THERE’S AN EXPECTED END
THE LORD HAS FOR YOU
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6 – 7 (NKJV)
The Lord does not forsake His own. The scriptures are divine scripts which outline your beautiful future. There is nothing about your destiny which is not prophetically illustrated in the scriptures.
Your life may seem to be a mystery in the natural, but scripturally it is decoded.
Don’t allow the limitations of your senses and experiences to define your life. Sink your thoughts in the word of God.
The more you pay attention to your challenges, the more you distract yourself from what God is doing with you.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV).
There is an expected end the Lord has for you. And you must make that your focus.
One of the expectations you must have as you humble yourself to make the Lord your focus is EXALTATION.
Don’t spend time feeding your mind with doubts. When the doubts come, cast it off. Learn to doubt your doubts.
Your humility before the Lord is the secret to enjoying divine exaltation. It is not that God demands your humility before He exalts you. It is because humility is a principle of faith which produces exaltation.
To humble yourself before the Lord is explained in the opening verse.
“…casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” I Peter 5: 7 (NKJV)
To humble yourself under the mighty hand of God is basically to cast all your cares upon Him; with the conviction of heart that He cares for you.
When you don’t humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, you have exalted yourself above the mighty hand of God.
What you are saying is, you don’t need the mighty hand of God to lift you and sustain you. You rather want to trust in your own strength.
You don’t need God’s supernatural help. You trust in your own ability rather than the ability of God.
It is as simple as that!
But come to think of it, what more can your strength achieve?
Begin to train your heart to exercise absolute confidence in God by acknowledging the glorious things He has done.
“Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us–none can compare to You–if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.” (Psalm 40:5)
Instead of counting your failures which will make you turn away from God, consider His goodness according to His power. It will cause you to humble yourself patiently under His mighty hand for your exaltation.
Beloved, what are the things troubling your heart?
Cast all your cares unto the Lord and patiently stay under His mighty hand with humility. For the Lord shall exalt you in due season.
Do you know the good news?
The due season is already here! That is why you are reading today’s Machaira with Apostle Bennie.
REMAIN EXPECTANT FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
Shalom Aleichem.
Hallelujah!
DIG DEEPER
(Proverbs 24:14; Psalm 37:37; Jeremiah 29:11; James 4:10; Job 36:22)
WE PRAY
Thanking the Lord for the wisdom to stay humble under the mighty hand of the Lord and for this glorious new season of exaltation.
In the name of Jesus.
