WEEP
NOT!
Memorise:
And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to
uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld
me. Isaiah 63:5
In Revelations 5:4, John wept because there was no man
who could open a scroll that needed to be opened to reveal secrets on things to
come. Nobody was worthy enough to receive the information despite the fact that
the Lord in Amos 3:7 had promised to reveal His plans or secrets to His
servants the prophets before doing anything. It was truly sad. When secrets are
not unveiled, people remain in dark without vision or direction. May you not be
left in the dark concerning events about your life, family and church in Jesus’
Name. Does God trust you enough to disclose His secret to you before He does
anything in the life of anyone close to you? One truth we can learn from Elisha
and Gehazi is that when no one has paid the price for a heavenly treasure or
gift, God prefers to withhold it than to commit sure treasure into wrong hands.
This was why Elisha went to the grave with the double portion anointing. Have
you paid the price for heaven’s treasure?
Fortunately, while John was crying, an elder told him
to stop crying because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah had taken up the job. This
means that, when no man or angel qualifies, God ends up making a way all by
Himself. In Isaiah 63:5, God sought for someone who could help, He found no
one, so His very arm brought the salvation He wanted. This tells us something –
God cannot be stranded. He always has alternative plans. If one plan fails, He
has a plan B, C, D, E, to infinity. Nobody can therefore successfully frustrate
God. If He gives you an opportunity, it is not because He has no one else to do
it, but because He just wants to honour you and make you feel important. Never
take God’s opportunity for granted! He can do exactly what you are doing
through another means. Furthermore, there is no need to weep again if you have
received Jesus Christ into your heart. Why? It is because He has prevailed. In
John 16:33, He says you should cheer up because He has overcome the world.
Through Jesus Christ you can access solutions to any problem.
