In this episode, we are reminded that our weaknesses do not surprise God and our feelings are not strong enough to cancel His purpose.

Drawing from Romans 8:28–31, Isaiah 46:10–11, and Job 42:2, this message encourages every believer who feels confronted by personal frailty, fear, inadequacy, or emotional instability. God saw your today before He called you. He knew your limitations before He assigned you. He took your struggles into account before placing purpose in your hands.

This episode is a call to rest in God’s faithfulness, trust His counsel, and keep moving. Your feelings are real, but they are not final. Your weakness may be present, but it is not decisive. What God has spoken, He will bring to pass; what He has purposed, He will also do.

Key encouragement: Keep moving. God already took it into account.

There is nothing going on in your life right now. Lord your weaknesses. Lord your glory. Lord you. Before God called you, He already saw what you are seeing now. And he still chose to involve you in that purpose. Good morning and welcome to igniting your day with Mammy Delhi or Lord. I have a word of encouragement for someone today. It is very direct. And this is it. It has already been taken into account. It has already been taken into account. This is for someone who has recently observed a particular frailty in his or her life. You have come face to face with the reality that in a certain area of your life you are not as strong as you thought. I do not know what happened, but something forced you to conclude that in this area you are not so strong after all. You are confronted with the reality of a particular weakness, the reality of a particular limitation, the reality of a particular frailty in your life. But the Lord wants me to tell you this: it has already been considered. Let me say it in another way. God sought that thing in advance before calling you. God sought that thing in advance before calling you the way He called you. God saw that thing in advance before inviting you to participate in this journey called purpose. You may be the only one feeling surprised right now, but God already took your today into account when he called you and gave you the assignment he has given you. That is a word of encouragement for you this morning. God already took your today into account. God fornew before he called. Romans chapter 8, verse 28 to 31 says, and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he predestined, he also called. God saw your present struggles before he included you in his triumphant army. Before he called you, he knew your limitations. Before he assigned you, he knew your fears. Before he trusted you with purpose, he already knew the areas where you would feel inadequate. So do not let what you are seeing now discourage you. Right now, you have only one assignment. Keep moving. Keep moving. Keep moving. Do you remember what the Bible says concerning Noah? The Bible said he moved with fear. Likewise, I am encouraging you, keep moving. Keep moving. There is nothing going on around you today that God did not already consider when He gave you the assignment you are working on right now. God already took everything into account. Do not let what you are saying now discourage you. Your weakness does not surprise God. Your limitations do not disqualify you. Your present struggles were already taken into account when he called you according to his purpose. This is what Romans 8 reminds us of. God's involvement in our lives is not accidental. He fornew us. He predestined us. He called us. He justified us. He glorified us. That means his plan was not formed after seeing your strength. No. His plan was not formed after seeing your performance. No. His plan for you was not formed after discovering that you had certain gifts and abilities. No, sir. No, ma. His plan was established with full knowledge of who you are today. So the question is this if God who saw your today still gave you the assignment he gave you and still empowered you the way he did, uh uh, who can be against you? I encourage you to navigate today with confidence. Yes, there is a confidence in God with which you must navigate today. I do not know what is ahead of you, but I know that his plans towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil. Whatever is around you that you call a frailty, whatever is around you that you call a weakness, God saw it ahead of time and put all of them into account when he was fashioning you and giving you the assignment in your hand right now. God saw you ahead. God knew you were ahead, and he still gave you what you are doing right now. So keep moving. This is the declaration we are making today. We keep moving, we keep moving as individuals, we keep moving as families, we keep moving in our companies, we keep moving in our assignments, we keep moving in purpose. Yes. There may be struggles here and there, but God saw them ahead before calling you. God saw them ahead before giving you this beautiful assignment. Tell yourself today, I keep moving, I keep moving, I keep moving. God saw you ahead before committing into your hands what he committed into your hands. And it will interest you to know that how you feel about those so-called frailties matter less than you think. Why? Because they have already been taken into account. Those frailties, those weaknesses, those misses, those gaps, they have already been taken into account. So why not rest in the Lord and keep moving? Why not rest in the Lord and keep moving? Isaiah chapter 46, verse 10 to 11 says, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times, things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do my pleasure. Calling the bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a far country. Indeed, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass. I have proposed it, I will also do it. Please take note of that construction. I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass. I have proposed it, I will also do it. This tells us that your feelings along the way are not strong enough to cancel what God has proposed. God says, I have proposed it, I will also do it. Can you declare this this morning? I keep moving, I keep moving, I keep moving. I also saw in that passage that God is not limited like man. Isaiah 46 11 shows us that God is not limited by man. He says, He calls a bird of prey from the east, and the man who executes my counsel from a far country. This points to God's ability to use people, to use nations, to use events, to use programs, even from far countries to accomplish his plan. God's counsel stands and it stands strong. What I'm telling you this morning is that the feeling you are having right now because of your perceived frailty is not final in the grand scheme of things. Why? Because God saw it ahead. He took it into account before placing this particular thing in your hands. He took it into account before enabling you to do the things that you are doing right now. Yes. Thank God for the ability to acknowledge what has happened. But let me say this to you again: God saw it ahead. God saw it ahead. God saw it ahead. Yes. Job chapter 42, verse 2 says, I know that you can do everything and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you. Friends, this is the testimony in the book of Job. God can do all things, and no purpose of his can be thwarted. No purpose of his can be thwarted. So instead of being worried, I will be full of gratitude, saying, Lord, I thank you for making it possible for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing to stand against me, not even my feelings. Yes, you made it impossible for anything to stand against me, not even my feelings. The message today is simple. God does not just announce plans, God performs his plans. He is a performer. God's ability to perform is so great that your current weaknesses are not denied by him. He is an extraordinary strategist. He has already put into account even those areas where you are considering yourself not as strong as you should be. He has put everything into account so that he maintains his status not only as a planner but also as a performer. God indeed is a performer. Therefore, I proceed this month doing everything God expects me to do. Yes, that is why I'm saying to you as well. Keep moving. Tell yourself today, I keep moving. I keep moving. The fulfillment of God's purpose in your life rests on his faithfulness and not on your emotional stability. We all need to know this. This needs to sink in. Let me say that again. The fulfillment of God's purpose in my life, in your life, rests on his faithfulness and not on our emotional stability. Yes. So keep moving. Your feelings may be real, but they are not final. Your weakness may be real, but it's not decisive. Your fear may be present, but it does not have authority over God's counsel. So keep moving. Keep moving. If there is anything I want you to go away with this morning, it is this. Yes, your feelings may be real, but they are not potent enough to thwart the purpose of God for your life. Yes, they are not strong enough to thwart the purpose of God for your life. They are not strong enough to thwart the purpose of your life, of God for your life this year. They are not strong enough to thwart the purpose of God for your life this month. They are not strong enough to thwart the purpose of God for your life this week. They are not strong enough to thwart the purpose of God for your life today. Yes, we acknowledge the feelings because we are humans, but I choose to keep moving because those feelings are not powerful enough to disrupt the counsel of God for my life. Keep moving, my brother, keep moving, my sister, keep moving. Do not stop because of what you just discovered about yourself. Do not quit because of what you are feeling. Do not abandon purpose because of a present weakness. God saw it before he called you. God considered it before he assigned you. God took it into account before he placed purpose into your hands. So today I declare with confidence that I keep moving. Lord bless you in the name of Jesus. I wish you an amazing day ahead. Be a blessing to someone. Share this with the Lord today.
