If you are not careful and continue to doubt your capabilities, you will start to believe that what you have is not enough. You will begin to think you are unqualified for that next phase you desire.
Don’t Disqualify Yourself
You are someone’s destiny helper. Someone needs you to apply faith. Persistent faith.
In Acts 3, Peter told the man who people carried to the temple gates to beg for money: “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
Peter “took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.” – Acts 3:6-8 NKJV
Peter gave what he had and it was enough to transform the man’s life of struggle from birth.
What did Peter have? He had faith in the name of Jesus to change the man’s life so that he could walk. And he did! Peter knew that he carried the miraculous power of Jesus. What Peter had was enough.
Peter was the man’s destiny helper.
Peter was a vessel used by God, a carrier of faith and power. At the mention of the name of Jesus, things change, destinies shift, miracles happen.
“It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him” – Acts 3:16 NIV
Peter did not give him what he was used to receiving from other folks (alms). Instead by faith and in the name of Jesus, he gave him something else: undeniable freedom – the ability to walk and leap; something he didn’t experience since birth!
What you carry is enough to set someone free. Don’t delay the implementation of that assignment and gift the Lord has given you.
