We had a wonderful service today at the women of worth
prayer conference, and pastor graced us with his presence. Don’t think I’m
about to give a breakdown of the meeting, nope… not happening. I just want to give
us words that brought about my today’s words for you, if you’ll call it that. Pastor
said, “God cannot lift you beyond your level of your humility”. I looked
at these words clearly, and no matter how they sound, they make sense in an unexplainable
way, but I’ll try to look for my own words to explain it. Some people complain
about where they are presently in life and this wonderful, unrealistic place they
want God to take them to, but the question here is; how humble are you?
The response to this question is close to the reason why God
hasn't taken you from point A-B. Do you know that right now, where you are is what
you can handle in life, and if more is dished to you, you might not be able to
handle it? God has created us, and how we are; only He knows best. We have
different complains we make to God about how we've supposed to be in Guinness book
of record right now, and our name is not even in the record of our entire family,
but I’ll advise us of one thing today, be truthful to yourself. When you’re
truthful to yourself, you’ll do your part and allow God to do His.
You’ll know
where you are and be truthful to admit to yourself, and work out a way to
better yourself rather than give God the mosquito language and feel we've done
it all without being rewarded by God. If
you’re two thousand naira humble, how do you expect God to bless you in two
hundred thousand capacity? He needs to know what you can handle, for him to
accurately bless you. A good example can be seen in a Nylon bag.
Do you see
what happens when a hot water or any hot liquid is poured into a thin nylon
bag? It swelled first, before it’s now likely to either look abnormal or the
water bursts free. Either ways, the shape would've been negatively altered. That’s
what will happen when you want God to bless you when you’re not ready or you've
not prepared yourself for what you’re asking for. This also aligns with what
pastor Yemi said that you have to “Allow God to lift you”. This is saying that
God needs your cooperation to bless you. You have to make yourself fit to be
taken to the palace. If you want to get
promoted, you have to pass the promotion exam, and before you can pass the
promotion exam, you have to read for it. This is simply saying that you have to
be prepared for where you want to be, and you also have to show God that you
can handle fifty naira when all you have is five naira. With these words, I believe
you’re feeling you didn't miss… but I’m sorry to say… you missed… This is just
a tip on the Ice-berg. Selah.
