God
created us to be productive, increase and multiply (Gen. 1:28). These
attributes imply that life is progressive, going from one level to the other.
Once a child is born and begins to eat food, expectedly the child will crawl,
stand, walk and grow until maturity into adulthood; each stage signifies a new
height. Indeed, life would be boring and colorless, if we all remained at the
same level in our endeavors, be it in business, academics, profession or our
walk with God. During their journey to
the Promised Land, the children of Israel spent a lot of time at a particular
location, that God had to practically chase them to make progress! – Deut 2:1-3
“Then we turned around and went back into the wilderness following the route to
the Red Sea, as God had instructed me. We worked our way in and around the
hills of Seir for a long, long time. Then God said, "You've been going
around in circles in these hills long enough; go north” THE MESSAGE
The
dominion mandate that God gave us in Gen. 1:28, calls for constantly scaling
new heights and taking territories. It calls for new experiences and with that,
new responsibilities. Whilst the Israelites were fed miraculously for forty
years in the wilderness, when they entered Canann, the manna ceased and they
had to eat the crop of the land. And it doesn’t take a stretch of imagination
to know that they would also begin to cultivate the land (Joshua 5: 11-12). The
Prophet Isaiah and the Apostle John, were called into new revelatory
experiences in the throne room of God: Isa 6:1-2 “In the year that King Uzziah
died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his
robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two
wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two
they were flying” NIV; Rev 4:1-2 “After these things I looked, and behold, a
door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a
trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you
things which must take place after this." Immediately I was in the Spirit;
and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne” NKJV
Saul,
the first king of Israel set out to look for his father’s missing donkeys.
However, before the end of that journey, he had been anointed king, operated in
the office of the prophet and become “another man” (1 Sam 10:1-6). And he had
the assurances of Prophet Samuel - 1 Sam 10:7 "When these confirming signs
are accomplished, you'll know that you're ready: Whatever job you're given to
do, do it. God is with you!” THE MESSAGE. This season, God has made provisions
for us to achieve new heights. What is of prime importance, is how we respond
to the opportunities that lie before us. Our five-part series for the month of
March, “New Heights”, dwells on the emerging higher dimensions in our life and
walk with God. Join us this Easter Sunday, as we explore and conclude the
theme.
God
bless you.
