Isaiah 54: 2
Today I want to talk to you about, how something big is coming your way.
We serve a Big God, who has Big things for us, Big goals, Big vision, Big opportunities.
I heard about a law enforcement agent, a police officer who was once sketching something on his paper, about a security system, when he we went and provided the sketch to a Security system designer, they said it was an amazing system, they were amazed at his idea, and they will patent his product, and will provide him 7 Million dollars for the design. This is what God has in store for us.
Isaiah 54: 2 says, “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, Do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes
.
See what God is say, Enlarge, Stretch out, Do not hold back, Lengthen, strengthen your stakes, in the same way stretch out your faith, the next verse goes on to say,
For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
Pray for things that stretch out your faith,
Psalm 2:8 say, Ask of me, and I will give you the nations. Look at Gods big plan, Help buy a house for someone, someday. Lord help me to give more to you each year. Go out, expecting God to do something Big.
There was a man named, Jabez (name means trouble). He knew that God has something big for him.
He was bold to ask God to do something big, Lord enlarge my territory, in great ways.
Have u ever asked God, to do something big in your life?
When I was young, I knew that the solar system was the biggest thing, God ever created. Now, Scientist have discovered that, the stars are so big, that you can put the entire solar system inside a single star, that shows how big our God is. God created it all. God makes streets out of Gold. Every day in the morning, rise up and thank God for big ideas, the Big vision, the Big dreams, Big plans, else thanks God that I am going to be a big blessing to the people around me.
Always have a big vision in life. Life tries to reduce us, God tries to increase us.
God has unlimited supply, he is called the el - shaddai. God of the mountains, Gen. 28:3 says "I am God Almighty [El Shaddai]: be fruitful and increase in number"
God want you to own your own home, He is a can do God, if you will honor him with your life, he will honor you.
The Enemy does not want you to advance, there are forces working overtime to stop you.
We serve a supernatural God, God wants to increase you more than your normal salary.
I heard a man, who received a cheque from someone he does not even know, his close relative from a far, which he did not even think or imagine, that helped him to go to a whole new level, payout his debt, and buy a new home. Believe for great things.
There was a woman who was brought up in a dysfunctional environment, later through one of her friends in her neighborhood; she got to do high school. Then her dream was to study in Harward University one day, she mentioned in an TV interview. Hearing that, she got a call from Yale University one day, who were willing to give full scholarship to study, she took up that offer, completed college, now helping others win in their studies.
Let me tell you one thing, you cannot out-dream God, Gods dream for your life is bigger than your own, greater than you’ve ever imagined.
God thinks bigger, Gods dream is to make you happier, give you more peace, in your Business, Job, marriage and family life.
I heard of this man, who lost his wife, later he found a new wife, he had a happy life, later one day he wanted to buy some furniture for his home, but somehow he wanted to wait for the purchase, he put his trust in God, suddenly one day, out of the bloom he got a call from his son saying he won the lottery for 30 million dollars, and I am willing to buy new furniture and a eve new Car. God blessed than man, bigger than he expected.
By this, I am not asking to go and play the lottery and win. My dad, John Osteen said, if you win the lottery remember to tithe your income.
Deuteronomy 1: 11 says, May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!
When John Osteen started the Lakewood church, they had 90 people, now we have around 90,000 people coming to Lakewood every week.
John Osteen’s books sold a total of 10000 copies, but God allowed me to sell more than 10 Million copies.
God says, you have not touched the surface of what he has in store for you.
I want to light a new fire on the inside, new mountains to climb, new opportunities. Raise your level of expectations.
Dikembe Mutombo, one of 7 childrens, lived in village in Congo,a village with so much sickness - no hospital, no growth. Mutombo originally intended to become a doctor; he attended Georgetown University on a USAID scholarship. Georgetown Hoyas basketball coach John Thompson recruited him to play basketball. He spoke almost no English when he arrived at Georgetown and studied in the ESL program. God put a dream in his heart, there was something different about this young person. He completed medicine, and later became a star basket ball player for the Houston Rockets; He later donated 15 million dollars to build a hospital at Congo.
This shows how God has an amazing future lined up for you. Allow God to increase you, God has already lined up the right people to get everything you need. Do something big in your life. Ask God to enlarge your territory, favor like you’ve never seen before.
