.Acts 4:13 
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

DAILY READING –  1 Corinthians 6, 1 Kings 19, Amos 3:

The life of Mary Slessor, is a glaring example of what God can do with anyone who would believe and step out in faith.
On August 5th, 1876, Mary Slessor arrived in Calabar..Her only great desire was to preach where other missionaries had not been.  Mary would begin working as  a missionary among the most savage tribes of the hinterland. She lived among these natives and practically singlehandedly tamed and transformed three pagan communities in succession. On her long trips through the jungles and in canoes, she was often found barefoot, carrying in her arms twin babies whom she had rescued from being murdered. Her missionary career was marked by strange adventures, daring feats, signal providences, and wonderful achievements. From an ordinary factory girl, Mary Slessor advanced into the foremost rank of missionary pathfinders. 

Indeed Goers for God are getters for God. If Mary Slessor  could face the darkness of the African continent and overcome it with the light of God so can anyone strike out in faith and do the incredible. We  have to realize that it is not us but God working through us. 

Whatever assignment God has called us to do, will require boldness and faith to accomplish it. And the secret of boldness is being with Jesus.

Acts 4:13  says ‘Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.’

When we spend time with Jesus in His Word, boldness is imparted into our hearts. Knowledge of God is what causes us to do exploits. They that know their God they shall be strong and do exploits. When the Word dominates your heart you will be turned into another man. Your heart will receive an inoculation of Faith and boldness that will cause you to do extra ordinary things. indeed when we meditate on The Word we become bold and courageous, to possess the land.

When we keep our eyes on God we will be full of faith and be dependent on His abilities.
There is still so much God wants to do with our lives. There are territories to be explored and new chapters of exploits to be written. Therefore refuse to end up as another statistics. Dare to be different, dare to accomplish the extra ordinary by the help of The Spirit of God. It is God that works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Mary Slessor would often repeat, “It is not Mary Slessor, but God ..”

We are in a time when kingdom stars are rising. Don’t be left behind. Determine to stand out and shine for Christ. 

PRAYER: Lord, by Your grace, I will not end my life’s journey in obscurity, by Your light may I be distinguished from my peers in Jesus mighty name.
