TOPIC: SOURCE OF LIFTING: Your Company Matters (5)
One Year Bible Reading:
Hosea 7 - 10
Revelation 3: 7 - 22
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 75:6 - 7.
"6. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."
BIBLE READING:
Esther 2:21-23.
"21. In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 22. And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. 23. And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king"
Thinking Point:
When you fear God by doing what is right, lifting is on your way.
The Lord, the lifter of Head shall lift our heads within the remaining days of this year in Jesus mighty Name, Amen.
Today, our focus is on the company we keep and how it attracts or repels our lifting in life. Many can't go beyond their present position because they are comfortable with the mediocre company they keep. They limit their lift by the friends they keep and mingle with so nothing good can be seen in them to attract lifting. You know you can be walking in the same place but yet separated from those that do evil? King David said in Psalms 1:1-2,
"1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night."
When you walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in their way or sit in their seat when planning to harm others, lifting will always elude you. When you walk with life wasters and do what they do, going up is an abomination in such life.
Mordecai was privileged to sit at the king's gate where information flows, where nobles pass daily and you have access to receiving gifts that can turn your eye away from God. But Mordecai was never carried away by any of these things. He was focused on his duty. He heard of the plan to execute the King, instead of joining the plan to get rich, he turned a deaf ear to them and exposed their intention to Queen Esther who reported the issue to the King. He sat with sinners and murderers but he separated himself from them. In due time he was lifted by the King for exposing the plot.
When you do things right in the fear of God there is lifting for you. When you refuse to sit with the scornful to carry out evil plans against others there's a lifting awaiting you. The company you keep is a link to your lifting.
When Daniel interpreted the King's dream and was promoted, he also asked that His friends should be promoted too, Daniel 2:49. Define the company you keep, they either bring about your lifting or about your destruction. Keep a good company that influences you towards the things of God.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
