ASCEND!
Beloved in Christ,
Today, I stand before you, imbued with a divine message, a sermon that I have titled 'Ascend!' It is about our journey upwards, towards our God-given potential. "Your ascent is bound to your self-perception, intricately woven by God. See yourself through His eyes, and you'll rise to heights divine."
This message is a call to view ourselves not through the lens of our flaws or the world’s standards, but through the loving eyes of our Creator. Each of us is a masterpiece, intricately woven by God’s hands, and within us lies a potential that is boundless when viewed in His light.
Our journey of ascension begins with how we perceive ourselves. Often, we are our own greatest critics, limiting our ascent by focusing on our imperfections. However, God invites us to a higher perspective. He sees beyond our faults and failures. In His eyes, we are capable, worthy, and designed for greatness.
Remember, in the Bible, Moses saw himself as inadequate, slow of speech and tongue, but God saw a leader who would free an entire nation. Gideon thought of himself as the least in his family, but God saw a mighty warrior. Their ascent began when they started to see themselves as God saw them.
Embracing this divine perspective is transformative. It’s about recognizing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, equipped with unique gifts and talents. When we align our self-view with God’s view, we unlock a path of ascension that leads us to fulfill our divine purpose.
As we aim to ascend, let us also remember that our journey is not just about personal elevation. It is about rising to a place where we can lift others, where our lives become a testimony of God’s grace and power.
In conclusion, I encourage you to ascend in your faith, in your perception of yourself, and in your pursuit of God’s purpose for your life. View yourself through God’s eyes – as a beloved child, capable of greatness, and destined for divine heights. Let this perspective propel you to ascend to the glorious future God has prepared for you.
Amen.
