Let God Announce You. Stop Doing It Yourself, It Won't last.

There is something about the story of feeding the 5,000 men that we all must know. Jesus knew what to do but the Bible recorded that He simply asked Peter what the multitude may eat just to test him, (John 6:5-6). JESUS ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT TO DO. it is our test that we should focus on and not on Jesus' capability. it is our unbelief that we must look into because Jesus already knows what to do to set you free from whatever be the challenge and bring your enemies to shame. it's not your job!

Notice from John 6: 1-15, the disciples that never believed that the five loaves and two small fishes, could be enough to feed 5,000 men, (not counting women and children) (John 6:7-9), were still the same people that gathered the fragments that remained which we were told filled up twelve basket (that is after everyone had been full). and in verse 14, it was recorded "then those men who had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into the world".

Beloved, there is something mysterious and striking about allowing the Lord to announce you, it wipes away years of shame, those that said it is impossible for you to achieve great heights will still be the ones that would be testifying of the goodness of God in your life. I am a witness! Look, it doesn't matter whatever you have been through, God said, "Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10). All He requires from you is to obey Him and seek Him with all your heart, (Matthew 6:33). There is no need trying so hard to prove to your enemies that you are great. Some people when they get any blessing from God, they engage in all manner of show-offs just to alert their enemies that they have arrived, and before they look back it's all levelled out.

look at the story of Solomon, He loved God and the He was a clear definition of wisdom, prosperity and fame, (1 Kings 10:7) but He let it get to his head and then what happened?? He went after women and they lured him into serving other manmade gods. but while I was meditating on this, I kept wondering how can someone who was so close to God (2 Chronicles 1:7-11), become an idol worshipper, I mean, didn't he see the signs and call himself to order?? He probably stopped going to the house of the Lord that he himself built, because that would have reminded him about God, but watch it, when the devil blinds any eye, He makes sure the person sees no more light, he makes the darkness the person sees appear as light before him, that's why Peter said in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour" also remember Proverbs 16:25, "There is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of death".

what about the story of David, the servant of God  whom God took from the sheepfold to the palace as a ruler of Israel (2 Samuel 7:8), who later allowed the fame to get to his head that he felt he could have anybody's wife that he so desires becoming an adulterer and also a murderer in a bid to cover up his sins. People of God, there is something we must know, NO SIN COMES ALONE! every one sin comes along with another partner sin and if the sinner is still blind then it yield to its multiples and then death. don't be deceived!

There are so many examples in the Bible of people God blessed and then with time it entered their head and they lost everything in shame and disgrace. Please, we must try not to be like them. One of the ways we can do this is to always let God announce us, Let God announce His blessing in our life,

because most times in a bid to show people especially your enemies that you have got it, you disconnect from God.

Note that it is one thing to get blessings from God, it is another thing to sustain it. The blessings of the Lord can only be sustained by staying connected to God. You cannot turn your back on God and expect His blessings to be sustained in your life. No, it doesn't work that way. you might say it's just little talk or whatever is little in your eyes. Philippians 2:3 says, "Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves"

you may say you are not among them, let me ask you, when you help the needy how do you do it? do you make a show of it?, Jesus speaking in Matthew 6:2-4 said, "Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in Heaven". in verse 3, Jesus explained further, "But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing". if actually your purpose is to receive our Father's reward then we must never boast about any good thing that we do, as a matter of facts, the Bible said your left hand should not even know what your right hand is doing. Please Don't Rub Yourself Of God's Reward, it is foolishness to miss out on the blessings of God when we help the needy. ALWAYS ALLOW THE LORD TO ANNOUNCE YOU. when He announces you, no man can denounce you.

if you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior, you need the grace of God to serve Him without failing but without accepting Christ you cannot access this grace, if you are not saved, you are not safe, if you are not sure, then you are not saved. if you would like to give your life to Christ or maybe you fell off at some point and you would like to return back and reconnect with God, say this prayer and mean it,
"Lord Jesus, I come to You today, I accept that I am a sinner and I confess my sins and repent from them. I believe that You died on the cross of Calvary for my sins. Thank You for forgiving me. today I am saved, I am born again. thank You Jesus". if you said this prayer congratulations, you are now a child of God, so let go of the past evil ways, for the Bible says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, all things are become new (2 Cor 5:17). Be Blessed.
