I SAW A SOLID GOLD LAMPSTAND

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up like someone awakened from sleep. He asked me, what do you see? I answered; I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. Also, there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left. I asked the angel who talked with me, what are these, my lord? He answered, do you not know what these are? No, my lord, I replied. So he said to me, this is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty. What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of God bless it, God bless it. Then the word of the Lord came to me. The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel? Then I asked the angel, what are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand? Again I asked him, what are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil? He replied do you not know what these are? No, my lord, I said. So he said, these are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.” Zechariah 4:1-14

For many years, Zerubbabel had been serving God with expectations for a change, a blessing, and a desire to see better things in his life and by the grace of the Almighty, he lived and saw his expectations fulfilled. What God did for Zerubbabel, He will do for you; He is waking you up as He did for Zerrubabel, taking you from failures to success, waking you up to begin seeing His hands and His blessings, provisions taking you from despair and confusions to seeing new and better things in life, in your future, and in your present. God is giving you the grace to begin seeing and doing something new and better, and to begin being productive again.

Zerubbabel had been a preacher for years, lived within the sanctuary, and had observed the lamb in the temple burning every day, the oil in the bowls, and the wicks lighting the lamp every day. All through his service years, he never saw true meaning to what he had been doing; he never had extra understanding in them and no one gave him a chance of ever succeeding beyond the ordinary. He laid a foundation for a building and the construction was stalled and no one gave him the slightest help or chance of completing what he started. But a day came that things began to change, confidence restored, assurance is given, joy and happiness restored, his hopes became alive, and his strength was renewed by what he saw and heard. “I saw a solid gold lampstand.”

You were not born to see the same thing all year round; you were not born to be seeing failures and experiencing disappointments. Even where no one gave you a chance to see and do better things, a door is opening for you for a change; even where no one believes in you, the assurance is coming that you begin seeing fulfillment; where they thought you will not make it through, you will exceed; where they have withdrawn all needed assistance, divine assistance is coming.

God is restoring the hope you lost; the confidence you threw away, and the peace that had eluded you because of what you have seen in life, evil will not return. God is lighting His lamp again on your path and the light is kept alive by His divine power as that of Zerubbabel. He is enabling you to overcome mountains and hindrances by His spirit; turning them to plains for you to have an easy walkthrough. As God opens the eyes of Zerubbabel to see new things with a divine guide, understandings, and insights. He is doing a new thing in your life from now on. Though you have been seeing odd things, time had come to begin seeing good and better new things. I pray you will begin seeing these that are good and experience the very best in life as a true Christian. Zerubabel said, he saw a solid gold lampstand. For prayers, Click here
