Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

Many times when God sends us to a place, we will receive opposition. We often think, it is because of our race, gender, lack of education etc.. The reasons previously mentioned can be seen in the natural but the truth is that the enemy is after the word that you received.  The persecution that you are experiencing, is designed to stop you from receiving your harvest. 

God has called all of us to do a specific work or operate in a particular office. However, obstacles can at times, keep us from receiving or believing the calling.  God will always confirm this calling through supernatural ways because this calling is from above.  When He does so, we will know what we are called to do.

Manipulation is something that we use to convince people to do what we want. However, this tool that is not from God. It has a close association to witchcraft. We must learn to be lead by the Spirit of God and trust Him to work things out for us and not ourselves.

Jesus is sending us out as sheep among wolves. We must remain as a sheep and not transform into a wolf. God will give us wisdom on how to interact with wolves without harming or going for blood like wolves. We can always trust our Good Shepherd to keep us from harm if we obey His commandments.

God wants to use you for special purposes or special assignments however, you decide if you will be used for special assignments or  common usage.

If you do what God tells you to do, He will always provide for you or manifest Himself to You. This includes when provisions are drying up. He will use another source to provide for you.

God wants to use your personality to draw people to Christ. Discover examples in the Word  of God where Jesus used humor to draw people to Himself.

When we are down, God will send someone to give us an encouraging word. The word given to us brings life. It encourages our heart and lifts our spirit.

Often times our faith is operative as long as we can see hope. However, we lose faith at the death or the end of a situation such as divorce. God wants to show us that He is not bound by time or man's limitation.. Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life. 

Allow God to order your steps even when it seems as if you are at a deadens. He is still  ordering your steps. Do not get off the path and forfeit your destiny. Stay on the path and allow Him to order your steps.
