WHEN GOD LIFTS YOU

"And Jeroboam said in his heart, 'Now the kingdom may return to the house of David'" 1Kings 12:26.

Jeroboam was a Servant of Solomon. Solomon made him the head of his labor force because he was a mighty man of valor and was industrious. When Solomon sinned against God, God chose to give 10tribes of Israel to Jeroboam to rule. He was not expecting it but God favored him and gave him a throne. But when he got the throne, he sought for a way to sustain the throne apart from God who gave it to him. He thought he might lose the throne and went after other gods. This step led to his destruction.

Hear the word of the Lord: If God has given you that position, He will sustain you there. When or if you have received what you are believing God for, don't reduce or compromise on your relationship with God because of your new status. You need not employ the wisdom of this world or seek the assistance of other gods in order to sustain your position. God who has taken you there will sustain you.Let your commitment to God increase, be faithful to Him and He will increase you.

I ask that God will promote you. You will not disappoint Him and He will sustain you in Jesus name.

This is an awesome word! Thank you so much for sharing it. It is a word for all to hear, all who are in authority and those who God is raising up to be in authoity.
We must stay humble before the Lord no matter what postoion He has us in at that time. We must always remember that what we have and all we do is because of Him . Glory be to God!
