Deuteronomy 28:1, “Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today’s life-giving word is taken from the book of Deuteronomy 28:1, “Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”
My dear children of God, God wants to exalt you. God says, “I will set you high.” How will He exalt you? To be exalted you need to be humble. When you humble yourself before the Lord you will be exalted by God before others and on the other hand, obeying God is of utmost importance to everyone. Obedience shows God that we love Him and we trust Him which in turn activates His power in our lives, but most importantly there is a reward for obedience as said in the verse Deuteronomy 28:13, “The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom”.
Everybody likes to be well placed in a high position. Nobody wishes to be at a lower level or lower position. Today God wants to fulfil your desire of being lifted to a higher position. God will exalt you, in your business, in your ministry, in your studies, in your work spot, and in every area of your life. Humble yourself before the Lord and obey Him. We can see in the Bible that God exalted Daniel. Though many kings changed, one after another, Daniel kept on moving forward. He held a high position in the government office of Babylon. He prayed three times a day and He was faithful and honest. Though kings came and left, Daniel kept on prospering and moving forward. Daniel was victorious. God Who lifted Daniel high above others amid different kings, God will exalt you too.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse that “Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.” Lord, you said, you will set your children high above all the nations. Exalt my children above all the people, where they were humiliated and stamped upon. May they be honoured by others, let their name be exalted and beautify them before others. We thank You for performing miracles for them and making them joyous. Bless them when they come in and when they go out. Bless them with royal exaltation.
In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.
