Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!

Matthew 14:28 "And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" (KJV)

Whatever you do in this hour?

Remember this one thing!

Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Do not look at what is going on around you or even to you.?

Jesus knows..............And he wants you to fix your eyes on him.

Look at Peter! His faith was overtaken by fear.

Do not be afraid in this hour of anything or anyone?

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus!

He will carry you through to the other side.

This is your higher calling....."Live Higher"

Faith that Rewards!

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (NIV)

There is faith that rewards and you can receive ALL that God has in store for you.

There are some keys here in this scripture that will open heaven's door of blessings for you today.

1) You must have faith in God - Faith is acting on the word of God, be it logos (written word) or rhema (voice of the Spirit) that is revealed to you. It is trusting God and Knowing that He is that He is.

There has to be a revelation on the inside of you that comes from walking with God and seeing him at work in your life. This walk produces faith or trust or confidence in knowing that God will come through because you have seen him deliver in the past.

2) You must be determined to seek God - Your faith must be the kind of Faith that is built on a relationship with your God that no matter what may come your way, you are determined to hold on to him and allow him to bring you into true and lasting success.

There is a faith that God loves. It is when you begin to push the envelope and say to yourself that there has to be more in life God has for me and I will seek him for it. God loves those who are not contend with a mediocre life but those who desire a richer, fuller, and joyous life.

3) You must believe that God has something GOOD FOR YOU when you show up - Your faith will do wonders when you believe that when you show up God has a blessing in store for you. He longs to bless you every chance he gets because he is a loving father who loves to bless his children.

Child of God. Your God wants to Reward You just for Showing up!

Can you believe that!

I know you thought that you had to go out and save the world for YOUR GOD to bless you. I know you thought that you had to have all of your T's crossed and I's dotted for him to Shower YOU with blessings.

You are special to God and he longs to bless you and reward you for coming to him. You are the reason that earth spins today. You are the reason the Sun shines today. You are the reason the rain falls today. You are the reason that He sent his son to die for your sins. He is that in love with you to the point that your life was equal to the death of his Son Jesus. (John 3:16)

So come to the Father today! He wants you to come up Higher!

This is your higher calling!

Stir up your gift?

II Timothy 1:5 " Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."

Every one of us on planet earth was given gifts by God to serve one another. The baker uses his or her gift to feed hungry mouths. The singer uses their gift to uplift hurting souls. The preacher uses his gift to encourage the weak and faint hearted. The artist uses his or her gift to bring joy and a smile to faces.

What will you do with your gift? God has endowed you with a gift that only you can use to bless the world around you. You are special and unique and what you can do whether little or great must be done so that someone can be encouraged along the way to go on.

Stir up your gift and allow greatness to shine in you and through you. Use what you have and allow God to bring out the best in you.

You can do it! God believes in you and has equipped you to do a wonderful work.

So let your light shine so that all men may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.

Can you hear him? Come up higher!

This is your higher calling!
