“Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”
— Psalm 71:21
Dearly beloved, greatness is your heritage as a believer. It is not something that you are meant to struggle for or crave for. It’s your inheritance and it is in your DNA because your heavenly father is greatness personified. So therefore his greatness should flow through you. In fact your life should be a reflection of his greatness.
“Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.”
— 1 Chronicles 29:12-13
So how can you manifest his greatness? This is what I have been sharing with you from our last lesson and today by his grace, I intend to continue in the same direction. So without much ado, let’s examine another powerful key to unlocking unusual greatness. Here we go!
2. You Must Be Incurably Hungry
What do I mean by this? I mean that you must possess a hunger that can’t be conquered or quenched! To keep rising and rising in life, my dear reader, you need to stay hungry. The problem at times is that as people rise in life they get complacent and lose their appetite and hunger.
You must never make this mistake if you want to experience an uncommon greatness. Never lose your hunger if you really want to see unusual greatness. God cannot take you beyond your level of hunger and desire.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
— Matthew 5:6
So stay hungry all the time. I want you to know that:
I. There is more than enough that is available in God, so never settle for less.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
— John 10:10
II. No matter where you are or what you have done, there are new territories and dimensions that you are yet to experience.
“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left.”
— Isaiah 54:2-3
Impossibility is nothing with God.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
— Luke 1:37
So my admonition to you today is to never allow your milestones to become a monument! Instead use them as a stepping stone to greatness. Keep pushing and marching forward. You only rest when you see his face.
As you walk with this attitude and mentality, I guarantee you that unusual greatness will be a living reality in your life and works in Jesus name amen.

Prayer for Today: Lord, restore my hunger and appetite for you today in Jesus name amen.
CONFESSION: I refuse to settle for something lesser. I will only be satisfied with the dissatisfaction that has to be satisfied again and again! I want more of God and his reality. Nothing lesser! Therefore my faith is released today for everything that God has to offer me in Jesus name amen.
