I don’t often share my stuff like this but I felt that it was important for all of us to get what I got today.
EARLY this morning I woke up to a whisper in my ear at precisely 4 am… “nobody’s coming. All your seats will be empty. No sponsors, no vendors… Nobody’s coming.” I sat straight up in the bed. Then I got up paced for a few moments – bc I’m trying SO HARD to walk this mission out and I’M SCARED!!! Scared that I won’t be able to do this thing like I’m supposed to. Scared that my vision and my calling are too big for my little 5’2 self. I mean, after all… I don’t know what the HECK I’m doing even though I’m positive that I’m doing what I was born to do. I got up, prayed a bit, then laid back down and fell asleep-ish… back awake by my normal 6 am and finally got up.
7 am I turned on Bishop Jakes and he said what I heard at the beginning of the year. “It’s not your fight, the promise in you will grow as it was meant to – and so will adversity which the enemy planted to keep you distracted will grow right beside you. Your job is to be the wheat and not fight the tare that was planted and cannot be removed without destroying your promise.”
He said we picture success to be perfect To us, in our vision success is beautiful without adversity. We never really get that seeds of adversity ALWAYS grows as you grow. With MORE there is MORE Bishop said. More business and success – more haters and nay sayers. More wisdom – more ppl to drain you. More capacity to serve – more roadblocks put in your path to serve those who need your message. With More there is going to be more. That’s often why we don’t recognize success. It doesn’t look exactly how we saw it in our mind’s eye.
2015 is another level for most of us than ever before. Never EVER forget that the plane of success is filled with adversity and distraction purposely to make you SABOTAGE your own future. Today I vowed that I WILL NOT allow the distractions around me to make me fight a battle I wasn’t even designed to be a part of. I will remember that I do my part (the hard stuff) – be consistently the wheat – the speaker, leader, entrepreneur, I was put here to be. The rest happens because I MOVE OUT OF THE WAY and allow God to do His part – the impossible. I vow to remember and be “…confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it…” because He will.
