🍒🌽SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

DATE: SATURDAY JULY 27TH, 2024.

TOPIC: NO COMPARISON IN DESTINY.

SCRIPTURE: For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 2 CORINTHIANS 10:12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You will never attain greater heights in life if your yardstick of measuring success is comparing yourself with others.

It has been confirmed that no two individuals are exactly the same. Everyone has their own unique set of talents, gifting and potentials. That is why to compare yourself with people is to limit yourself in life and destiny.

A major hindrance to attaining greater heights in life is that of comparing oneself with others. You will never attain greater heights in life if your yardstick of measuring success is comparing yourself with others.

There are people that the earth is clapping for (because of their seeming success) but heaven is crying for them. How unfortunate it would be for the same people to be your yardstick of measuring success.

People may see someone’s seeming success and say, “This man is highly successful; he has defeated everyone; he has really won in life.”

But heaven’s verdict about him may be, “He hasn’t started yet.”
I read in a book many years ago about a great evangelist who saw all manner of great results and exploits in his ministry.

There was a time he had an explosive crusade in South Africa that recorded greats healings and miracles. When he saw these mighty works of God, he said, “The world is under my feet now.” Probably, he thought that because of the massive results and crowd turnout in that crusade, he was now on top of the world. He felt he had done what no one else had ever done. He was comparing his results with the previous exploits of other people.
Sadly, that was his last crusade.

After that massive and impactful crusade, he became incapacitated and confined to a wheel chair.

What a tragedy!
While I was reading this story, the LORD told me, “The man stopped where he was meant to start.”

Beloved, God’s measurement of impact is not just physical results, but the ratio of “your potential” over “your expression.” It is the ratio of what God put inside you versus what you pushed out.

Therefore, make up your mind to press deeper into God to fulfill His Purpose for your life. Do not compare yourself with anyone; rather, compare yourself with how far you have been able to fulfill God’s Purpose for your life. Aim high and set greater targets.

Refuse to end where and when you are meant to be starting. Let no man’s results be your yardstick for measuring your success in life and destiny.

Remember this: You will never attain greater heights in life if your yardstick of measuring success is comparing yourself with others.

ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to compare your results in life with other peoples’ results and achievements.

2. Compare yourself with the rate at which you have been able to fulfill God’s Purpose for your life.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from any tendency for comparing myself with people around me. I receive the grace to aim higher in the fulfilment of Your Purpose for my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: GOD’S SAFE PLACE!

READ: Psalm 91:1-16 (KJV)

KEY VERSE:
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” - (Psalm 91:1).

MESSAGE:
Scientists at the US Department of Health and Human Services have said that in the event of a nuclear blast, survival in an underground bomb shelter is guaranteed for only a few months. They claim that such isolation ensures protection from “the...intense...and the higher levels of radioactive fallout you are at risk of exposure to.” You must also enjoy “proper supplies and air filtration” to see you through the quarantine.

Contrast man’s atomic bunker of severely limited capacity to protect from death with that of the “secret place of the most High”. God says if you dwell in His shelter, you will be abiding “under the shadow of the Almighty,” beyond the reach of any danger, whether posed by thousands of the troops of the enemy or by perpetrators of evil forces under the cover of the night. The psalmist arrays quite formidable physical and spiritual foes that would trouble man. But he says they cannot come near those taking refuge in God.

This is good news for humanity, which has been locked in the throes of fear and helplessness for ages. Initiative after initiative by governments and their think tanks have not offered succour. This is because they have not looked toward the secret and sacred place where God promises unlimited deliverance and safety. This assurance is most comforting against the backdrop of growing dangers and conflicts in our world today.

The call on all who “labour and are heavy laden” to come for rest in God is still open. The rest He gives is through salvation brought by His Son Jesus Christ. As we receive Him as Lord by faith, He builds a fortress in which He hides us here on earth, ahead of His return, to take us to the final resting place He has prepared for us in heaven.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
No harm can befall you in God’s secret place!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 37-38
