Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As I write this afternoon I am feeling mighty fine. I have three jobs and like them all. I have found me a special friend and things seem to progressing well in our friendship. I am doing well in school and I even have made the Deans list a few times and my GPA is high. I have gained a understanding of math that had often held me back. I am looking to become better at saving more money and to even one day start my own non-profit business. My personal faith based blog Brand New Week, Brand New Attitude is being well received and even though the numbers are not high I am reaching those globally. At this time I am feeling so good about myself and all of my accomplishment that my saliva even taste like sugar. Wait a second I did not do all this on my own. Please do not be like me. Don"t Get High On Your Own Supply.
Many times in our lives we seem to be the one who wants to take credit for our accomplishments in life. This can be especially true of those involved in the promoting of the gospel. That song you led, that teaching you taught or that prayer you
prayed was off the charts. The accolades you received makes you feel invincible and good about what you did. This happens to all of us but we have to remember that God makes all things possible. In the next three paragraphs I will use examples of Don't Get High On Your Own Supply.
In the first example in the Word of God of Don't Get High On Your Own Supply I go to 1st Samuel 13:4-14. In this passage Saul has not kept the assignment God has given him and by him being disobedient he has no authority any more even though he
still remained King. Yes problems and issues seem to be crumbling the grounds we stand on but we have to continue to perform our assignments no matter how big or small. Don't Get High On Your Own Supply because God will take things you have established and replace you.
In looking at the second example in the Word of God of Don't Get High On Your Own Supply I go to Jonah 4:1-11. In this passage Jonah is very angry about his assignment about going to the West Side of Chicago, or
the projects or to those who do not know God. He felt remorse for a plant that he had no part of more so for any lost soul no matter what race creed or color they may be/ What God has for you to do it must be done. Don't Get High On Your Own Supply.
In looking at the last example in the Word of God for Don't Get High On Your Supply I go Acts 8:9-19. In this passage Simon the Sorcerer has accepted Christ as his Savior but sees where there is power unlimited
and he wants to use this to further his teachings, his voice, his ministry. God is all mighty and magnificent but we have to use his power to advance the kingdom not our own agenda. Don' Get High On Your Own Supply.
In closing I had to let go of where I wanted to be placed at. I wanted teach inside the four walls inside the church but God initially placed me in a building downtown to be a light to the thousands while working in a low paid position. I wanted to work in a high rise building but God placed me in a high school to motivate students at one time. I wanted to stay in my position where I was at to get my Christmas bonus but God wanted me to come where I am at and become part of the mentor program here at where I know work at. I have not taught in any classroom yet I am able to teach the Word of God. I had to release myself from getting high on my own supply and allow God to use me in any and every way that he can. Allow God to use you and watch how things change. I give God all the honor and glory for this teaching and thank Superintendent Elizabeth Hope for allowing me this vehicle to not only teach but be an editor for other teachers. May God bless each and every one and if you cannot come to Rhema Word at Valley Kingdom Ministries International please try to make it to your place of worship. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. See I made that up. Oops there I go again getting high on my own supply. Lol,. Please look at Rhema Word 2.0 Facebook page.
Fred Wesley is a writer and editor for Rhema Word 2.0 and also has his own blog called Brand New Week, Brand New Attitude. He thanks God for this blessed chance to teach.
