Grow Anyway
Mini message moment ‼️
*Personal moment*: I remember pleading, “God what am I supposed to do when I want to grow but my environment won’t aid me. How is it possible to shift higher when complacency is surrounding me...I can’t possibly shift in an environment that is stagnant. I could simply just live a life of normality.
*Lesson learned/ Message to others*: God’s response to your worries is to grow anyway! No matter what your environment looks like, God is pulling on you to grow. Never settle or live beneath your anointing; Surpass the mark you see others settle for and watch how God will move in your life. Everyone will not accept your growth or decisions but it’s best to not allow that to cause you to settle for mediocracy. After all, normality is no place for God’s chosen.
*Scriptures*
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
1 Corinthians 3:7
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
1 Timothy 4:12-16
