January 2-2014 God will exalt you.
Promise
verse-Joshua 3:7 the Lord said to Joshua, Today I will begin to exalt you in
the sight of all Israel, that they know that as I was with Moses, so I will be
with you.
Dear
children of God everybody wants to exalt themselves. They are trying to reach or
attain Excellency; but they could not. But God of Excellency will exalt you and
me with honor and majesty.
1. God exalts the uneducated and common man.:- God had
anointed Peter with Holy Spirit and used him as his mighty vessel. He was an
uneducated common man. But God did use him by miracles happened in his hands in
the name of Jesus. Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said to them, “rulers
of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed
done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known
to you all that by the name of Jesus Christ Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom
God raised from the dead- by him this man is standing before you well”. 3000 people were saved and added into the
church through his preaching and boldness in Christ. The people were astonished
and they recognized that they had been with Jesus. Likewise God will exalt you
to do service for him.
2. God exalts the servant: - Joshua was serving Moses and
God. After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua
the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore
arise, go over Jordan, you and this entire people, into the land that I am
giving to them, to the people of Israel. The Lord God exalted Joshua to lead
the people of Israel into the land of milk and honey. God gave him the
leadership to lead the entire people to the land of milk and honey. The Lord
exalted Joshua in the sight of Israel.
3. God exalts the prisoners: - Joseph was a God fearing
man and he walked in the ways of God and he fled away from Potiphar’s wife’
sin. So he was blamed and put into prison. But God was with Joseph in Jail. The
keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge,
because the lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed. He
interprets the Pharaoh’s dream and then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand
and made him governor and set over all the land of Egypt.
4. God will be with us throughout this whole NEW YEAR to
exalt us in the sight of the entire people. And if you faithfully obey the
voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments, the Lord
your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. Dear brothers and
sisters if you are blessed, kindly share with others and friends.
