Beloved, I want you to know that God is mindful of what you are going through. The desire of God is to profer solution to whatever you are going through. God is a big God. He does not believe in minimum but maximum, He does not believe in poverty but riches, that is why He said, thou shall be the head and never beneath. In Deuteronomy 7:14, He said thou shall be blessed above all people, so His desire is to bless you beyond your expectation, because He is an exceedingly supplier and He supported this notion when He said in Ephesians 3:20 that ’And unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what we can think and desire according to the power that works in us which is the power of expectation. In the book of Isaiah 61:3, He said in place of ashes, He will give you beauty, the oil of joy for the oil of mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Beloved, every situation has a place. Every situation has a location. For example if you are poor or suffer lack, it means poverty has occupied the financial area of your life. If someone is sick, it means, the area that pertains to that person’s health is threatened, whereas if someone is seeking a permit to stay in a country that is not the country of origin, it means that aspect of that person’s life that has to do with his freedom or liberty is being oppressed, but the desire of God is to take you from that uncomfortable situation to a place of rest that he has ordained for you, knowing fully well that the end of every trial is testimony, the end of every battle is victory and there is no Cross without the crucifixion. That is why God took Joseph fom the pit to the palace, He took Mordecai from being a gate man to become the Governor of a province while Esther was elevated from the position of slavery to become the first lady of the nation. God want to take you from that place of distress, sorrow, anxiety and worry to a place that is pleasing not only to Him but to you as well. I decree and I command, God will take you from every unfavourable situation into your wealthy place.
In Genesis 12, God saw the situation of Abraham, a godly man living with his father who was an idol worshiper. God was interested in taking him out of that bondage to a wealthy place and so He spoke to him in Genesis 12:1-3 and God said ’Get thee out of thy country, out of thy kindred and out of your father’s house to a place that I will show you and I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shall be a blessing and I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee and in thee all the nations of the earth shall be blessed’. In the book of Hebrews 11:8-10, God recall His interest in placing us in a place that is desirable, a place of joy, a place of rest, a place of abundance and comfort irrespective of the situation we are going through and regardless of our circumstances when He spoke in Hebrews 11:8-10 that ’By faith, Abraham when he was called to go out into a place which he should after received for an inheritance, obeyed and went, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob the heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked for a city which hath foundations and whose builder and maker is God’. God called Abraham out of bondage, out of poverty, out of idolatry to a place that he would later receive as an Inheritance.
Beloved, irrespective of the situation you are going through,
irrespective of the circumstances prevailing over your life,
irrespective of the benefits you have been denied of, there is an inheritance you must receive, there is a Canaan you must claim,there is a blessing ordained for you, there is an opportunity that must come your way, there is a promise you must enter into, there is a joy that must overwhelm your life, because God wants to take you from a place of nothingness to a place of inheritance. That is why the Psalmist declared in Psalm 118 verse 5 and said ’I called upon the Lord in my distress and the Lord answered me and set me in a large place’. May the Lord set you in a place that is bigger than your dreams, may He set you in a place that is bigger than your imaginations, may He set you in a place bigger than your expectations, may He set you in a place bigger than your achievements. Ephesians 1:3 stated that ’Blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. May the Lord set you in a place where demons cannot touch you, may He set you in a place where your enemies will be forced to be at peace with you, may He set you in a place of recognition. In Psalm 16:5-6, the Psalmist affirmed that ’The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup, thou maintainest my lot, lines are falling in pleasant places onto me and behold, I have a goodly heritage. He said lines are falling unto me in pleasant places. What are lines? lines means your path, it means direction. David said God has set him in a place that is pleasing to Him. When God set you in a path that is pleasing to Him, you can never fall, you can never fail, you can never be diverted, you can never be confused. I decree and I command, may God set you in a place where your strength cannot carry you to, may He set you in a place where connection cannot take you to, may he set you in a place where your wisdom and knowledge cannot take you to and may he set you in a place that is higher than you!!!!!. In Psalm 126:1-3, the Psalmist said ’when the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we are like them that dream and our mouth shall be filled with laughter and our tonque with singing, then said they the heathen among them, the Lord hath done great things for them, the Lord hath done great things for us and we are glad. I decree and I command that the Lord will do great things for you in this month of Grace the month of May and in this year and beyond in the name of Jesus.
