LIFTED WITH HONORS

Post date: May 4, 2012 7:26:22 AM

There are numerous methods that God uses to bring His people to their rightful place in life. No two methods will ever be the same and none is easy, but the results are always amazing and eye popping for everyone to see and rejoice. The reason why He prefers one method over the other in your situation is best known by Him alone, but His overall reason is for your development and preparedness to meet the task He is about to bring into your life thereafter.  God will always prepare vessels He intends to use, and the preparation is thorough, leaving no stain that the devil will take advantage of to discredit God.

May I inform you today that an unannounced opportunity is about to come your way very soon. Note this, when God is about to do something new, He purposely allows certain things to happen so we may be alerted either to pray, seek counsel, fast or take some very cogent steps that will bring us to the realization of the need to submit ourselves to Him. God does not humiliate anyone but He teaches us humility in every way He will ever lead us. 

The area of frequent satanic attacks in our lives is the area that God normally uses to prepare us for greatness. Identify it and spend time to seek improvement and victory. When you spend your time crying and looking for men to help in such areas, you will be greatly disappointed, confused and frustrated. But when you spend time like Moses developing a good relationship with God in such areas, men will thereafter find you out and God will then honor you.

God had destined Moses before birth to lead the Israelites out of slavery. He allowed him to be born at a very trying time, but through faith in God, his parents prevailed over the decrees of the king. The rewards of faith are unending and you will need to develop such consistent faith to resist the devil till you come to the full purpose of God for your life. Your faith in God can keep you from the powers that seek to destroy you, a law, statement that is contrary to the will of God for you or any ancestral spiritual involvement against you. Moses parent’s faith in God enabled Moses to be raised up in the most comfortable place in his time compared to other Israelites.  

God will not permit anything to happen to you by chance, but by His good design. Be driven by faith not by fears and worries. Don’t let circumstances dictates your next action in life, let it be your faith in God based on the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Develop a sustaining and consistent faith for yourself, your work, children, marriage, ministry and your journey in life. God will never make a mistake concerning your life despite your numerous mistakes in following Him.

When it was time for God to use Moses, pride was found in him through the privileges He enjoyed in the palace. For God to take that out, He allowed the incident that made Moses to discard his comfort in the palace to a strange place for forty years. There, God purged him of pride, thought him humility, Godly relation, prayers and spiritual sensitivity before setting the stage to honor him before Pharaoh, the Egyptians and the Israelites in one of the greatest battle of liberation in human history. When you submit yourself to God, He will gracefully honor you irrespective of the previous and present actions of the devil against you.  God is unleashing more grace these last days than ever before, submit yourself to God in obedience and humility

“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. Stay alert; watch out for your great enemy, the devil. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith” 1 Peter 5:6-9 (NLT) GOD DESIRES IS TO LIFT YOU UP WITH HONORS
