Glorious Days Ahead

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

One attribute of God is that He is the God of progression. That is He always takes the next step forward. Anyone who walks with God moves from one level of glory to another, and you are no exception.

In the scripture, Jacob (Israel) left for Egypt when they were but a few in number. Only One, Joseph, went ahead to Egypt before the others joined him but in the end, they grew to millions in some 400 years. This same Egypt, which became a land of torment because they were slaves, was a secured nest or shelter God used to ensure that they were not scattered with time and also to keep His promise to Abraham. Egypt was not a stumbling block but a stepping stone for God’s children.

Today, you may be caught up in some Egypt (a profession, a relationship, a location, a company, a situation, etc). It was a good decision at the time but now it appears that you are caught up in a dungeon with no hope of seeing light. When you consider God’s promises for your life, like Israel, they are far from reach and your faith is gradually drowning in the waters of life.

Life has ways of knocking out your hope for a better tomorrow. Think about; Joseph landing in prison, or Moses running away from royalty, or Israel celebrating freedom only to appear before the red sea, or The Apostles witnessing Jesus’ death when they thought He would be with them longer, or Mandela in prison, or Steve Jobs getting fired from Apple, or Tyler Perry being homeless, or Elon Musk being broke and living on loans from friends, etc.

But regardless of how hard life hits you, remember that your God is the God of progression. He never intended for you to start a journey with Him, then ditch you halfway. His plan is to give you hope and a future. His plan is to help you achieve your purpose in this life. That was why He sent Jesus Christ. He is the orchestrator of the whole creation. The Bible says that without him, nothing was made that was made. That is everything you see was created by Jesus Christ and they revolve around Him. Thus with Him in your life, you have the propensity to create, attract, achieve everything you desire. This Egypt you see is not a stumbling block but a transitory moment.

So stop dwelling on how bad or challenging situations have been and look forward with hope that with Christ, your glory days are ahead of you. Soon you will look back and share your testimony to inspire others. All Glory to God. Amen

No Man Can Curse You

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God is not a man; he will not lie. God is not a human being; his decisions will not change.
If he says he will do something then he will do it. If he makes a promise, then he will do what he promised.

(Numbers 23:19, ERV)

The story about Balak and Balaam is an interesting story that you can relate to your daily affairs. In summary: Balak was intimated by Israel’s successes and out of fear contracted Balaam to curse Israel. He promised to pay huge sum but Balaam was determined to say what God says. The offer was good and it could have changed Balaam’s life yet he couldn’t curse Israel, not because he didn’t want to do it but God continually cautioned him that Israel was His people and they were already blessed. He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This is interesting because these people were unborn generations in Abraham. Out of one man, God had produced an entire nation…millions of people…spanning over 400 years. Therefore He wasn’t going to allow one man, Balaam, to destroy His precious possession. Thus He intervened for Israel behind their back. Israel had no idea what was happening behind the scenes but The God who Sees all and Knows all turned moments that could have hurt them into opportunity for blessings.

Why is this story important?

Jesus Christ came to die for you. He stamped you with His precious blood to make you God’s precious possession. He was ashamed for you. He was accursed for you. He became poor for you. He was beaten for you. He went through all the unthinkable for you. His goal was that anyone who believes in Him will live a life that is above His on earth. The scripture also says that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places…the highest place of honor. Satan and his demons know this truth. They know that like the children of Israel, you are blessed and can’t be cursed. You are healed and can’t be tormented with sicknesses and diseases. You are rich and not poor. And you are entitled to live the higher life that Jesus Christ brought to earth.

Know this Truth: Just as God had the children of Israel on His mind when He was blessing Abraham, He had you in mind when He sent Jesus Christ to die on the Cross. Because of Jesus Christ, God will always commit to His Word concerning your life.

Sometimes some people may hate you for nothing…O! because of your successes. They may see your progress in life as a threat to their whole being. They may try physically or even consult a medium in order to chase you out. It’s possible that you may be aware of their schemes but one thing is certain. No creation can undo what the Creator has done without His permission. And I can assure you that your enemies will perish with their thoughts if they continue to pursue that impossible mission.

In this Holy Week, let the foundation of your faith be strengthened because Jesus Christ was victorious and His is the Victorious One. He is the #1 Champion Who champions you affairs. The enemy can’t harm as long as you remain under the secret place of the Most High. Finally everything you decide to do shall prosper in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Thought for the Day: You Are A Winner (02.28.20)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Always remember that a CHAMPION from Gath was DEFEATED by a SHEPHERD from Israel. The secret was:

You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

(1 Samuel 17:45, NIV)

Friend You have ALL it takes to WIN the BATTLE you face. Have a Great Day!
