THEME: OCCUPY TILL HE COMES 3.
📖 Deuteronomy 28:13
[13] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
MESSAGE
God wants you to be the head, not the tail. He wants His beloved children to dominate in sports, in business, in the office, and in their career. Before you can occupy till Christ comes, you must give yourself completely to God and to His service in the vineyard. Secondly, you must develop your gift. God is looking for men of excellence.
Jeremiah 9:17
[17] This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come;
send for the most skillful of them.
God works with men who develop themselves. Another scripture showing God wanting men of excellence is:
Exodus 35:30-32
[30] And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
[31] And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
[32] And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
God takes pleasure when you succeed. A diligent man will serve kings, and our God is a King. He loves diligent and excellent men. The very day you develop your gift, you make yourself ready for the Master's use. You come before Him empty, but He will fill you with His power and make you a star.
Never do anything averagely. Men of excellence are men of prayer and fasting. They are committed to serving God, and God is also committed to lifting and blessing them.
COUNSEL OF THE DAY
1 Every blessing comes with a price.
2 It takes a man of excellence to serve the King.
3 Never do anything averagely. The world has no place for such men.
PRAYERS.
Lord Jesus, I receive the grace to walk in excellence and to be at the top in Jesus' name.
