I'm not going to complain

Now your time is coming. What's been shut up in your spirit is about to be released. It's going to be bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you ever imagined. It's not going to come through your neighbor, through your cousin, through your boss, or through your pastor. It's going to come through you. It's your baby. It's your time to be celebrated.

Today's Prayer Father, thank You for empowering me to stand on the truth that You did not make me inferior or not good enough. Thank You that You have made me to be strong and that You have given me talents needed to fulfill my destiny. I believe that You have amazing things planned for me now and for my future. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Father, I know that You are a giver, and I want to be like You. Please help me to hold loosely those things You have placed in my hands, and help me to always be ready to give to others in the same way You have given to me.

He was saying, "Sarah, what I put in you is more than you can imagine." God is saying the same thing to you: "There are kings in you. There is greatness in you. It's much bigger than what you think." Don't let circumstances talk you out of it. You may not see how it can work out. God has ways to do it that you've never thought of. One touch of God's favor will catapult you to the next level.

Don't let God pass by as you just watch. Touch Him. Say, "Thank You that You're taking me where I can't go on my own. God, I don't see a way, but I know You have a way. You're on the throne. You're bigger than what I'm facing." That's how we touch God today, through our faith.

Life happens to us all. There are going to be different seasons, ups and downs, victories and losses, good friends and betrayals, promotions and setbacks. If you'll stay in faith and keep moving forward, in time, God will make all things beautiful.

What God has put in you, He's still going to bring to pass. You are pregnant with destiny. You are pregnant with greatness. It's not going to come through others. You're going to shine. You're going to excel. You're going to be promoted. You're going to be celebrated. You are fully loaded. You're not at a deficit. You're not lacking. You're full of potential, full of favor.

You are the head and not the tail. You will lend and not borrow. You are a victor and not a victim.

The Scripture says that God wants to pour out "His far and beyond favor."1 God wants this to be the best time of your life. But if you are going to receive this favor, you must enlarge your vision. You can't go around thinking negative, defeated, limiting thoughts.
