SURROUND YOURSELF!
Beloved congregation,
Today, I want to share an encouraging message about the power of community and the importance of surrounding yourself with visionaries, entitled "Surround Yourself." "Surround yourself with visionaries who reflect God's light, inspiring you to chase the divine dreams planted in your heart with fervor and purpose. Amen."
God has placed unique dreams and aspirations in each of our hearts. These dreams are not random but divinely inspired, meant to guide us towards our highest purpose. Proverbs 27:17 tells us, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." The people we surround ourselves with can significantly impact our journey. By choosing to be in the company of visionaries who reflect God's light, we can be inspired and encouraged to pursue our dreams with passion and purpose.
Visionaries are those who see beyond the ordinary and believe in the extraordinary. They are guided by faith and a deep sense of God's presence in their lives. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Being in fellowship with such individuals helps us stay focused on our divine calling and keeps us motivated to chase after the dreams God has planted in our hearts.
Surrounding yourself with visionaries means being part of a supportive community that lifts you up and holds you accountable. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." In this community, we find strength, encouragement, and the reminder that we are not alone in our journey.
These visionaries reflect God's light through their actions, words, and faith. They inspire us to see the possibilities that lie ahead and to trust in God's plan. Ephesians 5:8 calls us to live as children of light: "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light." When we surround ourselves with those who live in God's light, we are continually reminded of His presence and His promises.
To fully embrace this, seek out relationships and communities that align with God's vision for your life. Engage in regular fellowship, prayer groups, and ministries where you can grow spiritually and be inspired by others. Reflect on the positive influences in your life and make a conscious effort to spend more time with those who uplift and encourage you.
In conclusion, surround yourself with visionaries who reflect God's light, inspiring you to chase the divine dreams planted in your heart with fervor and purpose. Embrace these relationships with gratitude and allow them to propel you towards the fulfillment of your divine destiny. With God’s guidance and the support of a visionary community, you can achieve the extraordinary.
Amen.
