FAITH CAPSULE: <\/b>Rising up to God\u2019s command is the only way to shine for God\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n
Luke 15:11-31<\/p>\n
<\/i><\/b>The ability to rise in response to God\u2019s calling is the only way to possess an exceedingly great blessing from God. The key to shinning for the glory of God is rising and responding to His calling. Isaiah 60:1-2, \u201cArise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. \u201d<\/i><\/b> The call to rise does not have a condition or any reason for compromise but to rise in response to God. The word does not ask if we will rise but asked us to rise. Indeed, deep darkness will show its face in attempt to discourage or deny us from rising but the Lord is always at work. He said that He will rise over us and His glory would not be denied. Abraham could not possess all that was promised to him by God until he rose to God\u2019s command. Genesis 22:1-2, \u201cNow it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, \u201cAbraham! \u201cAnd he said, \u201cHere I am.\u201d 2 Then He said, \u201cTake now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.\u201d Abraham did himself a great favor when he was right with God. In his response to God, the Bible stated, \u201cSo Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.\u201d (Genesis 22:3) <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Abraham rose up to God\u2019s calling and that led him into possessing all of the promises of God. Rising up to God\u2019s command is the only way to shinning for God\u2019s glory. Can you think of what is keeping you grounded? In all of your walk and work on the face of the earth, is there any area you have remained grounded? The lost son (Prodigal son) was lost and down after he had moved to get his portion of goods from his father. Having received his portion he ended up falling. In his lack he came to himself and he made a decision by stating, \u201cI will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, \u201cFather, I have sinned against heaven and before you.\u201d <\/i><\/b>The prodigal son knew to rise and he was able to shine when the father delivered a hearty welcome and reception for him. It is all about rising before shinning can take place.<\/p>\n
Prayer for today:<\/i><\/b> Ask God to intervene and terminate all the forces that are denying or delaying your rising in the journey of life.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
