Memorise: But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter
up of mine head. Psalms 3:3
“But
thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter up of mine head.” Psalms
3:3
This was the voice of David when he confronted a situation that was
beyond him. His son conspired with others, not only to take away his crown, but
also to take his life. Who do you run to when people are not only interested in
taking your position but also taking your life? Who do you cry to when that
strange woman is not only interested in taking your husband but also taking
your life? God is the only one who can lift one supernaturally.
There are people who have grief in their hearts. There are those who have
been praying and crying for help. There are those who have been sowing in
tears. If you are included in these groups, I want you to be comforted because
the Almighty God will lift you higher than your problems in Jesus’ name. Do not
lose hope in the ability of God to deliver you from any plot against your life.
Just call upon the Lord and you will see Him destroying your enemies with their
own hands. It does not matter how many enemies are surrounding you at all sides,
there is protection for you in God. God is the one who lifts up the heads of
His children. He puts great honour upon them and removes everything that has to
do with shame and reproach. He is a deliverer to those who run to Him and He
ensures all things work out together for their good. Are you in any situation
in which the number of people rising up against you are on the increase simply
because God is on your side? I want to assure you that the Almighty God will
give you peace and calm in the midst of the storm. God will deliver you out of
every hand that is holding you down. The fact that God has been fighting on
your behalf in the past should give you an assurance that you are a permanent
candidate for supernatural lifting, as long as you are at peace with God. All
you need to do is ensure that there is no unrighteousness or ungodliness in
you. Do not follow the path of the wicked. Live holy and be obedient in faith.
Give yourself to prayers always, so that you can put the devil where he
belongs. Those who walk in the truth of the gospel will always enjoy glory and
honour from God. Be strong in the promises of God and be fully persuaded that
all God has promised you will surely come to fulfilment.
From our Bible reading, we see how the three Hebrews boys moved from
being slaves to being condemned and then to being promoted all in one day.
After God had shown up for them, the king immediately commanded that any
people, nation, and language, that speaks against their God shall be cut in
pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because no other God can
deliver like Jehovah. There is no one that God cannot use for His glory. As
long as He sees your heart, He will meet you at the level of your desire. Seek
God. Those who follow God will always see good things following them (Matthew
6:33).
Key Point:
Who you follow determines what follows you.
Read: Daniel 3:15-20: 15 Now if ye be ready that at what
time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I
have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the
midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you
out of my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered
and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in
this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine
hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king,
that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast
set up. 19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form
of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he
spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more
than it was won’t to be heated. 20 And he commanded the most
mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and
to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
