Step Aside

This is a guest post by a fellow minister and friend, Antwain Braggs. I hope you are encouraged to allow God to work out his perfect plan in your life. For more information follow his ministry at www.crossoverinternational.org

We have become pro’s at juggling things that God never told us to juggle. I recognize that this is an effort to help God execute His plan for our lives but it actually prevents us from experiencing the fullness of what He has prepared for us before hand.

My life has been a series of failure and successes all tangled up together ultimately working for my good yet I must admit that it would have been a lot better had I not decided to pick up occupations, relationships, ministerial opportunities and friendships God never approved of from the beginning. These were all signs that I was afraid to step aside and allow God full reign in my life! I found out that if I am going to reach destiny without losing the strategies I picked up on my journey I must learn the art of Stepping aside.
If we lose the strategies before reaching our destination it defeats the purpose of getting to the stage. The Holy Spirit encouraged me this morning to share a few points with you and I am delighted to do so.

Stepping aside requires trust, humility, submission, and inner fortitude! Trust- trusting God with every detail of your life even when there are no signs that says He is presently orchestrating your every step!

Humility- Yielding over your will! Becoming co-dependent upon Him and emptying ourselves of former experiences that might cloud our ability to see the NEW!

Submission- Submitting to the Mission he has for you even in times of difficulty and despair.

Inner Fortitude- the strength that comes from within that is exercised by constant reminders of who we are in Christ… Phil 4:16 ( for meditation) Elder B
