YOU CAN BE REPLACED!
Memorise: Behold, I come quickly: hold
that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 3:11
Read: Esther 7:9-8:2, Bible in one year:
1st Samuel 20:1-21:9, Mark 8:1-21
It is great folly to contend with God.
This is why I pity those societies that have become anti-God and are challenging
His commandments. God spoke about such people in Isaiah 45:9, saying:
“Woe
unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the
potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What
makest thou? Or thy work, He hath on
hands?
God can enthrone and dethrone at will.
He does whatever pleases Him. You are blessed when God acts positively towards
you, but if He decides to move against you, pray for His mercy. The Bible in
Daniel 2:21 says:
“And
he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings and setteth up kings:
he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”
It is a grievous experience when God
decides to replace an individual. Human the Agagite experience this, and you
can see the result in our Bible reading today. King Ahasuerus promoted Human
above all his fellow princes. However, he thought it was by his own making that
the promotion came. Little did he know that promotion does not come from the
east or west, but from the Almighty God alone (Psalm 75:6-7). So, he began to
misuse his highly exalted position to victimise the people of God. He continued
to misbehave along this line until the Almighty God who ordained his promotion
decided not only to demote him, but also to replace him. I pray for you as a
child of God, that whosoever is using his or her position to victimise you
shall be replaced in Jesus’ Name.
For God not to replace you, you must learn from those He has replaced.
You can be replaced if you don’t make the best of the position of authority you
are given to serve God’s people. Beware of divine replacement because it can
affect your future generations. Eli was replaced, and his house lost the
priesthood forever. God categorically said that although He was the One who
said Eli’s house would walk before Him as priests forever, He had changed His
mind about this (1st Samuel 2:30). Please run away from whatever
will make God replace you. If you have done such things, you must repent
quickly before he removes your candlestick (Revelation 2:5).
Prayer Point
Dear Holy Spirit, nudge my heart away
from doing anything that will make the Father replace me in Jesus’ Name.
