INVENTORY TIME!
Significant breakthrough is not possible without naked authenticity. I must know who I am and where I want to go before I can achieve what I was created to be! An honest inventory of your life is necessary if you are going to reach your full potential. Often people are unwilling to make a true analyzation of their life until things go wrong. An unwillingness to make a correct analyzation of his life is what we see in the story of the prodigal son in Luke chapter 15. Things had to get very difficult before he was willing to take an honest inventory of himself. But this honest evaluation helped him to make some significant decisions that brought favor and blessing back into his life.
Luke 15:17-20 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men. ’ 20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
Coming to his senses meant he made an accurate, honest evaluation of his life. Do you know that you and I are favored? Having the Word of God in our lives gives us an advantage because it is the most accurate and perfect playbook of what a successful life should look like.
The first thing the prodigal son did was to make a choice, he said, "I will.” Once we face ourselves and admit the raw truth, we are now in the position to make a beeline straight towards prosperity! The horrible situation the prodigal son was in caused him to remember the love and provision underneath his father’s authority and care. Sadly enough, he needed those circumstances to cause him to take a real inventory of his life and admit the error of his way. Though it all seems harsh, this kind of wisdom is a gift from God and brings restoration and prosperity to the one who will surrender to it!
Maybe you are in a difficult situation today. Maybe God is trying to get your attention so that he can take you on a journey into his unparalleled prosperity. I am not implying that it must be difficult for us to evaluate our lives, but rather, if you are going through something, this is your perfect opportunity!
I am praying for you today. I am asking God for the wisdom that causes authentic inventory to come upon you! May you take an honest look at your life, choosing to lay down your wants and desires in exchange for God’s supernatural and WONDERFUL LIFE! I truly believe God has an ace up his sleeve and your best is yet to come!
Oh, I feel like I am chomping at the bit on this one! I'm ready for God to do in me and through me what's necessary to go to the next level! How about you? We all need this! Here is our avenue to victory! Let's jump on this boat because it's…
