Graced For Greatness!

By Ps Dan Alderden

Have you ever had a felling on the inside of you that you were born for something great? Ever had the sense that there is something on the inside of you that is destined for greatness but can’t quite figure out how to see that greatness become a reality? Well let me tell you something, that felling that you were born for something great, it’s absolutely true, you are! God has called you to be great in “His eyes” and to live a life of greatness that will bring Him glory!

I believe that God has called each & everyone of us to be great by living out the individual grace that He has given us. The great Apostle Paul who traveled from nation to nation preaching the gospel, planting churches, raising leaders, seeing signs, wonders & miracles every where he went & who also wrote 2 thirds of the new testament said of himself, “by the grace of God I am what I am!” 1Cor 15:10. In other words he was saying “all this greatness that has come out of my life, has all been because of the grace that God put on me and worked through me”. Paul’s boasting was not in his own skill or ability but in the grace of Jesus! This is so exciting because greatness in Gods eyes is not determined by what others think of you, or by the position you hold, but simply by us living out the individual grace that God has given us.

Now is the time for you to stop “trying” to become great and just walk in the grace that God has given you. As you do, greatness will just flow out of your life to bring God glory & touch the lives of people around you. You are graced for greatness!

But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me. 1Cor 15:10 AMP
