Make Room for Others to Go Further
John 14:12
"Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I am going to the Father."
God never intended for your calling to stop with you. The anointing is not a finish line. It is a starting point for others. When you pour into someone else, when you invest in their journey, you are multiplying the work of God in the world.
This is the legacy Jesus left with His disciples. He did not just heal and teach. He empowered others to go further. He expected that His followers would carry His mission forward with power and boldness. And He gave them His Spirit to do it.
The same is true for you. There is someone in your life who is meant to rise higher because of your encouragement, your guidance, your investment. Legacy is not about being remembered. It is about helping others walk into what God has called them to do. When you give away what you carry, the kingdom expands.
Reflection:
Who in your life could go further if you took time to encourage them? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you someone to lift up. Today, make space for a conversation, a prayer, or a word of encouragement that helps someone step into their purpose.
Prayer:
"Father, thank You for inviting me into Your work. Help me see the people around me who need encouragement to step into what You have for them. Let me be a person who makes room for others to grow. Multiply what You have placed in me by using it to build others up. Amen."
