Every Christian needs to understand that the Father doesn’t want him living in uncertainty, not knowing what to do, nor asking everyone to intercede for him. As children of the Most High, we receive from the Lord the same treatment given to our brothers and sisters from the past, who served Him in the throughout various generations. Today is the right day to understand what is the God’s will for us and to fulfill it with excellence. God has no favorites!
David lived three thousand years ago. In his days, he learned that the Most High treats those He calls to be His people equally, making them ministers of His blessings. David never had any problems with his enemies, he just went out to fight them and returned victorious. We must act in this way, for we also serve God. Whoever does this will be considered great!
Do not deify the servants of the Lord of the past, for none of them were different from those of today. The Scriptures speak of Elijah, the man who went up alive to Heaven: Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months (James 5.17). Why was he greatly used? Surely because he believed in the Lord’s plan that had been revealed to him.
The Almighty gives Abraham’s children the same care as He gave the patriarch. Those who accept Jesus as their Savior have a better approach to God than people before Calvary, because they were not yet saved. Salvation only became real after Christ died, stripped Satan of the authority he had stolen from Adam, was made alive, and then -was resurrected. Can you believe this?
David understood that if God made known – widely known, revealed and exposed – His ways to Moses, He could also do it to him. Now, in his generation, the mission of leading the Israelites was of Jesse´s son. Therefore, every pastor must consecrate himself to lead the church according to the Word; after all, everything that God has to reveal is already written in the Holy Book. Every servant of the Lord must be holy!
The Israelites knew the deeds of God extensively, for they surpassed what other people heard about the works of the Most High on behalf of His people. The sons of Jacob were granted to see the glory and majesty of the heavenly operations. Because of this, they didn’t fear the battles to come. These revelations increased the people’s confidence in God.
We are living in the best phase of God’s work. So says the Bible: The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Haggai 2.9). So take your part in this building, for what we “see” was not shown to kings or to prophets!
In Christ, with love,

Father! How beautiful, wonderful and powerful You are! You have the best for Your children, today. You want them to see such exuberant glory at work on their behalf. There is no way to stop loving, praising and worshiping You, for You are magnificent!
Before Calvary, Moses and the others who were used by You saw Your power and worked wonders! We must believe and act, according to Your Word. If we don't, we will not exalt Your good name!
Pastors need to take this truth as a commandment and consecrate themselves. Then, You will be glorified through them, and through the people You have placed under their leadership. The saved are like the apple of Your eye: precious to You!
