Branded by God

In this generation, we have an egotistical view of our selves. It is all about us. We buy clothes that make us look good; we use Facebook and Twitter to allow others to see us and what we are doing. We do so many things that glorify us, our image, and our personality. To prove my point, let me ask you some questions. Would you ever put an ugly picture of yourself on Facebook? Would you ever tweet that you’re going poo, so that everyone you know would look at you differently? Would you ever tell someone important that you are selfish, rude, unorganized, and never on time???? If you care about your image, you would never do these things!!!!! I am the same way; I have the same picture of my on Facebook because I know I look good!!!

The problem with this is that while we are focused on our selves, God therefore has no say. We should be spending the time figuring out what God wants for us, not what we want for us. You should know that God always has the better plan, because his ways are soo much greater than ours. His plans are so much bigger than ours. Our minds can’t comprehend his dreams for us. So which is better, our view of who we should be or God’s view?

I personally think that Gods’ plans are so much better than mine. So knowing this, we should discover what He wants us to do and the plans He has for us. Essentially we have to be branded by God. He already has given us a specific identity, gifts, and character traits.

Unfortunately this task of being branded by God can sometimes be very difficult. If you look in this world, there are soooo many different brands that are very successful and unique. We look to those brands and are moulded and shaped by them. In the world, there are sooo many young girls who wish to be like Beyonce and do everything she did and does so they can be like her. As a Christian we look at other influential pastors and evangelists, and we read their books and buy their CD’s and try to preach like them or sing like them. We become second rate, no longer unique or different.

God has called us to be set apart, different, and unique. He has called us to allow him to shape us, mould our future, and make us great. He wants to brand us, and from that we will create a following of people who will do the same. God intention is never for us to be a no name brand or second rate to someone else. There is something inside of every one that God has already placed there, that we need to uncover and develop. That something could be talent beyond our wildest dreams, or that something could be an idea and will change the world. Imagine if every one allowed God to brand them, our world would be transformed.

So, are you going to answer the call? God is knocking on your door, will you answer? You are called to be soo much more than what you are! God wants to establish a kingdom of people who He has touched and helped so that we can help others so that they can be helped and touched by God. GOD IS CALLING YOU!!!! YES YOU. It is not a coincidence you are reading this Blog, God is calling!!

If you want a change, and you are serious then you can join me in becoming branded by God!! Know that He loves you unconditionally and he wants the absolute best for you. Therefore seek God diligently, ask him what he wants to do. Ask him to reveal the plans he has for you. Become desperate in knowing. Don’t give up when he doesn’t answer right away; He wants to make sure you are serious. How bad do you want this??

Let’s pray “Heavenly Father, I ask that You reveal the plans You have for your people. We love You, we want You, we NEED You, we crave You. We want You to shape and mould us into new creatures that You have designed. God please, show us in a clear way so that we can understand what You want. We understand that our timing is not your timing so we will wait patiently for your answer and we will keep asking You and keep seeking You until You show us. We thank You and GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY. Amen”
