God Didn’t Bring You This Far to Leave You
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ" – Philippians 1:6
There is something I need you to understand today. You ready?
God didn’t lead you to this point in your life just to abandon you. The enemy wants you to believe otherwise. He wants to use your circumstances to convince you to quit, give in, or simply fade into the background. His goal is to make you feel like there’s no point in pushing forward. But the very fact that you are still here. Still worshiping, still seeking God, still showing up., proves that you haven’t given him the victory.
You may not feel like spending time alone with Him. But sometimes your greatest act of worship is simply showing up and saying, “God, I have faith. I’m here. I love You. I want to obey You. Help me.” That’s not weakness, that’s surrender. And surrender is where God’s strength meets you.
But there’s another step that takes your faith even deeper. It’s when you choose not only to bless God, but to bless others in the middle of your own struggle. That’s where the anointing of God begins to flow in a fresh way. When you can encourage someone else even while you’re still waiting for your own breakthrough, you start to see God working through you in ways you never expected.
The enemy hates when you do this because it shifts the focus from your problem to God’s purpose. Instead of sitting in defeat, you become a vessel of hope. Instead of shutting down, you open up the flow of God’s love to people who need it. And often, in blessing others, you’ll find that your own spirit is strengthened.
So don’t quit now. Don’t give the enemy the satisfaction of watching you step back. You are still in the middle of the work God is doing, and He’s not finished yet. Keep showing up. Keep blessing God. Keep blessing people. Because He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. He brought you here to use you.
