"YOU WILL NOT GO BACK (2)"

Post date: Jan 4, 2019 4:51:31 AM

When Jabez cried to God for intervention in his life and situation, the Scripture confirmed that God did answer him; changed his life, changed his situation, gave him a lasting testimony and Jabez never went back to what, who, and where he was again. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying, Oh that You would indeed bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand would be with me, and You would keep me from evil so that it does not hurt me. And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10. Jabez knew what suffering was, he experienced it from birth, knew what evil was and he knew what evil can do to a man; he also knew his parents could not defeat evil in their own lives and time by their power and he knew he will not also be able to defeat evil in his own life by his own power so he had to go to God in prayer and a request; He knew had to rely on God for his expected victory, and had to trust God for his request. Did you know that when God answered Jabez’s prayers and granted his request, Jabez never went back to whom, to what, to where or to the bad and evil situation he had experienced in his life before? By God’s grace, through God’s grace and power, you will not go back to the things that God had delivered you from, you will not back to the evil conspiracies of the enemies, you will not go back to loneliness, you will not go back to your tears of physical and spiritual neglect and you will not go back the desires that will hinder your growth in Christ and enhance your life. God had quickened you, and He will keep you quickened until you are what He said in His words.

Fear will not take you back, the evil and the wickedness of men will not take you back again, the frustrations and disappointments in life will not take you back. You will not go back to the place of frustration and shame where you have been before now and you will not go back to what you were before but you will reach out and take hold of the destiny God had prepared and presented before you through Christ Jesus.

When and after David was anointed King by Samuel in his father’s house before his brothers, in their mind was the thought that nothing will ever change in David’s life since Saul was still the commander in power, active, popular, rich, and can do whatever he likes; that David will still be and will still remain in the forest doing the same thing as before, but it is very evident in the Holy Bible that David never went back to the forest or to sheep keeping after killing Goliath. People close to you may think and say nothing will happen to you, nothing can happen to you or you will never be changed or experience a change that is different from what you were before now, but they will be surprised to see God’s grace working for you, working in you and through you for a change that is beyond their dreams and expectations for you for a better life. The Almighty God will quicken you beyond where, what, and whom you are from now in Jesus Name. Amen.

David left the battleground with the head and weapons of Goliath to the place God had destined for him in life; he did not go back to the forest or to the keeping of sheep. God did advanced David beyond the thoughts and imaginations of his parents and brothers. God in His love, in His grace, and by His power, will take you beyond human imaginations and desires of the wicked. “When David returned from killing Goliath the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. Saul asked him, whose son are you, young man? And David answered I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.” 1 Samuel 17:57-58. He never went back to the forest or his father’s house, from that day he became a member of King Sauls cabinet and friend to King Saul’s son Jonathan.

There are higher and better marks to attain in life than going back to what, where and who you were before now; there are good purposes to live for; there is a word waiting to be fulfilled and promises waiting to be seen, and there is a desired expectation in His presence; you will not go back to the evil ways and programs controlled by Satan or anyone again.
