Your Day of Lifting is Here

Day 209

Reading: Jeremiah 51:1 - Jeremiah 52:34

Do you know God loves you? Does this make you jump with joy? God loves you unconditionally. Reading through the Book of Jeremiah I have come to appreciate the lengths that God will go for His children. God will not forsake His children even when He judges them for their sin. The Book of Jeremiah ends with a great testimony. As I read this testimony I understood that my time for a lifting is here.

For 37 years Jehoiachin was imprisoned whilst in captivity. He wore prison garments and not kingly robes. Many today are wearing sickness, failure and the issues of life as robes and not the kingly robes of being a child of God. One day and that day has come for you and me, the king changed his status. A king whose name means evil-death changed Jehoichin's status. Jehoiachin means Jehovah will establish. God can cause someone to change your status. It doesn't matter who or how evil they are.

My dear reader wherever you are reading from I know life has a way of throwing us a prison sentence. You may be behind bars in sickness, or marital issues, or financial lack, or just stagnated in life where nothing seems to be working. I have news for you God will establish you and ensure your status changes. 

Jehoiachin was so favoured that he was given a more prominent place. Get ready to seat where others will envy you. You have looked to the seat where other kings are sat but God will lift you higher. Your provision in this new dimension will be greater and is already assured. Jehoiachin's supplies were met by the king. God has your supply all sorted out.

Celebrate that God whose love for you cannot be broken, indeed His covenant of love for you is so set in stone that if you could break the covenant of day and night you can then say that God cannot love you. As we know day and night are set to happen and irrespective of what you do days will continue. I announce to you in that same way God is moving you from whatever prison you have been in to the place where kings will envy you, a more prominent place. God is the God of recompense. Your hour of recompense is here.

Memory Verse: Jeremiah 51:15

Decree: 

Place your name in the scripture and say aloud.

Jeremiah 52:33
So Charles changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. (italics mine)

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
