Do you ever feel a lack of purpose in life? Do you ever wonder if you have the gifts, talents and abilities to do great works in life? Well, if this is you be encouraged, because you have more than it takes to do anything you’ve ever imagined.

Too many people go around with doubts, mixed emotions, and insecurities when it comes to doing greater works. But you should know that God can do extraordinary things using ordinary people in seemingly small ways. He can take the person with the lack of experience, the least talents, and the smallest potential to bring forth a greater outcome.

Remember, we serve a Philippians 4:13 God. That means we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

You see, in the natural, it might be true. You may not have the skills to do extraordinary things. But with God on your side, you can do the impossible.

My friends, God has sown seeds of greatness on the inside of you. You have natural born abilities. It’s up to you to tap into those seeds of greatness. There is no such thing as a person that God can’t use.

We’ve heard too many stories of the little people who have gone on to do great things. In the Bible, Joseph, was in prison for a crime that he didn’t commit. I’m sure he felt inadequate. He probably even felt less than ordinary.

But the thing about Joseph was, he had a natural born ability to interpret dreams. While in prison, he interpreted the dreams of two prisoners who happened to be a chief cup-bearer and chief baker to Pharaoh. Not too long after this, these two prisoners were released from prison to go back to Pharaoh. Two years later, Pharaoh had a dream and they referred Joseph to Pharaoh to interpret his dream as well. And because of this, Joseph had favor in Pharaoh’s eyes and he appointed Joseph as ruler over Egypt.

It turned out that this ordinary person, Joseph, used the gift God gave him and it led him from the lowly place of the prison walls to being in charge over Egypt.

Now, you may say, “I can’t interpret dreams,” or “I’m too ordinary, I have no abilities, God can’t use me.” But know today that God can use even you to do a mighty work for the kingdom.

What are the things that you love most in life? What gives you the greatest joy? What are you most passionate about? You’ll be surprised, the very thing that you love to do is the thing that God will use to promote you. Remember, with man it’s impossible but with God, all things are possible. If you’ll look for ways to advance yourself, you’ll discover that God can use you in extraordinary ways as you charge forth on your journey of life!
