God has deposited in us, abilities beyond our comprehension! When we discover and move in what God has invested in our future, we move from the ordinary natural life into places we never imagined.
God has works and plans for us!
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.~ Ephesians 2:10
One step of obedience toward His call/purpose in our lives, no matter how small the task, can unravel God's awesome plan that will blow our socks off.
READ BELOW of the phenomenal fruit of one man's step of obedience; We're not here by accident! It's all by God's design; His master plan!

In 1855, Mr. Edward Kimball, a Sunday School teacher was used by God to lead Dwight L. Moody, a Boston shoe clerk, to give his life to Christ. D.L. Moody went on to become an evangelist. During one of his ministry trips, Evangelist Moody met F.B. Meyer, a pastor in England. Moody invited him to preach in America in 1891. While preaching on an american campus, F.B. Meyer touched the heart of J.Wilbur Chapman, who made a life-changing commitment to Christ. J. Wilbur Chapman employed a former baseball player, Billy Sunday to do evangelistic work with him.
One week, Billy Sunday held a revival in Charlotte, North Carolina. A group of local businessmen were so enthusiastic afterward that they planned another crusade bringing in Mordecai Ham for another crusade. During one of these services, a young man named Billy Graham accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour!
Now for the rest of the story! To date, Billy Graham has preached the gospel to over 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories, including many heads of state.
While George H. Bush was Vice President of the USA, and well before his son George W. Bush became Governor of Texas or USA President, Billy Graham spent a weekend with the Bush Family.
"That weekend my faith took on new meaning", the young Bush explained. "It was the beginning of a new walk where I would recommit my heart to Jesus Christ. The beginning of a change in my life!"
That weekend, with the future US President's was approximately 130 years after Mr. Kimball had led D.L. Moody to Christ.
Mr. Kimball's step of faith began a series of events that caused many to hear the gospel, including influential US Presidents. So you can see how on Sunday School teacher affected countless lives. Never underestimate you purpose and gifting in God's Kingdom!
