Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 2nd November 2023
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 2nd November 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: No Ordinary Child
Today’s Scripture
“At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child.” – Acts 7:20, NIV
When Moses was born, there was something special about him. As he grew up, he could sense his destiny was to deliver the Israelites out of slavery. He had good intentions, but he made a mistake and ended up having to spend forty years in hiding. I can imagine he could have worn the labels of failure, washed-up, loser. But deep down he could hear that still small voice telling him, “You are no ordinary child. There is greatness in you.” And when his time came to deliver the Israelites, he believed what God said and fulfilled his destiny.
Just because you’ve made mistakes doesn’t stop your destiny. You are a child of the Most High God. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. You’ve been crowned with favor. What’s trying to stop you doesn’t have a chance. God being for you is more than the world being against you. That dream may seem too big for some people, but not for you. You’re no ordinary child. God placed greatness in you. You are destined to leave your mark.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for entrusting me with gifts and talents and dreams. Thank You that I have greatness in me because You put it there. Help me to come out of hiding and release what You’ve given me. I believe that I am no ordinary child because I am Your child. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
