My spiritual father once shared how he expanded their radio broadcast reach despite financial constraints. He took a step of faith, approaching a national radio station. To his surprise, the station manager offered a much lower fee than expected. This bold move significantly impacted their ministry.
Friend, you need to make bold moves. This is how to enter into the best of God for your life (Psalm 37:23). While some people are undertakers, the majority are caretakers, and very few are risk takers. It is the risk takers that get to experience big breaks. The undertakers care about the past; how things did not work out as planned, and how life has treated them badly (Hebrews 11:15-16).
The caretakers care about the present. To them, a bird at hand is worth more than two in the Bush (Proverbs 22:13). They don’t want to take risks. They enjoy their comfort zone to the point that they are not willing to stretch. They take care. But God has not called us to take care. He has called us to take risks and to cast our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). He’s got our back.
Risk takers make bold moves (2 Kings 7:1-11). They don’t play small. They sometimes bite more than they can chew so that God could help them chew it. They don’t wait for things to happen. They make things happen. They make demands on the presence and power of God in their lives until it produces results (1 Samuel 17:33-37). They go all the way fulfilling their destiny. What about you?
Will you go all the way to fulfil your destiny (Esther 4:16)? Thank God for the previous encounters and testimonies, but there’s more ahead of you if only you would step into it by faith. Don’t over celebrate your past achievements to the point that you settle in it (Micah 2:10). We are not called to settle. We are called to journey with God and make progress with Him.
Making bold moves is a faith adventure. Your faith will only work when you give it something to work with (Hebrews 11:8-10). If you think you don’t have faith, it might mean that you have not committed to something worthwhile. If you are wondering if God is with you, you need to go all out and watch Him back you up. Remember, signs only follow those who are on the move, not those who are on their bed (Mark 16:17-20). Make the move today.
