The LORD maketh
poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor
out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them]
among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of
the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. 1st
Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to .
God is the one who makes a person great. God has
control of the universe in his hands. Please see Romans Chapter 6 verse 14. He is
also still in the business of raising the poor out of the dust and sitting them
among princes 1st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 8. God promises to take His children from one level of
glory to another. God sometimes takes people out of obscurity into
limelight by shedding His glory on them. God in His infinite mercy and great
love sheds His glory on as many people who honor Him irrespective of their
ages. Samuel was a youth yet He received the glory of God and was used by God
to speak to Eli and his family and later the nation of Israel. You can also be
used of God today and beyond and become globally famous, relevant and
significant to humanity. Therefore, seek and revere His glory.
The favor of God always takes people from the dust
and ash heap positions of life to royalty, wealth, significance and honor in
life. When God favors you, He is giving you springboards and leverages to
become who He designed you to be from the foundation of the world. It is my
prayer that God in His infinite wisdom of election and purpose will favor you
on all sides in Jesus mighty. God Who ordered your steps to this blogpost will
certainly favor you with the dew of heaven and the treasures hidden in the
sands.
Beloved, it is wonderful to be young, desirous of
greatness and limelight especially when you are full of life, great ideas,
strength and friends as well as a loving family. However, you need the favor of
God to accomplish divine purpose so that you can soar to God’s heights for your
life. Therefore, press for the favor of God.
God raised David to become King in Israel, Joseph to
become Prime Minister in Egypt, Esther as Queen in the land of captivity and
Daniel as a respected and high ranking official in Babylon on account of the
favor of God upon their lives. You are destined for the top. Therefore give God quality praise with your
youth and strength and talents and trust Him to orchestrate the move from
obscurity and poverty to limelight and wealth. The Bible says that the expectation of the righteous
shall not be cut short. My prayer is that God will grant your expectations in
Jesus mighty name.
