IN THE SEASONS OF TIME PART TWO-WINNING BY ALL MEANS IS NOT OF GOD

 Remember that Jesus said, “follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” He is the maker, making yourself the head by all means is just a temporary breakthrough rooted on sinking sands.

Avoid it! Stop it! Stop envying others! do your best, let your hands be clean and leave the rest to God. Arnold Schwarzenegger screamed “strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

Though David was in the deep bush, did he win at last? Was he not made head at last? How could he have overthrown the greatest power at that time with his own effort? Humanly speaking, his winning and being the head was impossible. Promotion does not come by cheating because at the said time, he had no Army. He becoming the king of Isreal had nothing to do with him killing Goliath. (He was chosen in first Samuel 13 and he killed Goliath in chapter 17).
Wilma Rudolph said, “winning is sure great, but if you are willing to do something great in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”
So, winning and becoming the head is not by anxiety or panic actions. It is by God favouring you in your due season. Remember Gehazi wanted to win and grow rich by all means, but he became rich with leprosy, if God be God, then in your season, your making by him will show forth for the world to behold. Wait on the lord.

Prayer points

Even in the land of famine, Isaac prospered. Tell God that things are hard but you want his power for success in all that you do.

Pray for help from above not to be envious of the prosperity of the wicked.
