Keion Henderson - Size Doesn't Matter

This is what God told me to talk about. I have five topics, but I kept going back to this one because God instructed me to tell you: Size Doesn’t Matter. So, three people, turn to your neighbor and say, «Size doesn’t matter.» You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Stay holy, church! Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered. Pray for my wife; she’s out of town today. Her son, who is in the G League, made the All-Star team, and I’m praying for God to touch him. We hope that this time next year, or the year after, he’ll be in the NBA, and so he’s going through his process. We thank God for that. So, that’s where she is. You know how people say, «She 's not at church, what’s going on?» She 's at the game. Everything is all right; she’s at the game. Y’all know how church folks are! He has his ring on, so it must not be over. Been there, done that, bro.

The fourth chapter of Mark ends, and if I don’t say anything else other than this sentence, this is enough! Okay, so don’t wait long, because I’m already preaching. The fourth chapter of Mark ends in the same way that I prophesy your next situation will end-with a miracle. Alright, see y’all later! I’m done. God bless you. Since you know that, why should I worry? Why should I fret? Look at all the ways He’s made, every promise kept. Since you already know that, just let your anxiety go, because your next situation is, in fact, going to end with a miracle. Do me a favor-if you like your neighbor, look at them; if you don’t, look at the other one and say, «There will be glory after this.» If they did not rejoice with you, you got the wrong neighbor! You need a hater! Look at somebody who wants you to get yours and knows that God has enough to give them theirs. Tell them, «This will end with a miracle.» Period.

Now, Cleo, this storm was not an anomaly; the Sea of Galilee was prone to storms. I don’t even know if this is a sermon; can we just have a conversation? I don’t have any points. The Sea of Galilee was prone to storms, so the fact that we read the scripture that says there was a storm on the sea shouldn’t surprise us. It 's not like a snowstorm in Houston; it happens all the time! This was not an anomaly; there were always storms on the Sea of Galilee. So why did it make the news? It happens all the time.

Here 's the point: The sooner you realize that the life you’ve chosen, that the anointing you prayed for, and the blessing you 've worked for come with prone storms, the sooner you will find your peace. The sooner you figure out that people don’t stop arguing because they get married and they don’t start loving you because you say, «I do,» the sooner you realize that you’re not going to make a hundred thousand dollars without stress on the job. The sooner you realize that you’re going to have ten friends and two of them you won’t be able to trust, eight of them you won’t be able to trust, nine of them you won’t be able to trust-the sooner you recognize that storms come with your anointing, the quicker you can achieve peace and stop worrying about what happens with the things that God has given you. Somebody shout, «Storms come with it!»

To whom much is given, much is required. If you don’t want a lot of requirements, stop asking for a lot of blessings. If you don’t want anyone trying to take it from you, don’t go get it! Because if you go get it, someone 's going to try to take it. What you’ve got to do is stand still and let the Lord fight your battles. David, if you get anointed, Saul’s going to try to kill you. Hebrew boys, if you don’t bow, they’re going to throw you in the fire. Daniel, if you don’t do what they say, they’re going to throw you into the lion’s den. It comes with the territory. The sooner you realize that your life is prone to storms, the quicker you can be at peace no matter what circumstance you’re in. Are you listening to me?

Job 14: 1 says a man born of a woman is of a few days, and those few days are crowded with trouble. If your mama had you, you’re going to have trouble. If your mama didn’t have you, you’re not going to have trouble. Now, one thing I know is your mama had you! Even if you don’t know who she is, she still had you. So if a man-take the man out-if a woman is born of a woman, she is of a few days and her days are full of trouble. When you get to the realization that every day is full of trouble, you’ll stop whining about the fact that trouble exists.

What you should be doing is rejoicing more when the day doesn’t have trouble! But what most of us do is, because we’re so accustomed to trouble, we brace for it. Then, when good things happen, we don’t rejoice because we’re afraid to get happy. If we get happy, then we feel-yeah, you know what I’m talking about. So instead of being happy, we stay in this constant state where we don’t get disappointed. We don’t celebrate our victories because we don’t want to celebrate too soon. Well, that’s called a celebration and not faith.
