TITLE: YOU ARE THE REASON 2
New King James Version Isaiah 60:3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.
The trend has always been the same, where the devil has always been trapped in his own folly. All through the ages, every plan of his which will seem to end up in his favour end up in his failure. Indeed he's destined to fail at all times, no wonder the apostle Paul made one of his folly clear in 1 Corinthians 2:8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. This is clear distinction of the wisdom of God which can never be cut short by the whoredom of the devil, whether in the past age, the present age or the ages to come, the wisdom of God will forever reign in heaven above and earth below.
In yesterday's devotional, we understood that the reason for the darkness in the world is because of our light. The perspective is so clear, the devil thinks he's causing life to be miserable for Christians not knowing he's ignorantly contributing good factors for our shining. The systems of the world which seem to be against you is never the truth, the truth is that very system is there for you to proof how you prosper under all circumstances. You're to proof how you don't experience rise and fall in your spectra, but you only rise and transcend in all conditions, you're to affirm to the world how despite the inconsistence in seasons, you never experience drought but your leaves are always fresh and green.
Look at the life of Isaac: Genesis 26:1-3,12-13,16 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar. Then the Lord appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
This is the reality of your life, despite the famine, when everyone struggles to succeed, when everyone chooses to wait for the right season, you soar above circumstances and prosper therein. The Bible said Isaac prospered, continued prospering until there was no room for prospering. This is your potential son of God, don't cry over the bad economy, don't criticise the bad governance, that's a very wrong perspective to have. Realise your capacity in Christ, you're the good reason for the situation, shine out your goodies, the whole world is looking up to you, they're gathered together to come to you, you're their only light in he gross darkness.
Arise and shine out God!
