ITS NOT YOU

“Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time” (1 Kings 19: 2). When Jezebel heard that Elijah had killed the prophets of Baal, she threatened to attack Elijah’s life. Elijah slew those Baal prophets because he was a Prophet of God, he could only kill them because he operated under God’s instructions; God was fully involved in the events that led to the death of those Baal prophets. Notice that when Jezebel threatened to attack Elijah, she never spoke of attacking God. She left God out of the picture; she spoke as if Elijah acted alone with his own powers. She threatened to destroy Elijah for an achievement, and forgot the divine power that made the achievement possible. Aren’t there people who are willing to fight against us and our achievements, because they think we did it alone without God? Sometimes, men underrate us, because all they see is us, with no idea that God is working for us behind the scene; sometimes, we are worried and depressed because we imagine that whatever we want to do is about us. Friend, it is not all about your skills, abilities, intellect, contacts, etc; it is not necessarily about the things you have done right; it is all about God. Your victory is all about God; your success, progress, and achievements are all about God. Let no man think that you are alone and unprotected; they may know what you can do, but they have no idea of what God can do on your behalf, behind the scenes. Don’t leave God out of the picture of your life; don’t imagine that you have made any progress by your strength. The moment you detach God from your efforts, the enemy will come after you to make a mess of your destiny.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Lord, You are my anchor, everything in me is all about You, in Jesus’ name. Have A Restful Day
