SMALLER FOR GREAT OUTCOMES
I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. Colossians 2:2-4 NLT
What separates religious people from those who have a true and ongoing encounter with Jesus? The answer is simple: He increases in your life as you decrease.
That means you are getting small, and God is getting big—that you are giving Him preeminence in all things. That means God takes priority not just over your marriage, your finances, job, parenting, and every part of your life—it means He takes priority in your marriage, finances, job, parenting, and every part of your life.
Your walk with God is a lifetime of learning how to give Him priority both over and in every part of your life. John the Baptist put it this way: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” – John 3:30
The understanding of “Christ in me” is a promise that I am going to get smaller and smaller, while He gets bigger and bigger. At some point, He will be so enlarged in my life that people are going to see Him, not Troy, and that’s the point!
The promise is that someday, I’m going to supernova, and Jesus is going to come busting up out of me in a way that doesn’t leave any trace of me. Until that glorious day, I’m going to be part of His camp, so it’s up to me to get this thing right. It is my job to get small.
How about you? Are you still looking for the spotlight and the praise of men? Do you find ways to look important or drop names of folks you think are impressive? If you’re a legend in your own mind, stop it!
Start bragging on God and what He’s done. The credit is His alone! Only then can God bring you to your destiny so you can truly be used for His purpose and glory.
Declaration: My soul magnifies the Lord, my heart desires to bring Him glory by the way I walk in the world. Each day, I want Him to increase in my life. God is the fullness in my life as I make room for Him and I am filled with joy.
