Jesus didn’t stay where He wasn’t valued. He went to the next city where the multitudes showed up, and many were healed. Jesus went from town to town, city to city, village to village, because He only went where He was celebrated—not where He was tolerated.
When He sent His disciples out on their own, He told them in Matthew 10:14 (NLT), “If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave.”
If you’re in a place where you’re not being valued, very few miracles can be done. Leave there, so you can go where you will be welcomed, valued, and celebrated. Never stay where you’re not valued; that’s my mantra.
Discern the agenda of other people’s direction for your life, but find the courage to follow your own heart. It will lead you to your chosen destiny. Beware! Your heart may not always follow the crowd. You must be willing to stand alone as you follow God. Another person’s opinion should never override your heart. Your heart is the birthplace for your increase or your decrease. The Word of God says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (Proverbs 4:23, NLT).
Some people do things so naturally that they don’t even recognize that it is truly a gift or talent that is being underutilized. Knowing your gifts and creating a vision for how to use them is important to becoming all that you are meant to be. Taking action is vital to your success. Don’t be afraid because you’re not a celebrity or people don’t know you. Your job is not to open a door; that’s God’s job. As long as you step out in faith and walk towards the door, those doors will be opened. If a door doesn’t open, you may be going in the wrong direction. Don’t allow the word “No” to stop you from looking for another door. If you keep going, eventually you will get a “Yes.”
