Daily Devotional

When the world around you collapses, it is because God wants you on the mountaintop. When Joseph was in the pit, God was with him and he became a ruler in Egypt. Moses was marked a murderer by his own people ... he became their deliverer.

Know that if you are a child of God, God is ALWAYS in control. Always. When your world collapses, call out to God because He is still with you. He never leaves you nor forsakes you.

My friend, I do not know what is happening in your world right now. You could be in an environment facing retrenchment, a medical issue, an unstable marriage, an unfair dismissal ... but what I do know is that God is in that fire with you. And if you will just get rid of all uncertainty, and call upon the name of Jesus, and let God be GOD ... then, my friend, you will come out on your mountaintop.

Any problem in your life MUST yield the following three results:

1. It must give God the glory at the end of the day; 2. It must exhort and uplift you — your faith must be strengthened; and 3. It must produce a testimony in your life.

The one thing that a problem must not and, by faith, WILL NOT yield is destruction. If that happens, know that the problem is that your faith was shipwrecked. God uses problems to increase and perfect your faith ... it might be a small problem to others but I can assure you that the small problems give God more glory than the bigger ones at times.

When the problem subsides, when the walls around you crumble, remember that God has put you onto a mountaintop, just as He promises in His Word.
