Stretch: Higher Levels, New Dimensions

By Apostle Joshua Selman

Stretch captures within it "A Call To Press For More"; the idea of breaking out of a comfort zone, the idea of breaking out of a status quo, and breaking out of the norm; to press for the greater, higher, and nobler. It's a call that indicates that no matter what you've seen God do in your life, there's always more.

God has programmed a desire for growth within every person. Growth is essential to fulfillment. Growth is essential because what you celebrate today can become tomorrow's frustration if you remain there. God intentionally designed us to be dissatisfied with plateaus, driving us to reach new heights.

When you choose to stretch beyond your current limits, acknowledging God's hand in your life, but knowing that there's more, you'll become invaluable and impossible to ignore. Celebrating mediocrity reveals a misunderstanding or lack of understanding of God's standards. The result you see in the lives of successful people today, is a result of their dissatisfaction with yesterday. Until you surround yourself with an atmosphere, not one that makes you demean what you're doing, but the one that makes you dissatisfied, and forces you to press for more, you cannot achieve greatness.

God's goal is to craft a Believer in you who effortlessly glorifies Him. He's pruning complacency, shaping you into a vessel of excellence. Don't celebrate the things you have because those around you do not have them. True success isn't about outshining others. The goal isn't to outshine others; rather, the goal is to meet the standard God has set for you. Settle it within yourself that where you are isn't God's best for you, and determine that you will arise and press more. Empty noise and seeking validation reveal that our results are still very poor.

Your life revolves around the correctness of your perception. Rewrite your mentality, don't lie to yourself. Live by faith, but be brutally honest about your life and about your current level. When you lie to yourself, you peg yourself. When you're sincere to yourself, you make room for growth. Your physical body is an obedient servant to your mindset and your perception. When things go wrong, focus on correcting your thinking (mentality), not your body.

Walking by faith doesn't negate seeing the reality as it is. Faith superimposes the Word of God over your current reality. Stretch...
