And
I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:2).
From
the scripture above, we notice that it was God who spoke to Abraham and said,
“I will make you great”; it wasn't Abraham who cried out, “O Lord, make me
great!” It was God’s choice to make him great, and from that point on, the man
did great things. He defeated five kings and their armies with three hundred
servants trained in his house (Genesis 14).
His
wealth and influence outweighed those of the nations where he dwelt. He was a
force to be reckoned with by kings of nations around him because of how great
he was. The Bible says “…if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs
according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). If you’re born again,
you’re the seed of Abraham; the seed of greatness is in your spirit. Therefore
you ought to do great things. Great people do great things. When the seed of
greatness is in a man, he’ll undoubtedly do great things that will be spoken of
for generations after Him.
Never think small or see yourself as small. You’re the offspring of the
great God of glory; His seed of greatness is in you. It’s your set time to do
great things. Every day, tell yourself, “I’m doing great things, for the Spirit
of God lives in me! I refuse to think small or do small things. I’m born for
greatness!” Remember, you were born into greatness! Your family history is
replete with stories and feats of greatness. I’m not talking about your earthly
family, but the family of God to which you belong. This is your time to do
great things in the Kingdom of God. It’s your set time to do exploits in your
job, business, academics and other areas of your life.
