This quote of mine doesn't really make so much sense to me until last year,when I took my pen and started writing somethings I want to achieve before the year runs out and I didn't stop there,I started imagining things that I will love to achieve in 5-10 years time.
I was not going to tell anybody about it,so why don't I just allow my mind to dream big and so I kept dreaming but I met some purpose driven people that asked about those visions and everytime I was about to share them,I ended up laughing really hard because they sound so impossible.
Come to think of it,that was why Sarah laughed when the Angels told her that she would birth a son.
Getting pregnant was not something she
ever thought about at that season of her life but immediately the Angel said she will birth a son,she visioned herself pregnant,she couldn't stop herself from laughing because the vision looked really impossible.
We weren't created to live small with little goals and little dreams,from the beginning it was not so,we were created to live an abundant Life.
No matter where you are,you are not expected to get stuck and stay there forever.
God is a God of increase and He has something bigger for you in the future but before you can live as large as He has planned,it start with your thinking.
Jesus taught us this in the scripture_You can't put a new wine in an old wine skin,it will burst. This is saying you can't have a new life with your old way of thinking. You can't go about thinking you have reached your limits.
Limited thinking will cause you to live a limited life. Get rid of that old wine skin,start believing bigger, dreaming bigger and expecting bigger.
It is easy to get stuck in our small circle of life,going to work,coming back from work with so much traffic to deal with,dealing with life's pressure daily,we look up and can't see anything better than the life we are living,not releasing our faith,we are thinking this is all that there is but compared to what God has said_that is living really small.
The Scripture says that the path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter. That's the plan of God for every believer and if you can get you hopes alive again,start expecting God's goodness,you are going to come into a better life,a new level of your destiny. Now my challenge to you is,don't water your dream,stop having a tiny mentality,stop accepting less,when you know that God has created you for more. Stop accepting the status quo, because there is a pattern in your family,doesn't mean you have to follow in that pattern,break out and start the breaking out from your thinking.
You may be in a limited environment right now, perhaps you can't do anything about it but you must not let that environment get into you. Don't let mediocrity be the norm,that may be where you are now but that is not who you are,you are the child of the most High God and you must learn to chill with Him and chilling with Him means living according to His plans for your life.
You may have seen mediocrity while growing up but God is counting on you to make a difference. Nobody might have gotten high up there in your family but you can choose to make the sky your starting point. Don't let hereditary stop your destiny,don't let what was passed down convince you to settle where you are. Break out of that limited mindset,where you are now is not where you are suppose to stay. Your destiny is calling out to you.
It is a new year,another opportunity to start afresh,stop believing in the lies that Devil has told you,you have not reach your limit,there is still more,stretch some more, beyond the elastic limit,there is still a breaking point,why not stretch your vision till your breaking point.
Just because somebody doesn't believe that you can accomplish your dreams, that doesn't change anything. You don't have to have every person on board.
I know a secret, me and God are a majority. If God be for me, who dare be against me"? Start encouraging yourself, "I'm well able, I'm strong, I've got what it takes, I'm coming into a wide open, spacious life".
Friends, you are not what people say you are, you are what God says you are, He has the final say. He says I planned a wide open, spacious life for you. Get rid of that old wineskin, like Peter, start throwing out your nets, think bigger, praying bigger, expecting bigger, this is a new day. God wants to take you where you've never been, show you favor that you've never seen.
He wants you to enlarge your vision.

Beyond the elastic limit,there is still a breaking point.
