The longing for greatness....

Ever wondered why people hunger for the taste of victory?


Why the football team strives to win the big game?


Why the athlete trains day in and day out to be in 
the spotlight of glory for at least one shining moment?


Perhaps because we were created for greatness....

Our original glory, which reflects our maker, was destined to 
do more than work 9-5 jobs, sleep in on the weekends 
and enjoy a vacation once in awhile....

We were made to rule....

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,a and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

You were born to do something amazing....

You have specific talents and gifts that equip you for the 
plans God has reserved just for you to accomplish.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12Then you will call on me and come & pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

BUT....this world is at war with an enemy that will
distract and discourage you in the hopes that
you NEVER realize you are part of something bigger...

For you are an heir to God's glory....

you are destined for royalty...

you are meant to be part of a Kingdom that has no end.

A Kingdom that contains the power to overcome the enemy
and the world he has control over for a time....

You are a threat when you accept the call to greatness!


What say ye?
