NO MORE EXCUSES | TO THE FUTURE SERIES

KHQ

Jeremiah 1:1-12 NLT

Premise

⁃ What has held many back from maximizing God given potential as well as experiencing the best of the future that will become a present reality is the excuses one makes based on what they see instead of what God knows. The difference between the two is that what we see can sometimes cause one to lack faith and the truth of God requires faith if purpose will be fulfilled, assignments completed, and destiny arranged. Excuses must die if the future is going to live.

Prophetic Insight

1. Divine positioning is strategic and should never be taken lightly. Your journey will align with people who could be experiencing the same type of doubts, fears, and worries. No matter what, serve the will of God by fulfilling purpose!

“The Lord first gave messages to Jeremiah during the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.”

Jeremiah 1:2 NLT

2. The Lord knew, equipped, and sent you long before you knew or understood life. Therefore it is imperative that we never doubt the sovereignty of God because he knows ALL things including your where, how, and when. YOU are responsible for accepting the WHO.

““I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.””

Jeremiah 1:5 NLT

3. We must never offer excuses when God is involved because not only will He provide but He will protect! Obedience to the instructions of God propels destiny and fosters faith.

““O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”” Jeremiah 1:6-8 NLT

4. It’s not just resources, experience or education that is needed for the purpose of God on your life but a touch from God that will bring the confidence needed for the assignment.

“Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth!”

Jeremiah 1:9 NLT

5. The mission of God for you and your community may seem huge but it is necessary! Never abandon instruction because of emotion. God is FAITHFUL to watch over His word and keep it.

“Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.””

Jeremiah 1:10 NLT

“And the Lord said, “That’s right, and it means that I am watching, and I will certainly carry out all my plans.””

Jeremiah 1:12 NLT
