I said, "Do You have any idea what You are getting when You get me?" He said, "Don't worry about it, I am a Master at making champions out of nobodies!"
If you've ever been called a nobody, then you qualify to become a champion.
For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.God doesn't have one evil thought in His mind regarding you. God is not the one who is planning disaster or destruction for your life. Some folks have the idea that God sits around thinking up ways that He can make folks sick, or that He can wreck their car to teach them something.
(Jer. 29:11)
| It's never God's will that you stay in captivity. It's never God's will that you stay in bondage. - Jerry Savelle |
No matter how miserable your life may be at this very moment, God has a plan to turn your life around. When you're distressed, if you won't run from God but run to Him, then He can and He will turn your captivity around.
Isaiah 65:24 says, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." God's declaring that before you can utter the very first word of your prayer, He's already preparing a solution or a way out of your circumstances.
While you are still calling on Him, He's already involved in dispatching His angels to go forth and change your circumstances. It's never God's will that you fail. It's never God's will that you stay in captivity. It's never God's will that you stay in bondage.
In fact, while you're reading this, angels are out there working in your behalf. Hallelujah! The miracle you need, the manifestation you're believing for, it could happen before you finish reading this article. Today could be your due season. Today could be your appointed time.
I'm prepared to stand for my miracle. I am an expert at standing. God intends for you to be a winner, not a loser. Second Corinthians 2:14 says, "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ." Notice the word always. That's the will of God. It's never the will of God that you and I win a few, lose a few.
God's will is that we triumph always. No matter how impossible your circumstances look at this very moment, don't ever give up until you triumph! I don't care if you fall and stumble nine times, get up and go again! Don't accept defeat. Don't accept anything but triumph.
God is not looking for those who have all the credentials or who have all the education that the world says one must have to qualify. There's nothing wrong with education, but God's not saying that you have to be an expert in this particular field before He can use you.
God's saying, "Whatever the world says can't be used, I can use." If the world says there is absolutely no hope for you, God sees a candidate. When your parents, your relatives, and your friends think that you will never amount to anything, God says there's a potential champion!
You are not a loser, you are a winner. You are not a failure, you are a champion! The New Burkley version says, "God also has chosen the worlds insignificant and despised people and nobodies, in order to bring to nothing those who amount to something. So that nobody may boast in the presence of God."
On the inside of you is unlimited potential! God is looking for people in these last days who will tap that potential and get maximum results with it.
It's time for you to get over your past. It's time for you to get over what everybody has been saying about you. It's time for you to get over all the words that have been spoken over you! Get over all your previous mistakes! Get over all your past failures! God says He can use you. He needs you. He wants you. You're a champion!
God never looks on the outward appearance, He sees what's on the inside. If God says you are a champion, you're a champion. If God says you can, then you can! If God says you are, you are!
Others won't see what you see. You have to learn to not be moved by what you see, by what you hear, nor by what you feel.
Even though God may call you a champion, you may not become that champion in the next 24 hours. If you'll be faithful to what the Word of God says and not allow others to distract you or discourage you, then the champion that's on the inside is going to come to the surface.
Today you may be in debt up to your eyeballs. You may be the most miserable person in the world. You might not be able to remember the last time you succeeded at anything, but down on the inside of you there is a champion that is ready to come out.
A champion that is ready be born into this earth. So don't give up, don't be discouraged, and don't quit.
The very adversity you're experiencing today could become the stepping stone to your greatest victory! In other words, you can turn every test into a testimony. God is a master at making champions out of nobodies. Let Him make one out of you.
