Topic: YOU CAN BE REPLACED!
Memorise: Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 3:11
Read: Esther 7:9-8:2, Bible in one year: 1st Samuel
20:1-21:9, Mark 8:1-21
It is great folly to contend with God. This is why I pity those
societies that have become anti-God and are challenging His commandments. God
spoke about such people in Isaiah 45:9, saying:
“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the
potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that
fashioned it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath on hands?
God can enthrone and dethrone at will. He does whatever pleases Him.
You are blessed when God acts positively towards you, but if He decides to move
against you, pray for His mercy. The Bible in Daniel 2:21 says:
“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he
removeth kings and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and
knowledge to them that know understanding:”
It is a grievous experience when God decides to replace an individual.
Human the Agagite experience this, and you can see the result in our Bible
reading today. King Ahasuerus promoted Human above all his fellow princes.
However, he thought it was by his own making that the promotion came. Little
did he know that promotion does not come from the east or west, but from the
Almighty God alone (Psalm 75:6-7). So, he began to misuse his highly exalted
position to victimise the people of God. He continued to misbehave along this
line until the Almighty God who ordained his promotion decided not only to
demote him, but also to replace him. I pray for you as a child of God, that
whosoever is using his or her position to victimise you shall be replaced in
Jesus’ Name.
For God not to replace you, you must learn from those He has
replaced. You can be replaced if you don’t make the best of the position of
authority you are given to serve God’s people. Beware of divine replacement
because it can affect your future generations. Eli was replaced, and his house
lost the priesthood forever. God categorically said that although He was the
One who said Eli’s house would walk before Him as priests forever, He had
changed His mind about this (1st Samuel 2:30). Please run away from
whatever will make God replace you. If you have done such things, you must
repent quickly before he removes your candlestick (Revelation 2:5).
Prayer Point:Dear Holy Spirit, nudge my heart away from doing anything
that will make the Father replace me in Jesus’ Name.
