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.
