YOUR PLACE!
Read Matt.5:13-16
Matthew 5:15, KJV
"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."
You are the light of the world. A city that's set on a hill can't be hidden. You are meant for manifestations: a kind of signs and wonders to the world. You have a place and God's intention and commitment to see you to same is very much settled. Everybody will have their days of little beginning. This day is characterized by humility in achievement. No name, no fame yet there may be calling, the anointing, glory and God's approval on you. That day is like a candle lit and put under a bushel. That candle also has a light to shine to its world but its light has been hindered, described, curtailed and covered. So, people wouldn't be able to taste of its far reaching capabilities. What is the capability of any light? To make people see. But because this one has not been given an entrance into the body of Christ or the world at large, it still remains where its light is not known for what it could do. It has the light, the very thing that everybody is seeking to rejoice in and by which they want to be enlightened so they won't fall or grope in darkness but because it's not yet meeting its ordained season or because it has not been endorsed by God, this light with all its capabilities remain hidden and unprofitable like a candle under a bushel. His geography has been defined. It can go far but not further. That bushel is also an instrument and device that Satan and those who don't want you to shine do initiate to curtail one's glory, name and fame. They won't want you to fill the room like the alabaster box containing ointment that was broken here which immediately set loose the fragrance and perfume coming from it (Mark 14:3). Only God knows what your calling could become if it's not hindered or curtailed. As it spreads its branches, tentacles and wings, it may reach nations and even continents. People might have been orchestrated to see beyond your light as it transcends the shore of your nation but are you still under a bushel? Are you still under a man who calls himself a mentor but yet has become an overbearing father. If he has lost sight of what you should become and has slipped into selfishness, may God lift his thumb off you so you might rise and go all the way spreading your light without definition of boundary or manifestation. Don't wrestle him, wrestle God to free you and take you further. He'll do His own work.
But here's another lit candle. This one is as well lit and with the same capabilities as the first. However, this one has found or let me say gotten to its Rehoboth - a place where room is made for it. A place where if he wants to shine and burn a thousand times, he's all allowed. He's on his height, on the platform of destiny known as the lamp stand to give light to all in the room and people are willing to rejoice in his light as long as it tarries. This candle is that performer, artiste or star who's not restricted. On the stage, it displays its capabilities freely and eloquently and becomes the manifested and famed candle not because he has the light but because his light and unique gifting and abilities are allowed to be expressed and have been brought out where they could be contacted and experienced. I therefore pray that if you have a manifestation to manifest, may God bring you into a wide place for your feet. May the One I cry to day and night spread a table before you even in the presence of your enemy. May he allow you to leave your neighborhood or community into a location and place of acceptance where the ground is made ready for you and where destiny has ordained you should encounter your purpose of living and giftedness. It is not that the candle under the bushel has no light to display but a lamp stand or environment was denied it. Today, you won't become again and again victim of your curtailing environment, human or satanic doings.
PRAYER: Set me on my lamp stand, on my heights. I colonize my hills. Free me into destiny.
