CONFRONTING THE ENEMY AT THE GATE - Full of Them Series 004
Psalm 127:5, KJV
"How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates."
Do you know that in every culture there's a respect that follows you especially if you raise notable children? Having or raising notable children - ones that can confront the enemy at the gate is not only the heart cry of many people but is also the outcry of God. God is looking for representatives everywhere. God is looking for ambassadors everywhere. One thing that amazes me is this. There's no where where God is not represented. Even if it seems that a place has been islamicized or notable for resisting the gospel, never think God is handicap and has no one who fears Him or does His will there that would be ready to defend and sanctify Him as holy. God is well represented everywhere even if He only has a pint of people or just one. Our God is never stranded. In every nation, aisle, valley, mountain, jungle, city and even home, He has someone who He could take and use for His own glory. He has someone He could breathe Himself into (inspire) and have him or her do His sovereign will.
People, just like parents desire having children in order to escape disgrace or embarrassment, so also do God desires having children who would carry His aroma, name, values, emblem and institution worldwide. While Satan has gone to town creating needs in the lives of people and causing them harm, God is looking for those to fix into the seven mountains of the earth and every place where humans could be found to destroy the works of the devil and bring down His kingdom on them.
God, while testifying of Abraham says, "for I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him" (Genesis 18:19, KJV). "After him" to do what if not to abide by all God has commanded should be done? It is when all these are adhered to that Christ's values and the kingdom's are spread, imbibed and practiced by all. God is looking for those to use as His extension, rod, arm or witnesses to the world. How I pray that you'll have an opened eyes to understand and say, "God, if you give me, I will give him back unto you." It is such people with the heart of Hannah that God is answering now. God does not want to give to lose again. He's giving to gain more. When He sows Jesus (through His death), He reaped all of us. While Jesus conquers hell, death and the sting of death, God is expectant that you also will arise like a colossus in your calling, get administered and indeed manifest as arrow sent on errand. If God has you, He shouldn't be reproached any longer. If you're there, you should stand up for God and the kingdom. Therefore, God is seriously counting on you.
PRAYER: Lord, I am ready to stand for you when the need be. I carry the flag of Christ's kingdom. The gate of hell shall not overcome wherever I am.
