STAND OUT FOR GOD
"God never does anything accidentally. He never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything He creates." (Rick Warren)

If we believe that God made each of us unique and special, it follows that we are outstanding in at least one area over the six billion or more lives on this planet. This special quality that God has placed in you and I makes us stand out. This has been shown in the lives of the people that God used.

David was outstanding as he alone dared to face Goliath and killed him.This special quality was so obvious to all that they even composed a song that rhymed, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."
Daniel and his friends were outstanding in wisdom and were ten times better than the wise men of Babylon.

"And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm."(Dan 1:19-20)

The same spirit that elevated David from being a shepherd boy to being a giant killer and a king is in us.
Let us rise above the spirit of inferiority that limits and makes us small and stops us from being what God has made us to be- that is, to be outstanding.

Last Monday night, Grace and I attended the inaugural Merdeka Awards function at the KLCC Philharmornic Hall where our PM handed awards to some individuals and organisations that had made outstanding contributions for the advancement of Malaysia and its people in five different categories. (

As I looked around the hall, I could recognise the faces of many who have made outstanding contributions to our nation. As a result of their contributions, everyone of them helped our nation to benefit in those areas which would otherwise remained undeveloped and backward. Every person who is outstanding is a pioneer in some areas and he/she can help push open doors that will help others.

Let us rise above the spirit of inferiority and step into the outstanding destiny that is within us by the Spirit of God. Each of you can help others break into a new area of growth and victory. Step into your outstandingness!
God has set us free from every spirit of inferiority. Refuse to allow inferiority to cap our growth and stature.
Arise and shine for you are no longer unimportant and insignificant but you are outstanding for the Lord!!
