It's Mine

Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

Grounded in Caleb’s 45-year wait to claim his mountain in Joshua 14, Bishop Noel Jones teaches that God’s promises are guaranteed regardless of time, age, or overwhelming circumstances. Believers are called to trust in the unchangeable nature and divine timing of God, embracing their unique identity rather than comparing themselves to others. Even when situations feel out of human control, God remains faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken over our lives.

Themes

Faithfulness of GodGod's Promises and Divine TimingEmbracing Individual CallingOvercoming Obstacles through TrustSpiritual Identity vs. Comparison

Key Points

1.
Caleb remained faithful through 45 years of waiting in the wilderness, trusting completely that God would fulfill His promise to him.
2.
True fulfillment of your destiny comes from embracing who God uniquely created you to be rather than trying to emulate anyone else.
3.
When you cannot understand what God is doing or why difficult circumstances occur, you must anchor yourself in who God is.
4.
Taking your eyes off God causes you to view yourself like a grasshopper, whereas focusing on God reveals the power He has placed within you.
5.
God's unchangeable nature and immutability serve as the anchor that holds believers steady through long seasons of delay and trial.
6.
A divine promise is often contradistinctive to your present situation so that when it comes to pass, only God receives the glory.
7.
Surrendering control to God forces believers to develop deeper trust in His timing, knowing He controls the promise, the timeline, and the outcome.

Sermon Moments

“When you can't understand what he does, you have to understand who he is.”

“If you see yourself in light of the God that's behind you, you do not assess yourself as minuscule or microscopic.”

“It is in being who you are, not in the effort to be anybody else, that you have a fulfilling of your destiny.”

“Time and space is only a platform for the eternity and the infinity of God to reveal himself to your spirit.”

“When God gives you a promise and you trust the promise, you will look the devil in the face and say, 'That ain't good enough. I got a promise from the Lord.'”

“Faith is my title deed, and when you see me praising the Lord, I'm shouting on the land that I haven't seen yet.”

“The more control you have, the less you have to trust... when God takes the thing out of our control, he forces me to trust him.”

“When I promise you something, never worry that when you receive it, you'll be too old to enjoy it, because I control your life, I control my promise, and I control the time.”

This Week

Stop comparing your journey to others and embrace the unique identity and calling God has given specifically to you.

Focus on God's unchangeable character when facing confusing or painful circumstances you cannot understand.

Reject a "grasshopper mindset" by viewing life's obstacles in light of God's power rather than your own limitations.

Hold fast to God's written and spoken promises during long waiting seasons, trusting that delay is not denial.

Surrender the need to control outcomes and trust God as the driver who directs your life's acceleration and timing.

Speak faith over your future by remembering past moments where God proved Himself faithful.

Shake off the fear of missing out due to age or lost time, believing God can redeem and accelerate what He has promised.

Remember This

God's promises over your life remain valid regardless of delay or age, because the unchangeable God who gave the promise is faithful to bring it to pass.

A Challenge for You

God is getting ready to reveal the gift He placed inside you; step out in faith, stop letting fear or age hold you back, and claim the mountain God promised you.
