Be Lifted

Day 236

Reading: Micah 5:1 - Micah 7:20

Ever been laughed at when you fell down? In primary school am sure someone did. In today's world, we are prone to be laughed at when we make mistakes. In this day and age of social media, there are people laughing at one's mistakes whom they are not even acquainted with. The calamity the children of God were facing in the days of Micah reveals to us that their enemies were laughing at them. 

In the midst of pain, God declares a Word that is so pertinent to this day and age. To the believer who is asking where is God, I have good news. To that person who's been mocked for what seems forever God has you in mind. God is a God of mercy and that's why even if you and I fall we will rise again. We may be sat in darkness, however, God is our light and He will lead us to the place of greatness. The sound of rejoicing by your enemies will soon become one of mourning as they watch the tables overturned. 

We may be down right now because of sin or just the challenges of life. This situation is not permanent as God will soon plead my case. Yes, God, Himself will plead my case and fight my enemies. God will bring you and me to the place of light. We shall see His righteousness shortly and those who are enemies will see shame cover them. God's eyes will see your enemies trampled upon. 

I believe you and I are walking into a season where our hands will be raised against our adversaries. Someone is doubting how can this be when the economic news is all doom and gloom. By the time God had finished with Egypt via the 10 plagues do you think they had an economy? The world bank and IMF of the day would have been instituting austerity plans in Egypt, however, God's people still left the winners. You are emerging in this hour as the winner. Posture yourself right and you will partake of that which God is doing in this hour. This crisis is for our increase!

Memory Verse: Micah 6:8

Decree:

Micah 7:8
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

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 ...
