DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS : Text; Num. 13:25--33

[Innocent Uchenna Simeon]

INTRODUCTION:

      Due to inability of many to live above average they have settled for less and lived below the plans and purpose of God  for them thus could be as a result of lack of diligence, hard work, planning and focus.

 REASON:

       Note:- An average man or woman is the best of the worst a man on the fence- I  pray against the spirit of average in your life in Jesus name. An average man is satisfied with  average living Gen. 5:27. They keep comparing them self with people behind them instead of motivating  for a better life .When you start to compare yourself to those people you are better than, you are trying to settle for your present position . You are not meant to be stagnant , it is what you think that you are : whatever a man thinketh in his mind so he is. . . . . .

        Nobody  can move forward by looking back.

         Nobody can move forward with a reverse gear.

         Nobody can move forward looking only at the rear mirror

         Remember that a man that is limited can not be lifted , stop  looking down on your self, stop self pity and God  will lift you.

           You can only move forward  when you can compare or see yourself equal with those  that are above you.

            Phili. 3:13-14

          Love , think and aspire to be like those above you.

                                         DON'T BE PROUD OVER AVERAGE LIVING

            You can be proud over average living by saying  after all, Iam not the worst student , I am  not the poorest etc

            I came from an average home even if we can't afford 3 meals a day we can eat twice , that is not the will      of God for you . You can't afford to be stagnant in a moving word.

         They have shallow dreams and shallow mentality , remember that your dream is your power no one gets to a destination  without a journey , it is only dreamers that rule the world , you can't rise above your wisdom. Those  without dream die young , they are candidate of failure and can never excel. CALEB  AND JOSHUA . Num: 13:27,28,30-33.

Those that settle for less are not willing to risk , sacrifice or pay the price for outstanding living , your location doesn't determine your allocation , your outstanding living is a product of the price you are willing to pay, to be outstanding is to stand out , you can't achieve what you are not willing to pay for . 1 Sam. 17 , Gen. 22:6-18.

They are always contented with their status. You can't progress , rise or operate above your present level if there is nobody to challenge you , ignorance is not an excuse . Some can't acknowledge that they are average , the are like a fish born in aquarium that is ignorant of a better life in the ocean .

CONCLUSION:

BE CONTENTED IN WHATEVER LEVEL YOU ARE BUT DON;T BE SATISFIED BECAUSE SOMETHING BETTER IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU.
