"If this man were not of God, he could do nothing." -John 9:33
But if we are of God, what does that imply?
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." -Philippians 4:13
We are meant to do great things thru Jesus Christ, our Lord & Saviour.
We are not meant to do nothing.
God has commissioned us a great work that can be summarised in Matthew 28:19-20 & also in Mark 16:15-18
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." -John 14:12
It doesn't matter what you do for Christ as long as God gets all the glory. If you notice not all people are teachers, drivers, painters, actors, photographer, etc- we all are unique and base on our uniqueness in Christ we can give Him all the glory for it is only thru Him that we can do all things and that since He has given us life, life everlasting.
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." -Colosians 3:17
By giving God the glory, you are preaching Him. That God is working in you & that it is thru Him that you have been victorious because of what Jesus did on the cross.
"Believing makes it possible, Faith makes it real." (from the movie HOOVEY)
Those great things are only possible if we have faith. Faith in Jesus Christ.
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." -Mark 9:23
Nothing is hard for our God who created heaven & earth. Everything were made through Him without Him nothing was ever made (John 1:3)
We are meant to do great thing in Christ Jesus but it is up to us if we will believe in it. Because God won't work on the lives of those who don't believe in Him. ts not that He can't he just won't do it.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." -Hebrews 11:6
"And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus." -Matthew 14:28-29
To walk on the water is a great thing or more like impossible but Peter did it because He believed.
Don't allow those people & satan to bring you down saying, 'you are nothing. You are something in Jesus Christ.' And that something you need to figure out for you to live out your faith, your mission, your purpose in life for God's greater glory. To figure it out is only thru God's Word. Seek His Word.
To God be the glory!
