“If racing against mere men makes you tired,
how will you race against horses?
If you stumble and fall on open ground,
what will you do in the thickets near the Jordan?
Not one of these plotters from Anathoth will survive, for I will bring disaster upon them when their time of punishment comes.”
Jeremiah was impatient to wait out and see the plan of God. Jeremiah 12:1-4, Jeremiah seeks swift justice despite what God had already promised. The end of plotters from Anathoth has been determined. However, they seemed to prosper and producing fruit. This rub off Jeremiah in a bad way kind off. Jeremiah complained to God regarding the prosperity of the wicked. Verse five is Gods answer to Jeremiahs impatience. The answer does not address Jeremiahs questions directly.
You desire to understand God and have answers to everything. He wants you to trust and believe him always...
You want the reasons for COVID 19 - yet the Lord wants you to have faith.
“used with reference to two things that are fundamentally different and therefore not suited to comparison.”
The problem with dreams is that they are framed by the known and therefore the always introduce a sense of limitation or some kind of glass ceiling. The things that God wants to do has not entered the mind or heart of man. Therefore, benchmarking introduces a sense of Limitation and therefore contradicts God.
The sin of benchmarking! Benchmarking determines your altitude. In a sense that you are scored based on the known. You are only as good as the standard set. Living the life of the kingdom requires us to live outside the system of this world, we’re we have no limitations.
Principle: Things of the kingdom cannot be benchmarked at least by humans. That is like comparing apples to oranges, both are fruits but they are not the same.
Why you must fix your eyes on Jesus Christ
Benchmarking, focus on you against the world. The bible teaches that we must Focus on Christ. Not ourselves. We don’t preach about ourselves, but Christ. Be determined to know nothing but Christ crucified.
The danger of looking at what God is doing in other peoples lives is that If God dealt with all of us according to what we deserve, non of us will be here. What you see in other peoples lives is the grace of God, and therefore you cannot compete with grace.
The non believer see the extension of Gods grace daily as God allows prosperity in their lives.
The believer on the other hand has to partner with God and work in tandem with the grace of God. The believer has to work in tandem with the anointing
As a believer you move into a dimension were you run out of luck and begin to create successive breakthrough by the power of God working mightily in you. The life I now live, is be faith in Jesus Christ.
