“...fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons” (1 Samuel 16: 1). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.When Saul failed and disobeyed God, God gave David an opportunity to be King of Israel. Saul’s failure was David’s opportunity; Saul’s rejection led to David’s acceptance; Saul’s demotion led to David’s promotion; Saul’s loss was David’s gain. Saul’s mistake led to David’s miracle.Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: the failure of others will make room for your success; when others are rejected, you will be accepted; the demotion of others will lead to your promotion; the losses of others will bring you gains. When others go down, God will take you up; when others lose grounds, God will empower you to gain more grounds; when others fade into extinction, God will cause you to shine in distinction.When men lose their places in destiny, God will make more room for you; when men miss opportunities, God will give you new opportunities; when men sin against God and He rejects them, you will take their place. When colleagues, bosses, subordinates, etc fail to improve and fall out of favour, you will take their place.Don’t spend your time criticising men who are missing or wasting their opportunities for greatness; look inwards and make sure you have what it takes to take their place. Don’t be embarrassed or surprised when your competitors seem to be out of ideas. Their failure is your chance to succeed.Focus on being who God wants you to be; strive to be better than those who have failed around you; and one day, their failure will be the platform for your success.Job 36 vs 7 (GWT) puts it this way: “He doesn’t take his eyes off righteous people. He seats them on thrones with kings to honour them forever”.Pray With Me: Lord, the failure of others will lead to my success, in Jesus’ name, amen.Follow on Twitter @jerrystreams.Have A Fabulous Friday.
