GOD WILL OVERTURN 2
26 TAKE off your jeweled crown,” the Lord God says. “The old order changes. Now the poor are exalted and the rich brought very low.
27 I WILL OVERTURN, OVERTURN, OVERTURN THE KINGDOM, so that even the new order that emerges will not succeed UNTIL THE MAN APPEARS WHO HAS A RIGHT TO IT. AND I WILL GIVE IT ALL TO HIM."
Ezekiel 21:26-27 (the Living Bible)
27 I WILL OVERTURN, OVERTURN, OVERTURN IT! This also shall be no more, UNTIL HE COME WHOSE RIGHT IT IS; AND I WILL GIVE IT TO HIM."
Ezekiel 21:26,27 (DARBY)
VI. Ignorance of the devices of Satan could also be another reason.
Someone who is ignorant of Satan's devices or schemes or wiles (Ephesians 6:11) would find it difficult to patiently wait on God. Such would always want to circumvent or bypass God, and would be full of the self.
Whenever the devil comes with a bait, such would always fall for it, because he or she would not know or understand the devices or tricks of the devil, neither would he or she care to know what the plan or Will of God is.
And If such did know God's Will or plan, they may not want to embrace it. Thus, It would be difficult for such to expect anything from God. It would not be such a person's turn!
Whilst in some, it was already their turn, but the enemy, the devil, is holding them. When it is your turn, and you are being held back in getting or stepping into what is yours, you would have to check your obedience and spiritual state or fervour.
When Daniel's answer to prayers was delayed, he did not stop praying. His persistence or Importunity made God send another Angel to go for the rescue of the angel, Gabriel, who was sent for the delivery of the answer to his prayers (Daniel 10:10-14).
Your spiritual apathy or complacency could make your turn to be delayed or never come to realization.
VII. Some could not pay attention to their spiritual growth, thus they are not mature enough to be lifted to the exalted position which they crave for.
It was never their turn to rise because what they are expected to deal with in their lives, the character defects, are not dealt with, Thus their promotions or liftings are forfeited.
Such believers might claim to be waiting for their turn to be lifted, but it will only be a mirage or illusory because they fail to do the needful—they measured up not to the standard which God had set for them.
- Be born-again.
- Genuine relationship and fellowshipping with God is a must and demanded by God.
- Praying: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6 NKJV).
- Submission to the spiritual authority. In that you let your pastor, spiritual parent, taking spiritual oversight of your life (1 Thessalonians 5:12,13; Hebrews 13:7,17).
- Strong desire to know God's Will and sensitivity to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Whatever is working against your health and wellness which is not planted by God, such is rebuked and uprooted totally in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- I declare all-round peace for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
