constantly of who we are in Christ, and what we now have ‘in Him’, and what we can do with His help.

John 5:19 NLT So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. Even Jesus knew His greatness was not His own. He totally depended on His Father, on the Holy Spirit within Him to do and say the right thing, to be at the right place at the right time.  So can we.😊

The potential He has placed in us is enormous but sometimes we forget just who we are in the spirit realm.  We have been born again of incorruptible seed by the word of God. The Creator of all things dwells inside our spirit. We have access to all God has - His wisdom, His counsel, His anointing and gifting are in us in His Holy Spirit, but Jesus said we have to be as humble as a child to be truly great in His kingdom, to serve others to be the greatest. (Matthew 18:4/ 20:26)

Let’s remember who God has made us to be, and get a vision of the greatness and power He has placed within us, at our disposal. Let’s use the gifts He has given us and not waste the greatness inside us.

As you walk through this unfolding week remember there is greatness in you, believe it, and release it into your world, in Jesus name. Amen.
