BE GREATER
To the precious body of Jesus Christ,
I pray that this text finds you in perfect time, which is, by our Lord’s standard, valid on all accounts.
I have been taken by the thought of God’s perfect time and greatness.
I believe this piece is of the utmost importance in a most critical time for the sons and daughters of God.
When faced with man’s definition of greatness, we perceive the few who stand above the crowd, adored by all, known by many, and spoken of in private as much as in public, feeding their ego’s appetite.
Still, their amour propre remains hungry in constant consumption, devouring all in its bottomless belly, including the body that holds it.
To be great, we perceive that we must be exalted and stand in a position reserved for Christ alone, perverting its power. We, mortals destined for dust, contest the office of the eternal body, Elohim.
What a foolish mistake we have all made.
Yes, there are those chosen to be an example, to stand before the public as a representative of God, but we are not all destined for this path.
We are all destined for something greater.
Consider Moses, the prophet of resounding renown, similar to us, the Gentiles, a murderer made a man of God through the constant, clicking clock of Christ: Even when placed in great tribulation, having gone to Pharaoh, his brother, time and time again, the lives of hundreds of thousands on the line, God did not lighten Pharaoh’s heart but instead chose to harden it.
Unbeknownst to Moses, at first, as it is written, the reasoning for this on multiple, repetitious accounts was to make the testimony greater.
When a solution was seen, God chose blindness. In the presence of painlessness, God chose pain. With a solution attainable, God created a problem.
In other words, though God could have easily saved the Hebrews, He chose to make it harder through the hardening of a heart, posing a question just as arduous to answer as it is to hear:
Do you want to be made greater?
Before answering, consider the time it took in between each brotherly meeting. As the stakes continually and quickly rose, God remained steady.
Where God could have wiped Egypt from the Earth, which to many would have been seen as a great testimony, He chose a surgical approach, gracefully cutting and mending, resulting in the release of His people.
So what is greater? The Parter of Waters parting the Dead Sea, or Jesus who turned the water to wine?
Yay, we look to the testimony of Christ, being told in the old and the new. Yes, miracles are great, and those who work them have attained much honorable praise, but do not forget the purpose of the power that backs the mysteries revealed.
For us to be made greater, we must not exalt ourselves but decrease as God increases; be made great, not by our name, but by the name of Jesus Christ.
Exalt Him, my precious brothers and sisters, and ye shall do great things, not of your desire or stature, but by the will and welly of God.
Be greater than the enemy by being less than Him; remember, the servant is not greater than his master.
For the testimony of Christ, which is our testimony, to grow, you must prepare for the pharaoh, the evil that comes to destroy it.
You and the multitudes shall attain deliverance from your bondage in God’s time, both slow and quick, moving and still.
Be not afraid of the coming storm. Embrace the rain. Believe that God is greater than whatever it is that ails you.
Let your testimony grow from the tumbling torrent; be ye made perfect through trial and tribulation.
We are greater than the enemy. We are the revivalists of our generation. We are the lights of the world, sent to light the path to Christ in the time we’re given, leading the people not to our ash-destined bones but to the eternal pillar of fire, our Lord, God, Jesus, Jehovah, Maker of Worlds and Deliverer of Souls, the very same who hath said we shall go and do great things, and greater things than these shall we do.
God bless you.
