THE LIFTER OF MEN: part-2
The Lifters of Men
đź“– Scripture Reading
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.
- Psalm 3:3 – “But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.”
- Acts 9:26-27 – “And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him… But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles…”
---Characteristics of Lifters of Men
- Compassionate hearts – They see beyond weakness and offer encouragement.
- Faith-filled vision – They believe in what God can do in someone’s life.
- Selflessness – They are not threatened by another’s rising.
- Obedience to God – They act as instruments of divine lifting.
---Why We Need Lifters
- To break cycles of discouragement.
- To open doors we cannot open ourselves.
- To remind us of God’s love when we feel forgotten.
- To position us for destiny.
---Our Call to Be Lifters
- Encourage the weak – A kind word can lift a weary soul.
- Support the needy – Practical help can lift someone from despair.
- Mentor the young – Guidance can lift them into purpose.
- Pray for others – Intercession lifts burdens they cannot carry alone.
Beloved, God is the greatest lifter of men. He lifted Joseph from the prison to the palace, He lifted Daniel from the lion’s den to honor, and He will lift you too. But He also calls us to be lifters—agents of encouragement, hope, and destiny.
Let us go forth as lifters of men, reflecting Christ who lifted us from sin and gave us eternal life.
Prayer
Father, thank You for being the lifter of our heads. Make us vessels of lifting to others. Use our words, our hands, and our lives to raise the broken, strengthen the weak, and guide the lost into Your marvelous light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
