GOD IS IN CHARGE

-

Daniel 4:17

For this has been decreed by the messengers; it is commanded by the holy ones, so that everyone may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world. 

He gives them to anyone he chooses— even to the lowliest of people.”


Psalms 75:6-7

For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.


We really need to be wise. We could sometimes forget who is in charge. We could be distracted and look at our efforts or the tool used to give us that breakthrough. We could then become arrogant or selfish and forget the reason why we are where we are. For everything is for a purpose.


Nebuchadnezzar made that mistake and he suffered like an animal for seven(7) years till he confessed with his mouth that God was the one who rules in the affairs of men.


Belshazzar was not that favoured, he died that very night.


Daniel 5:22,24,30

“You are his successor, O Belshazzar, and you knew all this, yet you have not humbled yourself.

So God has sent this hand to write this message.

That very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed.


One problem with some humans is that they fail to learn from the past. They quickly forget the lessons of the past when they face good times or when they face problems. Wisdom is not to let go of "wisdom" when the time comes. Don't forget the oppression you faced before you got there, don't let others go through it. You are given the opportunity so that you can right the wrong not for vengeance or to do the same wrong. Selah


Paul by the Holy Spirit wrote:


Romans 13:1

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.


So God is involved in that promotion that we seek or that we already have. We therefore cannot put Him out of the picture, we must be led by Him. We cannot afford to do our own things or act anyhow, no, we must honour Him who gave us the grace to be there.


The parable of the talent talked of the servant who was unproductive because he felt that the authority he had was little compared with what his mates had. The master did not see it that way, the quantity or level of authority didn't matter but what we do with what we have been given.


You may feel you are just a parent, or you have a low managerial position, maybe just a spiritual unit leader, whatever it is, all that matters is that non is insignificant, you make an impact and the Heavenly Father is interested in it. Some boast of giving so much to the work of God while those that work for them do not get their right wages, sorry, it is not the Heavenly Father you are giving to, He does not collect gifts of wickedness.


Our politicians and those holding positions of authority have forgotten who got them to where they are, some of them think it was that person or people they know, the rituals they did, the money they spent or the oaths and allegiances they have sworn to. The truth is that no matter what one does he cannot get there unless God permits it. All must give account.

(*they were not the only ones that "knew" people, did rituals, spent money or made allegiances for that same position! selah*)


If all of us would see that position we hold, as being from God, as high as the president of the country or as basic as the head of a home. The pastor of a church, the CEO of that company, the head of that department or division, the leader of that team or an appointed officer or minister. . .

We would take on a different approach, we would do better and of course be more accountable, knowing this:


Romans 14:12

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.


Hebrews 4:13

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.


Hebrews 13:17

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.


We must give account, yes, everyone of us. It is about God, no matter how long any one runs away from the truth, it is all about God.


Revelations 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.


Never forget the Lord of all to whom all, no matter your race or tribe, your religion or belief and whether you believe or not, will give account to. For hiding from the truth cannot change the truth. Selah


I see a better leadership, I see a better accountability, I see God happy with our work.


We will have a good report, yes we will finish well. Say it, "I WILL HAVE A GOOD REPORT so Help me God"


It will be an awesome day.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
