You may be saying that what is true about you is that you are ignored. And because everybody ignores you, you are wondering how this life can be great. You are asking, how can your life be great when at home, you are ignored? At work you are ignored, even when a new person comes, they will pass you over and choose the new person. And that is how it has been. So, Pastor, how can I be important? How can I ever be great?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guess what? Yes, \u2018ignored\u2019 and \u2018important\u2019 cannot coexist in the same equation, unless you add something to it. So, \u2018ignored\u2019 plus \u2018nothing is impossible with God\u2019 equals \u2018important\u2019. You know that even if they conduct an election in your family, you will not win. But with God on your side, with God in your equation, with God on your table, and with God on your side of the equation you become important. Listen, all you need to say to God is, \u201cHere I am. I do not know how you are going to do this. I do not even understand it, but I am available.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or you may be saying that what you know to be true about yourself is that you are sinful. So, how can you be holy? Pastor, how can I be acceptable to God because without holiness no one can see God? Yes, without holiness no one can see God and that is a fact. But guess what? While \u2018sinful\u2019 and \u2018holy\u2019 do not coexist in the same equation. If you take sinful and you add <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will get Holy. Therefore, \u2018sinful\u2019 plus \u2018nothing is impossible with God\u2019 equals \u2018Holy\u2019. And all you need to do is say to God, \u201cHere I am\u201d. I did that for my life in 1995.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be saying that what is true about you is failure. And \u2018failure\u2019 and \u2018significance\u2019 do not coexist, \u2018failure\u2019 and \u2018greatness\u2019 do not coexist. But guess what? Here is the good news. \u2018Failure\u2019 plus \u2018nothing is impossible with God\u2019 equals \u2018eternal significance\u2019. God says to you in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/isa.60.15\">Isaiah 60:<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/1\/isa.60.15\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an <\/span><\/i><b><i>eternal excellency<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a joy of many generations<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d (KJV, emphasis added). Again, all you need to say is, \u201cGod, here I am!\u201d Are you going to say that today?
