This year you will wax great exceedingly in Jesus name. You can position yourself so God places you in a higher position. ''3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; 4 But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel'' - 2 Chron 17;3,4. Judah and Isreal were people of God, but the Israelite and their Kings lived a God dishonoring life. Jehosaphat refused their ways and studied to live after the acceptable life of his predecessor David.
We too can discern christian leaders and their congregation who though fellow people of God live a shameful lifestyle and refuse to identify with such. God told Elijah, at the time Israel backslided and bowed to the ungodly life of Baalam worshipers , that he has about seven thousand in Israel who have not bowed their knees to worship Baal - 1Kings 19;18.
You can be among the few who will not bow to the pressure of this sinful world. You can dare to be different. You too can wax great exceedingly by choosing to be close to God and removing far from you anything that displeases God.
Questions
1. Is it possible to trust God to lift us up in this life?
2. What does it mean for ones heart to be lifted up in the ways of the Lord? - 2Chron 17;6
- Read and understand Psalm 127;1,2.
Prayer
O Lord, of a truth except you promote a man, he labors in vein for promotion. Hard work as commendable as it is cannot take any man far without your help. Help me enlarge my coast so that I can be relevant to your Kingdom expansion. Receive divine favor to greater height in Jesus name.
