True Greatness!

2 Samuel 5:10
"David became greater and greater, for the Lord God of hosts was with him."

Many people seek to make a name for themselves.
They try to fit in with the "IN CROWD."
They seek to have their names exalted.
They go & buy best of everything.
They do whatever it takes to win the approval of others.
They trample on others just to get their point across.
They step on those weaker than they in order to achieve status.
They lie, cheat, steal, discourage & push others away.
They do not submit to authority except when it is convenient & to their advantage.
They claim to always be victimized.
They claim that someone else is always to blame.
They are easily offended when someone corrects them.
"THEY DO, THEY SPEAK, THEY REACT FOOLISHLY!"

All because they fail to realize that:
"GOD IS THAT ONE WHO EXALTS!"
"IT IS GOD WHO GIVES POWER TO PROSPER!"
"IT IS GOD WHO GRANTS FAVOR!"
"IT IS GOD WHO SETS SOMEONE APART!"
"IT IS GOD WHO MAKES SOMEONE STAND OUT!"

I know that today's message may seem a bit strong, but I felt stirred in my spirit to speak a word of correction for someone today!

Maybe you have been trying to do something with the best intentions.
But somewhere along the way, these symptoms appeared & got the best of you.
Maybe something happened & you felt the need to abandon all hope of God being on your side.
Maybe you believe that people are against you.

Whatever the case maybe, I just want you to know that:
"GOD HAS A PLAN & PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN!"
"GOD'S PLAN WILL EVENTUALLY SUPERSEDE YOUR AGENDA!"
"HIS PLANS FOR YOU ARE GREATER!"

"IT IS WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU THAT YOU ACTUALLY BECOME SOMEONE WORTH LOOKING TO!"
