TEXT : Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”
It is a common knowledge that gold is made out of a fiery furnace and star rises and shine amidst darkness, no champion emerges without a fight. A wiseman once said, ‘challenges are the breakfast of champions, if you want to emerge a champion, you need to pray for more challenges.’
Biblically, all our covenant fathers took advantage of the opportunities loaded in the most difficult season of their days to emerge as generational blessing - Genesis 26;1-14
I have carefully observed over the years that, challenging moments such as this is usually characterized by many falls with very insignificant few rising. But for the redeemed, our God is more than able to make us the masterpiece of His glory.
From the above scriptures, it is clear that, we can only shine through the light and the glory of God that will come upon us as we rise to face the challenges of life squarely because the value of light is best appreciated when there is darkness.
The world over is witnessing ‘the darkness while the inhabitants of the earth is being overwhelmed by gross darkness because of this global pandemic that has paralyzed economic activities of nations, world powers inclusive – Isaiah 60:2, Malachi 4:1-3
The generations to come will not forgive us if we as the redeemed of the Lord, (scripturally known as the light of the world) fails to shine our light for the gentiles to come and their kings to the brightness of our rising – Matthew 5:14, Isaiah 60:3
The truth is that, we are the light of the world hence, the solution that the world is waiting for – “For I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Romans 8:18-19, “Beloved, think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that when His glory shall be revealed, he may be glad also with exceeding joy.” 1Peter 4:12-13
This global pandemic and its aftermath economic implications is ordained by God to bring the best out of the redeemed with a weight of glory this end time if we are going to accept responsibility to ‘dare make a difference’ irrespective of our current location, situation, status and position.
Cast your mind back to the days of Joseph, Esther, Nehemiah, David, Daniel, Shaderach, Meshach Abednigo etc how they rose from slavery, ordinary, nobody and without any pleasant background to stardom and they were publicly decorated with honour and glory just because they ‘dare to make a difference’ – Genesis 41:38-44, Nehemiah 5:14, Esther 4:13-16, 5:2-3, Daniel 3:16-30, 6:13-28
HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
1. REFUSE TO COMPLAIN AND MURMUR LIKE THE WORLD
Making a difference as a child of God begins with your ability to see and hear things differently – Proverbs 20:12, Genesis 13:14-17
Until you begin to see and hear differently you won’t stop complaining and murmuring like others. Your complaining murmuring will only complicate your situation.
God don’t just allow difficult situations without equipping His people with answers and solutions. There is opportunity to rise in every problem depending on the way you see and hear things.
Two friends went on vacation to India from America and they looked through the window of their hotel room and saw hundreds of thousands of people walking about barefooted. One saw problem and poverty while the other saw opportunity to become a millionaire through the problem by introducing a large market to a shoe manufacturing company with an agreement of a certain percentage on each sale.
No one rise in life without solving a problem because ‘ money hides in opportunities and opportunities hides in problems or challenges.
Many are already making their millions without looting government treasuries, they are simply trading inventions and ideas through Corona Virus.
“DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE DURING THIS LOCKDOWN. THIS GLOBAL LOCKDOWN IS FOR YOU TO RISE BY SHOWCASING YOUR PRODUCT AFTER THIS WHOLE MESS OF CORONA VIRUS.”
‘REMEMBER THAT IF YOU HEAVEN YOU CANNOT MISS HELL’
In the mighty name of Jesus, I decree by the Spirit of God that you are given spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him with your eyes of understanding being enlightened for you to catch a glimpse of divine opportunities in this season that will launch you far beyond your human understanding – Proverbs 20:12, Ephesians 1:17-18
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
