Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 11 August 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Sunday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Uncontainable
Today’s Scripture
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. – Acts 4:31, NIV
Today’s Word
In Acts 4, after Peter and John prayed for a lame beggar by the temple gate, a great crowd gathered because of the miracle. Peter proclaimed to them that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thousands of people believed that day, but instead of being happy about it, the religious leaders opposed them and ordered them to stop preaching in Jesus’ name.
But Peter and John knew: “We cannot be contained. God put this dream in our hearts, and as long as we stay in faith, nothing can shut it down.” Their message was not restricted. It spread like wildfire, and we’re still talking about it today. In the same way, you cannot be contained by negative people and obstacles.
God put seeds of increase inside you. Keep stretching your faith, looking for new opportunities, new ideas, and new ways to expand God’s kingdom. You were made for more, to influence more, to accomplish more, to love more, to give more, and to have more. God will take you places you’ve never dreamed of. He will bring opportunities that give you amazing influence.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that because I am Your child, I don’t have to be contained by people or obstacles. Thank You that I can press forward and take new ground, stretch my faith, believe for bigger things, and expect Your favor in greater ways. I want to advance Your kingdom in any way I can. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
