When it Looks Like the End, God Says “Not Yet”

Truthfully, being a young adult is not easy. Social media  shows you 20-year-olds( your age mate) with millions. Society asks " what have you done with your life?" Your family compares you to others . Even Church sometimes only celebrates the ones with titles.

You might go unseen,like you are not good enough,or too small to matter .

But I need you to hear this: God saw the king in you before your parent gave you a name

 Your calling started before your clapping, the platform, recognition, crowd, spotlight and celebration

Look at David in 1Samuel 16: David was anointed king while he was still a shepherd boy , Looking after his Father's sheeps . 

Nobody was clapping. His brothers didn't call Inside when Samuel came

 He was smelling like a sheep, no  follows, nothing. But  heaven already said "that's the king"

His calling started in the bush. the clapping came in the palace later

See? God chose you and started your assignment long before people noticed YOU, praised YOU, or gave YOU a platform

–The enemy attacks you because of what they see in you.

Why did Saul throw spears at David? Why did Herod  kill babies when Jesus was born?  Because the _enemy sees your crown before your friends_ do.

If you were ordinary you wouldn't be fighting anxiety, depression, comparison temptation this  much the devil doesn't Waste bullets on empty targets. You Battles are proof of your value

–what  God called you matters more than what people call you

Matthew 16:18 Peter was unstable, denying Jesus. But Jesus called him "Rock" Gideon was hiding, scared .But the angle called him "mighty man of valor" stop letting tiktok, Instagram , group chat jokes or family labels define you. If  God calls you "chosen",  "royal priesthood", "light" 1  Peter 2:9 then that's who you are. Name shape destiny. Call yourself what God calls you.

While you stay hopeful and wait on God, what should you do in your current season?

1. Serve well where you are

Luke 16:17 David killed a lion and bear before Goliath. Faithfulness in small things you do qualifies you for big things 

2.  Guard your heart

"Above all, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverb 4:23

3. Stay with God

Joseph honoured God in prison , David wrote Psalms in the bush. Your secret place is where kings are made.

You might not have the title,crown the recognition yet. But hear me; *if God has called you,no man can cancel you .*

People may call you late bloomer, broke or confused. But heaven calls you king.

So walk like it , serve like it and pray like it. In due time your name will be called.

"Humble yourselves... That he may exalt you in due time."

Your crown is already in God's hands keep growing into it
