To him that overcometh will I will grant to sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne
(Revelation 3:21).
Our spiritual
promotions are based on our triumphs of faith. God watches to see us overcome
every challenge that we face because He’s given us the power to do so.
Your level of
spiritual maturity determines the kind of relationship you’ll have with the
Lord. Let me explain what I mean with this illustration: when you were a baby,
your parents did everything for you. They fed you, bathed you and changed your
clothes. But they stopped doing all these for you at a particular stage in your
life. This wasn’t because they loved you less, but because you had come of age,
and as such, you were expected to be more responsible for your life.
In the same way, there’s a stage in your
Christian walk where God isn’t at all perturbed when you’re faced with
unpleasant situations. In fact, He’s actually happy to see you face challenges because
He knows you can change any situation with the power he gave you. In addition,
you’re promoted spiritually each time you put the word to work and change
negative or hopeless situations.
It doesn’t matter that the doctors may have diagnosed you with an incurable or terminal disease; if you’re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, God isn’t at all perturbed about your situation. He’s actually waiting for you to reverse the situation. Or maybe it’s been five years since you graduated from the university, and you’re still trying to get a job, or start up your own business; God wants you to change that situation also.
You need to realized that you’ve come of age;
you’ve arrived in the place where God wants to see you change whatever negative
or hopeless situation you’re confronted with: “ye are God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in
the world”.(1 John 4:4)
