Never lag in zeal and
in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord
(Romans 12:11 AMP).
Part of the reason
young people can be very successful, where older people fail, is that many
young people don’t know enough to be afraid. Most older people know too much;
they have too much information about what doesn’t work. They remember when they
tried out something and it failed, and so they became cynical. It’s a lot
harder to inspire such people to make a fresh move or have a fresh start.
Understand that being
old in this context isn’t so much about a person’s age, but about the state of
his mind. Your body might age, but refuse to age in your mind. Think fresh; think
success. God loves to use young people, because they think fresh all the time;
they easily believe, and are always passionate about learning something new.
It’s never too late to
learn and be inspired by a dream of success. Even if you’re already grey-headed
and advanced in years, God can still use you. Moses was one hundred and twenty
years old when he died, and at that age, he was still strong and vibrant. The
Bible says, “...His eyesight was sharp; he still walked with a spring in his
step” (Deuteronomy 34:7 MSG).
What will you be like
when you’re ninety-two? I can tell, if you put this message to work: You won’t
be crying that nothing works. Instead, you’ll be the one teaching and imparting
faith to the younger generation. You’ll be changing lives with the Gospel,
speaking in tongues, prophesying, and speaking words of faith by the power of
the Holy Spirit!
PRAYER: Dear Father, I
thank you for stirring my heart with your Word to gain the right inspiration!
My mind is anointed to see and accept possibilities. I’m energized and aglow in
my spirit to impact the world of my time, through supernatural ideas inspired
in me by your Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
