The Audacity of FAITH!

[Bishop Michael O. Peter]

The Audacity of FAITH!

…Let us run with patience the race that
is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith…
(Hebrews 12:1-2).


God has a unique plan for your life,
different from that of any other living
person. His plans and purposes for
your life are distinct, because He
doesn’t have, has never had, and will
never have a replica of you! You’re the
only “you” that God has and will ever
have. So, take pride in who you are
and in what God is doing in your life;
sing and celebrate your uniqueness.
Sometimes, there’s the temptation to
feel discouraged when others around
you seem to be making more progress
than you. However, such a feeling is
absolutely unnecessary, because you
don’t measure your success with the
success of someone else. Rather, you
measure your success with how much
you’re walking in the will of God for
your life. That someone else is
succeeding doesn’t mean you’re failing,
for God has called us to fulfill different
areas of His vision.


John the Baptist, for example, was
filled with the Holy Spirit while he was
in his mother’s womb and was
described by Jesus as the greatest of all
men born by women (Matthew 11:11).
Yet, his ministry as the forerunner to
the Messiah lasted only six months.
This was God’s purpose for his life, and
he fulfilled it.


Learn to celebrate your uniqueness!
Refuse to compete or compare yourself
with someone else. Focus on your
calling; sing and make melody about
your uniqueness in Christ; work on
outdoing your past and not somebody
else. This consciousness will make your
life full of rest, as you learn to look at
yourself and measure your success
through God’s Word. Hallelujah!
Take advantage of this platform to sing
about your uniqueness today!
