The Opposition

Facing our giants is never easy.  The bullies, haters, naysayers and antagonist boast themselves up pretty big against us.  Oppositions are very rarely quiet or fair.  They work very hard to make us believe that they have it together better than we do and that they are better suited for the call then we are.  Here is the part that is vitally important that opposition misses, it is not an interview, it is a calling.  God did not call them to be you or to be in your place.  It is, in fact, yours by God’s decree.  

Yes, the lies of inadequacy can scream pretty loud and seem far too real.  The truth is that we are all horribly inept for our task, at first.  We must grow into it.  We must learn in falling forward into becoming great.  This is training not inadequacy.    

Opposition exploits the failures of our training period and seeks to make us believe that we will never be better.  But…no one is great at first we train, commit, learn and develop into greatness.  It is a process that is specifically designed to bring the called person in to their unique calling. Like a key that is shaped for a lock.  There are doors that only you can open.  Battles only you can win and purposes that only you can fulfill.  Do not allow the “wannabes” to talk you down from that place that you are called to be. 

This is a calling, not an opportunity for opposition to audition.  This is for you and you are irreplaceable.
