Can the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth get tired? Do you know that the Bible says that He does get tired? Want to know how? This is what Malachi 2:17 says:
“You have wearied the LORD with your words”
You can weary God with your words.
Again Malachi 3:13-14 says,
“Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the LORD, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the LORD of hosts?”
We may not outrightly speak like this. But when we say things like I am not good enough, I cannot do it, I am a loser, you are wearying God with your words, and thereby limiting God with your words.
God wants to do big things in your life. God wants to give you nations(Acts 2:8). But when we speak things like How is it going to be possible? I can’t even speak properly, I’m not qualified, you are limiting God.
Do you know that one of the names of God is, “I Am”? And how many times do we take the name of the Lord in vain? When you say I am not worthy, I am incapable, I am so ugly, I am not beautiful like her or gifted like her, you are taking the Lord’s name in vain and you are wearing your God.
Your words are the only extent to which God will work in your life. If you think God can do only this much in your life, that will become the limit to which God will work in your life.
Consider this: whatever you see God did for anyone in the Word of God is an invitation for you. If God can do it for Abraham, He can do it for you. If He can do it for Ruth, He can do it for you.
Only, never limit God by your own words.
