GO BEYOND BOUNDARIES 4


MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 10:16 - "To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand."

We read about Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist who went beyond the boundaries of the usual things when she was to name her son, She refused to follow the traditions of naming after the father's name but chose to follow the Lord's instructions.

The scripture says when her full time came to deliver, she gave birth to a son. And now, it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child [as required by the Law], and they intended to name him Zacharias, after his father, but his mother responded and said, “No; he shall be called John.” And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.” (See Luke 1:57-63).

Yes, no one in the family has given a name outside the circle of the norm but Elizabeth broke the barrier of the family circle, she did something different.... She did what no one has ever done before.... She called her son John as instructed by the Lord without any fear, a name that no one has ever named in their family, both in her husband and hers.

She wasn't bothered about what people would say, she wasn't afraid of what they would do, she didn't care about humans opinion.... All that mattered was what God had told them. Many are not entering into what God has told them to do because they are pleasing men.

Paul says, "For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10). The moment you begin to please men, you lose favour with God. Life is all about pleasing God, true happiness is in pleasing God and true fulfillment is about pleasing God. 

Child of God, if you want to go beyond boundaries, you must stop trying to please men and do not stress yourself over what people will say, but follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I thank you for another opportunity to experience your amazing work of grace today. Help me dear Holy Spirit to do things that will only be pleasing to the Father in Jesus name, Amen.

TAKE AWAY ALL IDOLS PT 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 35:4 - "And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem." Now, Somebody may say, I don't have any physical image of anything carved as a god so, I have no idol..... Listen, there are many things that constitute an idol in one's lives. E.g: when you make the things you possess more important than God, it is an idol.  When you value money more than God, it is an idol. When you trust man or believe in man more than your trust in God, it is an idol. it is an idol. It is known as the idol of the heart in God's sight. When you glory in your beauty instead of gloring in your God, it is an idol.  Allowing bad habits and bad attitude to have power over you, it's an idol. Paul in Colossians 3:5, admonished us to put out of our lives things that can be idols to us, "Put to death therefore what...

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN 4 MEMORY VERSE: - - Jude 1:9 - "But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil (Satan), and arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Now, this accuser never stops until you stop him. Look at how he stood against Moses even in death he still went after him. And stood against his body from ascending to God's glorious presence. But thank God for the angel who never gave up but disputed with him and conquered him. Oh, beloved, you don't give up for the accuser but you counter him with the Word. You stand on what God has written concerning you and contend with him and take what's rightfully yours in Christ. That is to say, you bring forth your strong reasons and silent him and release yourself and all that is yours from his bondage.  Now, the reason for which the devil stood against Moses body was deu to his ...

GO BEYOND BOUNDARY

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational GO BEYOND BOUNDARY MEMORY VERSE: - Micah 2:13 - “He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head"   To 'Go' is to make a movement, while 'beyond' is to stretch more than usual, it's to go further, to go farther than normal, to go over the above limits. Boundaries are limitations, or confines. It is something that indicates or fixes a limit to one's life. Furthermore, Boundaries are restrictions, it keeps people from moving forward in life and destiny. It holds people back from going over to the next level and from crossing over to the other side of life as ordained by God for them. It is a dividing line which marks the limits of an area.  So to go beyond boundary is to make extra effort, to go above a way that exceeds humans expectations or any force expectations.  There are various kind of Boundaries, we have Personal...
