Believe God for greater things

James 4:2 NKJV

Some people think we're not supposed to ask God for too much; otherwise, it's selfish. But God wants you to ask. "You do not have because you do not ask." If you're not asking - then you're not releasing your faith. Jesus said, "According to your faith be it unto you" (Matthew 9:29 KJV). You need to learn to pray bold prayers and expect and believe God for greater things. "Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession" (Psalm 2:8 NKJV). That's a bold prayer! But if God tells you to pray it, it's because He is willing to answer it.

You may have a dream in your heart but don't see how it could ever happen. Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish. He is a God of multiplication. He can multiply your time and help you to get more done. He can multiply your wisdom and help you to make better decisions. He can multiply your finances: "May He who supplies seed to the sower... multiply the seed you have sown" (2 Corinthians 9:10 NKJV).

Instead of being satisfied with merely surviving, God wants you to thrive. A survival mentality will keep you from God's best. Shake it off and say, "God, you promised that what was meant for my harm, you would use to my advantage (See Romans 8:28 NIV). I may have been through the fire, the famine, and the flood, but I know it's my time of favour. It's my time to see more of your goodness in my life." Believe God for greater things.

Soul food: Jam 1-2; Luke 5:1-11; Ps 91; Prov 3:3-4
