Shine Bright
Exodus 20:6 “But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.”
So far, we have looked at three out of the four things you need to pay attention to as your light begins to shine. The first is It Is Not About You. Your light shining is not about you. Matt. 5:14: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” Read the rest of this entry
Him Not I
Genesis 50:19-20 “But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”
As you begin to shine, the first thing you must remember is that It Is Not About You, and the second thing is, No More Obscurity. You are coming out of obscurity. Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has broken through! The Eternal One’s brilliance has dawned upon you.” (Voice, emphasis added). Read the rest of this entry
Your Shine
Isaiah 60:1-2 “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.”
As your light begins to shine, the first thing you need to know is that It Is Not About You. Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” God clearly defines the purpose for your light, your shine in this scripture. Read the rest of this entry
The Unveiling
Isaiah 60:3 “Nations north and south, peoples east and west, will be drawn to your light, will find purpose and direction by your light. In the radiance of your rising, you will enlighten the leaders of nations.” (Voice).
Yesterday, we established that when the enemy cannot quench a star, and is unable to exchange or transfer its glory, he resorts to manipulation. When the enemy fails with remote control and bewitchment, he will attempt to cover, to veil the star. Read the rest of this entry
Pray
1 Chronicles 4:10 “He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.”
The solution to dying before your time is protection, God will protect you. The solution to becoming one of the living dead, that is, the enemy transferring the glory, is warfare. God will fight for you. If it is a God induced glory transfer, the solution is repentance. Read the rest of this entry
Sovereign Will
Genesis 48:14 “But Jacob crossed his arms as he reached out to lay his hands on the boys’ heads. He put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, though he was the younger boy, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, though he was the firstborn.”
Genesis 48:17 “But Joseph was upset when he saw that his father placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head. So Joseph lifted it to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.” Jacob crossed his hands and gave Ephraim the double portion. Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out!
Psalm 75:5-7 “Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’” For no one on earth—from east or west, or even from the wilderness— should raise a defiant fist. It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.”
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday which is, never ever get to a place where you feel so big that you disdain God by disobeying His voice. A long time ago, a man came to my office talking very big, he said one of his many warehouses had goods worth over two billion in it. Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
Matthew 25:29 “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.”
Stars can be exchanged or transferred; this can happen by the enemy, and sometimes by God Himself. In the case of Saul, for example, it was God and not the enemy, God transferred Saul’s glory to David. David already had a mission, God just added to it. Read the rest of this entry
Not You
1 Samuel 16:1 “Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.”
The first thing the enemy tries to do is to quench (put out) the star, but he will continue to fail. The second thing he tries to do is to exchange the glory or transfer it. Stars can be exchanged and transferred, but I pray for you in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that your star, your glory will not be given Read the rest of this entry
Of Herod
Matthew 2:19-20 “But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.” (KJV, emphasis added)
We have established that stars can be quenched, and the devil works through the spirit of Pharaoh and the spirits of Herod, two star-quenching spirits to achieve this. God deals with these two star-quenching spirits differently. Read the rest of this entry
