YET I REFUSE TO BE ASHAMED (5)

Post date: Nov 26, 2019 2:49:01 PM

Shame has a cause and a purpose, but God is able to deal with the cause, the purpose and also with you. He can take the cause away, He can relieve you of the purpose and He can heal you, restore you and lift you up far above whatever had caused your shame in the first place. In doing that, God will honor His word in and through you and will enable you to honor His name before men thereafter in your life. Those who saw your falling down and mocked your fall will see your rising up and wonder what had happened to you; those who celebrated your falling down will, in turn, mourn and regret celebrating your fall when they see you rise again, when they see God in action raising you above what you were before the fall. Despite all the troubles you have gone through, you are not too far beyond the reach of the Almighty God, you are not too far beyond the power of His ability to restore you, you are not too far that He cannot do anything for you and with you. It is very certain that whatever shame intended against you will not destroy you as planned and desired by the wicked. We serve a God who is above all things and can do all things that His name will be glorified on earth by men.

In whatever way the enemies had desired, planned and orchestrated your downfall which resulted in being shameful, resulted in your pains, and caused your suffering today, the Almighty God who is truly just and is the final judge in all cases by reason of His power to forgive all forms of sins and wrongdoing and save, and restore and blessed through Christ Jesus will deliver you and will take the intended shame away. He had justified you and given you His grace so that you will rise up again and live the life He intended for you and also be in Him. He had justified you already through forgiveness and salvation so that will not go about with the garment and the attitude of shame again on you, He had given you the power not to follow the steps and ways that lead to shame and destruction again in His words, and He had sealed you in His presence forever by the Holy Spirit that He gives to dwell in you forever. 

To ensure His words and promises are fulfilled; to ensure all His plans are executed according to His words and desires, to ensure Israel reached the promised land without defeat or turning back, to ensure Moses and the children of Israel had the assurance and the boldness they needed to move forward, He said; “And the Lord said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest by bringing you and the people into the promised land. And Moses said to Him if Your presence does not go with me, do not lead us up from here. For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight? Is it not by Your going with us so that we are distinguished, Your people and I, from all the other people on the face of the earth? The Lord said to Moses, I will also do this thing that you have asked, for you have found favor, mercy, and lovingkindness in My sight and I have known you personally by name. Then Moses said, please show me Your glory. And God said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the Name of the Lord before you, for I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion and lovingkindness on whom I will show compassion.” Exodus 33:14-19  

Whatever God had destined and promised you in His words in this life will definitely come to pass, all will be fulfilled, nothing will stop any of them, not frustration, not lack, not the wicked works and words of your enemies, not loneliness, not pains, not isolation and not even yourself irrespective of your feelings, nothing will stop them. That intended or ongoing shame in your life will not and cannot stop God from giving you help and a miracle. To ensure you are delivered and set free from the ongoing or impending shame, God’s presence will go with you from this day as it did with the children of Israel until the entered the promised land. His presence will bring you favor, peace, victory, direction, and blessings. It will give you joy despite all the odds against you and it will give you life and fulfillment. For prayers, Click here
