John 1:45-46 (NLT)
"Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about, His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.
Nazareth! exclaimed Nathanael.
Can anything good come from Nazareth?
Come and see for yourself, Philip replied.
People wonder in awe when they hear the name of your family or where you come from.
They even become surprise when they see you embarking on a project, education or ministry because to them, it is not possible for somebody like you to achieve something good or great.
We are surrounded by people, family and friends who don't think we can do something profitable in life but just as Nathanael exclaimed when he heard that Jesus' father, Joseph, came from Nazareth, so will those family and friends of yours exclaim in surprise when they hear of the good thing we will produce.
I prophesy into your life that just as something good came from Nazareth, may you produce something good and great for your family, company, marriage and the world.
People tend to doubt your capabilities because of a perceived ideology of your race and family and therefore they become so blind to the good things that you can offer.
This is what happened in the days of Jesus. The other parts of Israel perceived the people of Nazareth as having a poor reputation in morals and religion. Others also despised the people of Nazareth because of their attitude of independence. But these are not the things that mattered to God.
I urge you to ignore what people think about you, your race or family and believe in what you can do for yourself through the power of God which is in you.
God always sees the opposite of what men see or consider about you.
If they see failure, God sees success, if the consider incompetency, God considers ccompetency.
Peoples thoughts and ideas about you would not limit God in accomplishing great things in you.
Just believe that just as God used Nazareth to bring something good, likewise would he use you to bring good things and the people who doubted you would marvel in awe.
Keep in doing the good things you are doing for a time is coming when people would see the good things the you are capable of producing. Just as the psalmist wrote in Psalm 1:3, that;
"they are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do".
If people think that nothing good can come from you, just tell them that your season is yet to come.
Your season would change the mentality that people have about you because good things come in their season.
Exercise patience, for God has prepared a special season, time and year for you that the whole world would see only good things coming out of you and they will exclaim just as Nathanael did.
God bless you for reading.
