It’s Your Turn Now At the summit, Moses removed the priestly garments from Aaron and put them on Eleazar, Aaron’s son. Then Aaron died there on top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar went back down. Numbers 20:28 (New Living Translation) God never substitutes, He replaces. Here God instructed Moses to replace Aaron with Eleazar. Aaron’s time was up and it was time for Eleazar to take his place. I want you to know God is changing things in your life and wants you to take on what He has purposed in your life. It’s your turn. It’s your turn for promotion. Today, know your promotion is here, take on the new garments and live out what He has already purposed in your heart. You will succeed. It’s your turn now! Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me. I release to you the old ways and the old nature and I take hold of what you have already purposed in my life to do. I declare I am reaching toward you and fulfilling all of my potential in Christ. I am covered by your grace. I love you. In Jesus Name Amen. God Is Behind Your Increase So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:7 Sometimes, we think that the increase or success which we enjoy is the result of our own efforts or hard work. Now, I am not advocating laziness, but the truth is that God is the one behind our increase. We see this truth when we read the story of Ruth, a young widow from Moab, who worked as a gleaner in a barley field from morning till evening. Now, we could attribute the entire ephah—a substantial 10-day supply—of barley she collected at the end of the day to her hard work. After all, she did work all day in the field. But when we read about how Boaz, the owner of the field, had secretly told his reapers to “let grain from the bundles fall purposely for her; leave it that she may glean” (Ruth 2:16), we know that it was because of Boaz’s intervention that Ruth ended up with so much. I believe that Jesus, our heavenly Boaz, does the same thing for us today. He causes people to favor us and “drop” blessings on us because He loves us. Then, He causes us to “pick up” these blessings. Often, it happens so seemingly naturally we forget that it is the Lord who has blessed us with the increases. A church member who runs a florist business shared that once, God caused someone who needed a lot of flowers to “drop” a huge order with her. She also shared that she was hardly making any money even though she had been working hard for many years. But when she became a Christian after coming to our church, she began to confess every day that God’s favor was on her. Within a few weeks, that big order worth S$14,000 came in. Only God could have given her such a supernatural increase. My friend, your hard work is not behind your increase. The Bible tells us that it is “God who gives the increase”. He is the one who is behind your increase and He delights in blessing you because He loves you! Thought For The Day God is the one behind your increase and He delights in blessing you because He loves you! youtube/watch?v=t9XYWvuPg-A
