SHED AVERAGE!
Beloved congregation,
Today, I am thrilled to share a profound message that speaks directly to the essence of our divine purpose, entitled "Shed Average." "Your destiny exceeds imagination. Shed 'average,' embracing the extraordinary purpose God crafted you for, to fully become who you're meant to be."
In the journey of life, it's easy to become ensnared in the trap of complacency, to settle for what is comfortable and familiar, to wear the label of 'average' as if it were our destiny. But the truth that resonates through the scriptures tells us a different story. Jeremiah 29:11 declares, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This promise is a testament to the extraordinary destiny that God has ordained for each of us, a destiny that far surpasses the confines of average.
The call to shed 'average' is a call to embrace the fullness of our potential in Christ. It is a divine invitation to step into the greatness for which we were created, to pursue our God-given purpose with fervor and faith. This requires courage, for it means leaving behind the safety of the known for the promise of the unknown. It demands faith, for we must trust in God's vision for our lives, even when the path is unclear.
To become who we're meant to be, we must actively reject mediocrity. We must choose to live in the light of God's promise, to cultivate the gifts He has given us, and to pursue our divine calling with relentless determination. This is not a journey we undertake alone; God is with us every step of the way, equipping us, strengthening us, and guiding us towards our extraordinary destiny.
In conclusion, I encourage you to take off the 'average' label and to embrace the extraordinary plan God has for your life. Let us shed the confines of mediocrity and step into the vastness of our divine destiny. For in God, we are called to be so much more than average; we are called to be extraordinary.
Amen.
