For if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:13)
Many people are reacting to life instead of leading it. They respond to circumstances as if circumstances are in charge. But that’s not your identity.
Everything in this world was created to respond to faith. But if you constantly live in the flesh—reacting, worrying, comparing—you will feel controlled by what you see in front of you instead of being led by the Spirit.
The fruit of greatness is this: it subdues. It doesn’t panic. It doesn’t surrender. It doesn’t complain. It stands firm. And that greatness is already in you because you are in Christ. The issue is not whether you have it—the issue is whether you are using it.
You are not here to escape this world, nor to cry or beg God, because His Spirit in you is your help and your greatness. You are here to express God’s greatness in real situations—in your profession, in your decisions, in your family, in your body, in every aspect of your life and your world.
So today, stand. Speak. Act from the Spirit. Circumstances may be loud—but they are not lord. Jesus Christ is Lord over your life, and with Him, you are a dispenser of greatness! Glory!
Prayer:
Precious Father, I refuse to live reacting to life. I live by the Spirit. I stand in the greatness You have placed within me, and I make every circumstance bow through my triumphant faith. My faith is alive and working, producing the desired results, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
