Who Labelled You?

Who Labelled You? 

Sometimes we label ourselves unfit before we even face the battle. We only hear that there might be a challenge and we decide that its impossible for us to achieve it. 

The bible notes that the people of Israel went to take a look at the promised land and they all agreed that it was really really fruitful but all of them except 2 said 'well but we are like grasshoppers so we might as well forget it. We cannot, we will never be able to, we are too weak, too small, too .....

Numbers‬ ‭13:27, 33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

.

There we saw the giants ( the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.””

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13:27, 33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

They labelled themselves unfit! When we saythings like " I know i can't" 'I am a slow learner' "I am not as smart' "Its beyond me". With words like this,we declare ourselves failures before the exams begins.

Once i hear someone say " i know myself, i am not good at this or that", i already know that that opportunity is lost to you.

Just as we label ourselves unfit, sometimes we get labelled by people around us. Our parent may label us as unproductive or irresponsible, our teachers may label us as a slow learner. Society may label us unmarriable, a geek or ugly.

Just like a product cannot label itself so also the producer is the only one who can label and write out the capabilities and limitations of a product.

God labels us and tells us in Phillipians 4:13"“But we have the mind of Christ.”‬‬, “And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So please next time you think you cannot achieve something,ask yourself if that is what God labelled you or if you labelled yourself.

I pray that God will open our eyed to know that His grace which is sufficient for us is all we need. I ask this for His love's sake.
