For many years i kept asking “Why would someone ask God for a mountain of all things pleasurable and good?!?

Scripture:
“…give me this mountain…”
Joshua 14:12 NJKV

But the pages of life in Christ have taught me that when you tackle something bigger than yourself:

(1) you grow;
(2) you learn to depend on God;
(3) you get to celebrate big victories.

Caleb said: ‘…here I am today, 85 years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified but, with the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as He said’ (Joshua 14:10-12 NIV).

Listen, Anybody can occupy the flat ground, but it takes faith in God to tackle a mountain. What’s more, that’s where the Anakites – the giants – lived! These guys were so big they caused ten of Moses’ spies to say, ‘…Next to them we felt like grasshoppers …’ (Numbers 13:33 NLT).

You’d think at 85 Caleb would have asked for a nice cottage in a good suburb! But no, he wanted another battle and another victory before he checked out.

Stop asking God for a problem-free life, otherwise you might die of boredom. It’s in working to solve problems and overcome challenges that you become the person God wants you to be. So ask Him for a task that will keep you learning, growing, uncomfortable and hungry for significance.

When you pray, ‘God, use me,’ be prepared to encounter four things:

1. adventure,
2. danger,
3. risk and
4. reward.

Therefore speak with the heavens today! Get tired of petting the flat common ground and Go For the mountain!

Invading the Secular Space with the Gospel!

They…limited the Holy One of Israel.’ Psalm 78:41 NKJV

Researchers conducted an experiment in which frogs were placed in separate glass jars covered with lids to prevent them from escaping. At first the frogs kept jumping, trying to escape, but each time they hit their heads on the lid. After thirty days of doing this, something amazing happened. When the lids were removed from the jars, the frogs never jumped out even though they could easily have done so. Why? Because they had formed a belief system that the top of the jar was as high as they could go – their limiting belief system kept them trapped in the jar! The Israelites did that too: ‘Again and again they… limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power…’ (Psalm 78:41-42 NKJV).

Are you holding on to limiting belief systems, even though they are no longer true and are sabotaging your future? ‘I’m too young, too old, I’m a woman, I’m the wrong nationality, I don’t have the education, I don’t have the talent, I don’t have the connections, I failed too badly, etc.’

Fear of success stems from: (1) Fear of not being worthy of success. (2) Fear of being unable to meet the expectations and fulfil the responsibilities that accompany success. (3) Fear of being rejected by those unhappy about your success. (4) Fear of losing control of normal, private life. (5) Fear of saying no to friends and family who feel entitled to control you. Get rid of your limiting belief systems! Not only will God give you success, He will give you the skill and strength to handle it.

Go forth, you’re well able!
