IN THE CLOUD
Read Esther 6:1-11
Genesis 9:13, KJV
"I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth".
This month is our cloud month. There are those God wants to place in the cloud. The idea of placing something in the cloud is extremely distinguishing. God himself placed the rainbow in the sky. It therefore becomes obviously impossible for it to be hidden. A thing up there and one down here will attract different attention to themselves. God is setting men in the cloud. This setting up is not one that God is just doing as if He were irresponsible. Men He'll set in the clouds are those who have been tried and those who could show forth His life. The idea of setting them in the cloud therefore is to have life of Christ: His character and charisma revealed by example to the many humans that may consider them as examples to follow. Stars easily model character for many to follow.
It doesn't cost God much to help you in transitioning. While every Christian is in the Father's heart, yet it is not all Christians that God Himself will consider to make a cloud or rainbow Christian. The reason is simple. So that they won't set the wrong precedence. Did the Bible not say, "a city set on a hill can't be hidden neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel". This is the moment of revelation. If you've been light indeed, then God's intention isn't that you remain hidden. Those of you who have satisfied God's heart in the secret, where nobody watches, where nobody interferes; God is bringing a just recompense of setting you in the cloud. Who lights a candle and put it under a bushel? None does that. God doesn't put the rainbow in the cloud to be obscene. He wants all eyes to see you as he that He is certain of his life as one that will draw Glory to God. God is raising new stars, models and kingdom examples and if you'll continue to pass tests with God, He'll make you such one amidst men.
One king asked, "What shall be done unto the man the king desires to honour?" At the time this was coming out of King Ahasuerus' mouth, Mordecai had already saved his life and he has even gone unnoticed let alone rewarded. However, God called back that act of Mordecai and God rewarded Mordecai by setting him in the cloud. First, Haman who thought it would be him the king had thought to do such honour recommended such man to be honoured by being fully costumed in the king's worn clothe and then made to ride on his horse while taken throughout the city by one honoured princes of the king with a shout at every point in time that, "This is what example God makes out of the people He wants to honour".
Don't you like that? That's fame you're seeing in manifestation. For Haman, that's what he needed next but it is not of God to give the platform to men of crooked characters to rise. It's because they'll spread their crookedness. They may choose to rise through their notoriety but like Haman, they'll always fall before a Jew. God is raising you up, setting you up to take your place where the sun, moon and stars becomes obviously visible for all to see. His intention is one.
Matthew 5:16, KJV
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven".
As long as you bring glory to God, He doesn't mind your enjoying the affluence and much of that He'll still bring. So, know why you're being set in the cloud. The Lord has made up His mind to bless and of men to make stars, He won't change it. This is your time of great rising to where all eyes sees and where all gazes are directed to.
PRAYER: God, I learn discipleship that I may not be a crooked example. I shall be to the praise of God always.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20; Luke 9:7-27; Psalm 72:1-20; Proverbs 12:8-9
