“Who goes before you looking for the best places to camp, guiding you with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day”- (Deuteronomy 1:33, NLT).
Good day once again, family member. It’s been a week, and I trust you’ve had a great one. On the other hand, I hope it’s not too late to wish you a Happy Easter celebration. I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating while not forgetting the essence of the season. I pray that the joy and hope that Easter brings be our portion always.
In the spirit of Easter, which should be our everyday reality and not just once a year, we will be discussing a very important topic which I call “The best of tables”. Journey with me as we break down this concept. Whatever you think the “table” is at this point might or might not be the case😁.
Have you at any point had an opportunity and let it go because you felt like it was too good for you to have? Have you ever felt undeserving of goodness in any expression? Do you ever feel unworthy or guilty for being privileged to have a certain favour, to the extent that you would give it up in a heartbeat if you had the chance to? Here, let’s talk about it.
All these questions point to a mindset; The Limiting Mindset. You see, this belief keeps you contented with the average level. It’s that mindset that says “This opportunity is good, but it is way beyond your league” even when you have close contact with that chance.
It’s the mindset that carves a shell for you to stay and keeps you in there. It turns itself into a comfort zone and you just decide it’s the better place to be, while in reality, it is far apart from your designed destination.
It’s the mindset that says “You will be doing too much if you take this step, just stick to the usual”, or “This favour is too good for you to have. Who are you to access it, from where to where?”. It just has a way of keeping hands tied and pushes away any motivation to desire or take a step towards becoming a better person and getting the best out of life.
This thought does not just thrive on its own, there could be events that fuel it. It could be an error from the past tugging at your inside. You once made a mistake, and it keeps flashing itself in your face, reminding you that there is no “better side” or “greener grass” for you.
The mindset is not just even about a past error, it can also stem from fear flashing in your eyes. If you’ve noticed, we have addressed this ‘fear’ thing over and over again. What a strong tool of destruction it is! But guess what, it can be destroyed!
I want to invite you to a banquet organized by Someone who thinks of you as a Very Important Personality and has reserved a seat for you at the high table set apart for His distinguished guests. You know who fits this description, right?
Believe that God would have you enjoy the best of ALL things. ALL, as in all! Every single thing that you hope to get, He desires that you have the very best of that stuff. He prepared the table Himself, so why do you feel the items on the table are not made of the best of resources?
We’re still in the spirit of Easter, right? Well, the crux of the matter is that this good Father of yours did not withhold who the most precious being to Him was, He gave you Jesus. So, what else is there that He will not release to you, and the best of such at that? Believe it, His gifts to you are the best you can ever get.
There is an assignment you must carry out with all diligence. Yes, it’s your assignment to handle! Do not allow negative emotions to rob you of your God-given desires. Is it fear, guilt, or worry? Whatever it may be, you have to keep it in check. Your bad records do not define your new, blood-washed present.
This is where renewing your mind comes in, and you renew your mind with the positive Word that counters every negative voice that holds you down. What have you seen in the Word? It’s your reality, and it’s yours to confess until you see it play out before your eyes.
Another thing to note is this; who are the voices that are in direct contact with you? Are they voices of discouragement, voices that clip your wings every single time? Or are they voices that speak to the rising light in you, fanning your flame and helping it burn brighter? Surround yourself with an army of like-minded soldiers.
Like I said last week, give the favoured being you are a chance to flaunt himself or herself. Permit that gracious walk into the company of Kings and nobles. Don’t shy away from the opportunities that have your name boldly written on them and are out to seek you. You deserve it, so go for it.
As you journey on this week, remember that you are the best and you have access to the best of ALL things. You are worthy to have it, you deserve it, and it’s yours to keep. Do have an amazing week, and don’t forget to drop your comments. You are loved.
