I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. (1 Corinthians 3:6)

There is a beauty in understanding who you are in Christ and being satisfied with that place appointed you by His very throne. One of the most effective tactics of the enemy is putting you in a place that was never designed for you. Remember, His yoke is easy.

One might think I am an evangelist but it is not really so. I have had a rare privilege to lead people into salvation, however, my life’s work seems to be more about planting seeds and strengthening believers in a deeper walk with Christ.

For years, I spent much time wondering why I was such a failure. If I had the power of Christ in me, why then, was I not seeing more salvations in my meetings?

Then one day the Lord gave me a new song called, “Now Go.” In the lyric line read this: “I just need a willing heart willing to go plant the seed…”

This settled my heart greatly to be content with my role in the body of Christ. He places every member perfectly in place.  I had to learn that God would always send someone behind me to water the seed and He, then, was responsible for the increase.

One of the greatest travesties in the body of Christ is a heart attempting with all their might to be like another. This never works in the ways of God.

You’re equipped and graced for the work Christ designed you for. Nothing more and nothing less. So you must quit trying on everyone else’s clothing, please.

Christ is a unique fragrance upon your heart that is not seen in any other. You must be exactly who YOU were designed to be.

Anointing cannot be manufactured. It is a gift from God and His very presence that manifests in a life.

Lay down the attempts to do what someone else has done. Follow the same path another has gone, or striving to be what you were never intended to be. It will exhaust you in the end.

We need the YOU in the body. Plain and simple.
