CALL TO GREATNESS

Text: Genesis 30: 43.,  26:12-14

Def: The quality of being great; eminence or distinction.  

Unusually or comparatively large in size or dimension.

It is God’s desire to make us great.  God told Abraham in the book of Gen. 12:3 ” And I will make you great; and though shalt be a blessing”. 

* From this month The Lord will make you great in the mighty name of Jesus.

Someone who is great is blessed and a call to salvation is a call into greatness.  The level of greatness you attain will depend on God and you.  God is willing to take you to the utmost height of greatness but are you prepared to pay the price to attain that height?

In Genesis 24: 34-35 While on a mission to find Isaac’s a wife; Abraham’s chief servant testified that God had greatly blessed his master and he had become great, that it is the level of greatness. 

Genesis 26:13.

Do you know that Isaac; Abraham’s son followed this same step of his father’s greatness.  He attained the same level of greatness has his father but did not stop there.  His father’s best became his starting point.   

* As from this day your best shall become your starting point in the mighty name of Jesus.

His son even continue this greatness that nation was envying him Gen: 26:12-14.

Do you know Isaac’s  son (Jacob) continue in this greatness. In the book of  Genesis: 30:43  that Jacob was exceedingly great.

*This season The Lord will make you great.  If you have great before He will make you greater  and if you greater before He will make you the greatest in the mighty name of Jesus.

But there are condition attached to this.

This aspect of greatness need to be observe.

Continuity and proper maintenance.

If one need to be great he needs to make sure that their is not brake in the cord of that greatness.  Then, imagine if we all create the space for one and others to be great, we can create possibilities for greatness in teams, companies, countries, events. What is possible from this place of greatness for everyone? What can we create together when we are no longer coming from a place of ego and instead

coming from a place of possibility for others?

By doing this Jesus clearly started this in the book of John 14:12-15

Obedience to His work.

He is great and he wants you and me not only to be great but be greater. 

He wants you and myself to do more in His kingdom.  He has served you and myself and He wants us to do more exploit by “WINNING MORE SOULS”  to His kingdom.

*Mark 16:15-20.  Romans10:15

Multiplication is a sign of greatness.  If we need to be great we need to multiply and God wants our multiplication to remain.  Proverbs 11:30

If we are saying we are all heir to the throne we need to prove this because Jesus came and wants us to start from where He has stopped.  

So if we want to be great we need to follow the steps of those who are ahead of us.  

Abraham was great and his descendants were greater.  

Jesus was great and we his own needs to be greater  just by following His steps.

Preaching the gospel and in soul winning,  when we do these God not only blesses us but He will make us great. Give your time, your money and your intellect unto God and win souls. By doing this you will be rest assured that you not only be great but you will be exceedingly great.

Beloved of God this is the calling of God unto me and you this morning. That greatness is ours and we need to obtain it.

Let us pray:

Father starting from this month, please make me great, if am great already make me greater and if am greater please make me be the greatest this we pray in Jesus name.

Your Brother,
