You’re Already a History Maker

It’s amazing how often I hear someone say that they want to make history or they hope to be a history maker. The reason I say that it is amazing is that the reality is that everyone is a history maker the moment they’re born. From the time a person enters through the birth canal into this life, they are walking out history. Isaiah 46:10 reminds us that God declared the end from the beginning. The thing that we have to come to the realization is that before God set the world in motion, He saw the end of the story which He wanted to tell. Our presence in the world is the entry point at which we are living out history (His Story), or the story He is telling.

Once you understand that you are living out His story from the moment you’re born, the question that needs to be answered is how do you want your part in history to look. The interesting part is that God has given us His story in written form, telling us how it began and will end. The challenging part for most people is in discovering exactly where they fit in His story. This unfolding story doesn’t give us all the details. It’s ultimately up to us to connect with the author to discover how we’re to participate in making history.

Jesus said, he only does what he sees the Father doing (John 5:19), and I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father has taught me (John 8:28). This presents us with the key to how we too can be the history makers that God created us to be. We need to see and do only those things we get revelation for. As culture healers, we must understand that God’s divine image of each of the mountains of culture is rooted in Him. Family, government, business, media, arts & entertainment, worship, and education are all derived from Him. We need to see the vision that God cast, read it, capture it and run with it (Habakkuk 2:2).

In the natural, we cannot see God. It takes us operating in the Spirit to truly see Him. It takes us operating in the Spirit to truly understand His Story as it is written. Through the Spirit, what is written becomes alive in us so that we too can translate His vision into fruition. When you look at the life of Jesus as he ministered, we see that it was imperative that he spent considerable amounts of time in God’s presence so that he knew exactly what he was to do, where he was to go, what he was to say, and to whom it was to be said. This is how Jesus became the ultimate model of a history-maker.

Our goal is to follow the model that was established for us. Jesus promised that great would we see and do (John 1:50, John 14:12). As we see and do what the Father in heaven has done, and then follow the model set by Jesus, we become the His Story makers that God ordained us to be. I want to encourage you today to see yourself as the His Story maker that God made you and then start making His Story as He is equipping you and sending you forth to do.

Don’t allow the struggles and stresses that you’ve experienced in the past to become a stumbling block to your call to write, record, and fulfill God’s narrative. You’re already making His Story. Let what you see in your heavenly Father become the template that gives you the momentum to make history.
