Day 37. Prayer Focus: Glorified and Overshadowed by God.

• Scripture Base: Psalm 3:3

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.” (Psalms 3:3 AMP)

• Introduction:

One of the reasons I struggled with answering God’s Call was because I dreaded poverty.  

Majority of the Church leaders that I grew up knowing were great men but very poor. To me, righteousness was synonymous with poverty. And I wanted none of that, especially when preachers then emphasized that the poor in spirit are blessed. 

However, my opinion began to shift a bit with the advent of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa. He brought a new perspective to working with God. 

It was a hard struggle to yield to God. And after I did, everything I feared happened to me. I became homeless, jobless, sick, ostracized by loved ones and separated from my kids.

That period lasted until I caught the revelation that God calls to honor, I overcame my fears and started applying the Word of God to my life. 

It was a long and lonely road because it was necessary to unlearn ingrained beliefs and to learn new beliefs from the Word of God.

One of the scripture verses that God used in my training was Isaiah 43:7: which says, “Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.’”(Isaiah 43:7, NLT)

It was such an eye opener for me to know that God created me for glory and not for the negatives I was experiencing. I began making confessions of who I am.

Then I read again of how Mary found favor with God, was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and eventually birthed God’s Vision for the World.

And I knew that I Hephzibah is favored and honored to be chosen from among the Billions of earth’s inhabitants to be a Royal Priest and Ambassador for Christ.

It was then I realized that poverty was relative to perception and not to position.

Although you may be born poor, God did not create you poor. And when you are born again,  you are no longer disadvantaged. 

Your Father owns the silver and the gold, and the cattle on the fields belong to Him. In fact, your Father owns the world. You are the heir of all things (1Peter 1:4), the heir of Promise (Galatians 3:29),  and joint-heirs with Christ ( Romans 8:17).

In Christ,  you have been repositioned for excellence, success, greatness etc.  Trials, afflictions, and other challenges are training sessions to your next level.  

When you clearly understand these things, your perception will change, and you will take advantage of your challenges to touch more lives for God. 

Wherever you are now is your place of assignment . You are not poor but the one who makes others rich! You are the healed who is healing sick folks, raising dead bodies  and setting the captives free.

Stop being subject to tte beggarly elements of the world . Live as the light of the world and salt of the earth.

In this end times, we must birth and nurture God’s vision for our world and add value to lives. We must shine and illuminate our world. 

Not while we are still here would we allow the devil to ride roughshod over humanity. All satanic agenda are neutralized

Power changed hands when we became born again. The world belongs to us . We know who we are. We are the deliverers sent by God to our world to lead folks to Inherit the promises of God. 

We are not of them that draw back to perdition. 

It is important to know that all born again children of God are chosen vessels and royal/priests.

 Your work with God is primary  while your career, business etc are secondary. When you have this mindset, conflict of interest will not arise.  God is number one. Shalom.
