“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV
There is no way you will hold on to God and God will not reveal Himself to you. There is no way you will hold on to God and He will not give you creative ideas.
Do you know that every problem in the world today is begging for an answer? Do you know that a lot of people in government, across the globe, do not have the answers? Do you know that many leaders are confused? That is why the believer is expected to stand out at all times as the solution provider.
So, when God gives you a solution because you have connected with Him in the realm of the spirit at the backside of the desert, they will look for you whether they like it or not. That is what we are talking about. This is the finest hour of the church. Arise, shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. It says darkness shall cover the earth, gross darkness the people, but the glory of the Lord shall be seen. It shall be seen upon your own life. Why? Because you are different. You are not like them. And kings shall come to the brightness of our rising, that is the Bible.
Are you there wondering whether those scriptures are not going to be fulfilled? Surely, they will be fulfilled. He says kings will come with their resources. They will come from the north, the south, the east and the west. They will come and deposit resources at the feet of the Lord and say: Let it be used in the service of your God.
We have come to a position where God is ready to shake everywhere. Look around you! Everywhere is shaking. Stay connected to God. He will give you creative solutions to problems. Your finest hour is here. It is your time to shine.
