LORD, MAY IT BE, "BY ME" - Our Saviour Series 005
II Kings 5:1, KJV
"Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper."
Lord, may it be, "for by me". When they're speaking of the hero of the people, the deliverer of nations, the history maker amidst others, may you and I be reckon with.
The testimony concerning Naaman is, "for by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria..." Immediately, we know for by who God had given deliverance and could now discern this differently from he or she God did not found available for same use. That's why I'm praying today that, it'll be, "for by you".
This assignment that's hovering around in the spirit; this errand God wants to commission someone on, this mantle that must be taken up by another vessel (either because of the home-going of a beloved saint, disobedience and expelling of a reprobate vessel, the turning away from an already heeded call or the refusal to heed the call), I'm trusting for you that it'll find you worthy to rest on. May you be called and sent. May you be that saviour, that deliverer God wants to deliver by. May God have such plan for you like He had for Gideon and his three hundred men who qualified themselves (Judges 7:7). As in, what a privilege to be part of the company God uses and wants to use. What a blessedness! May you therefore not despise God's nudge to come when He knocks on the door of your heart. The reason for this is so that heaven may reckon, "it's by you" the accomplishment that's being trusted for was done at day's end.
Hebrews 11 serially outlines the heroes of faith. Men and women who received a good report just because they weaved faith (Heb.11:2). In there, you'll see the praise of these heroes and their mighty deeds. What a thing that touches the heart that such men and women were found to have weaved faith. What a blessing that they availed themselves for the great things told about them! Because of same, they immediately became qualified to be reckoned with and recorded to have done those mighty things undeniably. All because they were willing and obedient, they had the honour. All because they kept to the motivation and the urge on their inside to hold on, they earned God's praise. When God is making up His jewels; when God is seeking to fetch His captains of thousands and hundreds, may He find you worthy. May you avail yourself for the great and mighty things God seeks to do on the surface of the earth. May nothing be too precious to you to release to God inorder to enter into the category of those He wants to deliver by. I'll rather be the tool of God than be that of men. I'll rather lend and give myself to God than be lent to a man - an employer of labour. I'll rather trust God to meet my needs than to miss His provision by laboriously working for what to eat when I have had His call to come and be a "deliverer".
May what we'll begin to hear about you be, "for by you God delivers, heals, witnesses the gospel and does good everywhere." May we hear, "for by you God invents, innovates, creates and models." Where God has ordained gazes should be turned to you, may you not shrink from walking same path. If you've started, may you not jettison it for others to raise to honour. May it be your name that'll be inserted on such task that has vacancy in the spirit. May it be you the world would applaud and all gazes would be directed at in envy at the mentioning of, "for by him God has done this and that..." Whether the onlookers like it or not, whether Naaman has enemies or not, it's still "because of him God had given deliverance unto Syria." Not another!This became undeniable and attracted honour and recognition. May I say if you heed and you'll let it be by you God will deliver your family, there will be people in your family who will open their mouths to say, "for by him" we've been ushered into the light we now walk in. Everybody will be grateful after tasting that light. We bear record to he who has done it indeed. Not to he who wants to do it but rather he who is doing it or has done it. I pray you won't miss what should be done by you. It can pass you by but may you recognize your moment. May you recognize when men are being recruited by God. The salvation, deliverance God has ordained you for shall be done by you. God ordained Jesus for the redemption of mankind and he lived up to that.
Matthew 1:21, KJV
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
Imagine that! For by Jesus His people and the Gentile world are saved and is being saved from their sins. Look at what we attribute to Jesus. Not only because it was said He'll do such assignment but because He really did it eventually. There's a sacrifice that goes with being the hope and salvation of others but if you'll heed this call, it shall be written of you that, "for by you such has been done." Receive grace after grace to bear and cope. Even when it weighs on you, receive grace to trudge on. Even when your faith wants to fail, God's hand will not let you sink. You will be upheld. I say receive grace, grace, grace! I shout, "grace, grace, grace over you." It will be by you. It is by you. It will not be by another. Amen!
PRAYER: Lord, what assignment is roaming the air, sensitize me to it and let it be, "by me." May I heed the unheeded but wasted calling that has ran down my lineage till now. By me, desolations of many generations are raised.
