T.D. Jakes - Sermon: The Secret to Elevation - Part 1.Learn about finding true fulfillment in this first installment of T.D. Jakes Sermons “View From the Top: The Secret to Elevation.”
Bishop Jakes centers his message on the story of Christ’s transfiguration and the calling of the three disciples who followed Him upwards. A central point of this passage is that when you are called and chosen when God shows you “glimpses of His glory,” you are set apart.
The “uniqueness of the path” that God chooses for you means that you cannot be common in your associations. To follow Christ up the mountain and witness His glory, the three disciples had to leave the other nine. To progress in your walk with God, you must be willing to forsake the familiar and venture into the unfamiliar. Your faith is proven throughout your whole journey – both in the valley and the mountain.
Another highlight of T.D. Jakes’ sermon is his focus on the mountain itself. It was the highest mountain in Galilee and, for the disciples, would have meant a change of scenery, a change of climate, thinning of the air, and relative unknowns. Jesus, however, takes them step by step. He leads them upwards gradually.
While progressing in your Christian walk requires patience and perseverance, Jesus knows what you can handle. Your journey toward your purpose pushes you to new places, and you will experience struggle – but the view is worth it.
As T.D. Jakes says in his message, “It is not for God alone that I chase Him. He has the secret to my potential…and I had to chase Him to find out who I was.”
You are “becoming.” Forget what is behind, and reach for what lies ahead.
Joel Osteen (May-07-2022) Daily Devotion: God’s Deep Secrets.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.' But it was to us that God revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets." 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, NLT
TODAY'S WORD: Who do you share your deepest secrets with? Most people only share their inner thoughts with those who are closest to them. People they trust. People they’ve gone through experiences with. Do you know who God shares His secrets with? This passage goes on to say, “Who can know a man’s thoughts except his own spirit?” As believers, God’s Spirit lives inside of us, revealing to us the heart and thoughts of God Himself.
God wants you to know what He thinks about you. He wants you to know about the plans He has for you. He wants to show you things you’ve never seen, heard about, or even imagined. You are His child, but you are also His friend. You are His closest companion. He wants to walk with you, talk with you, and share with you. What a wonderful, amazing thought — we can know God’s thoughts because we are one with Him. Open your heart and allow Him to share His deep secrets with you today.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father in heaven, I am so humbled that You call me friend. I am honored to be connected with You and invite You to share Your heart with me. I surrender all that I am to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
