GIVE UP AVERAGE FOR THE BEST

Devotional

Many times, we let our destiny slip out of our hands, we live below who we were created to be, simply because we let what life presents to us and what people say about us to affect our lives. When God created us, He deposited in us the seeds of greatness. He called us the best. But the enemy would love for us to live average, making us feel inferior, and he would suggest negative things about us trying to put us down.

But the good news is; what God says about us is greater than what the enemy says we are. He sees us as average, but God calls us the best. So, give up average for the best.

Key Scripture

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Eph 2:10 NLT

Refreshing for the Day

Don’t let what life presents to you and the negative things people have spoken over you determine your destiny.

A young man was told by his teacher that he’s not smart, he’s average mentality, he’s not good enough and would never make it in life. This clogged the young man’s future for many years, until one day he learnt that he’s God’s masterpiece and he can do all things in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:13), and that was his stepping stone to success.

Beloved, give no ear to what people say about you; they call you average, but God calls you the best. So, give up average and go for the best. Stay Refreshed!
