Nothing is Lost
Many times in our life we may feel that what God has called us to do has ended because we did not move in time. The thing that God has given you to do is for you. God is waiting for you to come into divine alignment with him so that he can manifest that thing in you. I love that God puts desires in our heart for the ministry that he has given each of us. The seed sits inside of us waiting for us to plant it in our spirit and walk hand in hand with the Holy Spirit. The seed never leaves.
It reminds me of my garden, I have a variety of seeds to plant, but if I do not plant them I will not see the fruit. The seeds are actually packed away in envelopes in a box in my closet. The fruit of those seeds are not lost. The abundance of the fruit still sits in my closet. It is not lost; I just have to plant them in the right season. See, even my seeds have to be in alignment with the season or they will not grow!
Although we have the seed in us, if we are out of divine alignment with God it can’t manifest according to God’s plan when are not in alignment with him. Alignment: the act of aligning or state of being aligned. So how do we align ourselves with God? When apostle Paul was speaking to the Romans he said, I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. We align ourselves through the word of God by giving over our will to him.
In Proverbs it says to, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 We must make sure that we are acknowledging God in all that we do. That means to check in with him in everything. I have come to the place where when I get up in the morning I ask God, “What am I supposed to read in order to minister to my soul today? What would you like me to wear?” We must remember that we were brought here on assignment by him and for him. He gives us choices, but we have to choose to walk with him. We must also do as the word says to keep our heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23
Many times I will just listen to a message over and over again because I want that message in my thoughts and rooted in my heart. So I will repeat it. Think about the songs that you listen to. If you play them enough they will be in your head and on your heart, which will then be spoken out of your mouth. When we draw near to God, he draws near to us. Draw near to God and he will work through you that ministry that you thought was lost! Remember Moses was eighty years old when he became the leader of the Israelites. Do not give up on God!
Key points:
We align ourselves through the word of God.
We do not concern ourselves with what we see, or how things look. We keep our eyes on God.
What we say out of our mouths, is what we will reap in life. Keep your words aligned with God.
Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
