ATTENTIVE TO DIVINE GUIDANCE (PART 3)

DECEMBER  4^TH

TEXT: Isaiah 45:1-6, 13-14.King James Version (KJV)

45 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

A careful study of our Scripture for today will reveal to you that God is able to raise up and use any political leader anywhere in the world to fulfill his purpose on the earth. The choice of the man Cyrus still remains a mystery to many. For God to fulfill His eternal purpose He picked up the most unexpected fellow and many were confused, this should make us careful not to run to conclusions.

Repeatedly the Lord has told us that he is raising people in our midst who will become passionate vision helpers. They will not be full of themselves, but be very glad to be part of what He is doing in our midst, and our God will prove himself faithful.

All we need to do to be in an advantaged position, is to remain attentive to details in His word and happenings around us. The following were declarations given during one of The Glorious Fountain’s meetings.

"In a time where some persons will be lifted, others will be coming down. And this is why you have to decide on time which of these groups you belong to, because this is going to be based solely on your walk with the Lord.

God is going to bless and receive glory from those who will not try to steal His glory (claiming they earned His blessings)." It is not going to be by might nor by power.

Don't be careless in making decisions. "So, if you are presented with certain opportunities this season, be sure to take time to find out if it is the will of God for your life." Beloved, be especially careful of those mouth watery opportunities, for that is where the wisdom and strength of many have failed them. Be attentive at all times.
