As the Spirit of God inspires me this day to inform you, I think is it time for many genuine Christians to know that:
1. Firstly, GOD will keep you in PRIVATE (veil or hide you) to PREPARE you for His Work IN and THROUGH you in Christ in this World, then
2. Secondly, GOD will step you up in PUBLIC (unveil you) to CELEBRATE you by doing His Work IN and THROUGH you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Remember the Bible reveals to us thus:
For it is GOD which works IN you both to WILL and to DO his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13).
I discovered lots of genuine Christians do not want to stay where God is HIDDING them for PREPARATION of His Work IN and THROUGH them in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad!
And,
1. This is because they have SCHOOLED their MIND in COMFORMITY to World's demand on us to NETWORK with people every now and then to be popular, prosperous and make progress in lfe. True! So sad, so bad! (Romans 12:1, 2; 1 John 2:15-17)
2. This is because they have NO strong FAITH in God's faithfulness and ability to bring them out from such HIDDEN PLACES He has designed and ordained to keep them for His PRIVATE PREPARATION and then for His PUBLIC CELEBRATION for them in due time. True! So sad, so bad! (Romans 4:17-25; Hebrews 11).
Now, can I tell you a truth, if you hastily leave or miss God's PRIVATE (veiling or hidding) PLACE designed and ordained for you to PREPARE you for His Work IN and THROUGH you in Christ in this World, you would also have hastily left or missed God's PUBLIC (unveiling) PLACE that is designed and ordained for you to CELEBRATE you for His Work IN and THROUGH you in Christ in this World after you would have sacrificially and successfully allowed Him to prepare you in those uncomfortable places. True! Take note, take heed!
Many times, many of the uncomfortable PLACES you have found yourself in the past, now presently finding yourself and will find yourself in future, may just be God's designed and ordained PRIVATE PLACES of PREPARATION for you in Christ in this World until a designed and ordained time when He will get you to His designed and ordained PUBLIC PLACES of CELEBRATION for you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, know and note that:
1. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) ABRAHAM in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for twenty five(25) divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE him for His Work IN and THROUGH him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling him to CELEBRATE him by doing His Work through him giving birth to Isaac that will symbolize the new covenant's sacrificial lamb of Christ. True!
2. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) JOSEPH in the Pit, Potipher's house and later Prison for twelve (12) divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE him for His Work IN and THROUGH him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling him to CELEBRATE him by doing His Work through him in the Palace as Prime Minister of Egypt. True!
3. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) MOSES in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for forty (40) divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE him for His Work IN and THROUGH him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling him to CELEBRATE him by doing His Work through him to bring out the Children of Israel from Egypt and taking them to the promise land. True!
4. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) DAVID in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for fifteen(15) divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE him for His Work IN and THROUGH him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling him to CELEBRATE him by doing His Work through him establishing a messianic linkage and throne that will see JESUS CHRIST enthroned as King of kings of the World. True!
5. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) JOHN the Baptist in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for some divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE him for His Work IN and THROUGH him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling him to CELEBRATE him to prepare the way for Jesus Christ. True!
6. GOD PRIVATELY HID (veil) JESUS CHRIST in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for thirty (30) divinely designed and ordained number of years to PREPARE Him for His Work IN and THROUGH Him in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling Him to CELEBRATE him by doing His Work through Him to pay for the sin of humanity. True!
7. GOD WILL PRIVATELY HIDE (veil) YOU in uncomfortable and comfortable circumstances for some divinely designed and ordained certain number of years to PREPARE you for His Work IN and THROUGH you in this World before PUBLICLY unveiling you to CELEBRATE you by doing His Work through you in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 Peter 5;6-10).
The truth to be told is that after you have CONFIRMED from GOD that you need to stay on in your divinely designed and ordained PLACE of PREPARATION (uncomfortable zone), you really DO NOT need then to push or network yourself out of your divinely designed and ordained PLACE of PREPARATION like the people of the world do. True! This is because the Lord will cause circumstances that will GET you out graciously and gloriously in His own DUE TIME and in His own WAY to His glory and praise. True! Take note, take heed! (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Finally, know and note that the KINGDOM of GOD on EARTH is the spiritual PRESENCE and POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ operating at different stages (or levels) of ruling and reigning IN, WITH, UPON and THROUGH the lives of genuine followers of Christ in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 4:20; Galatians 14:17).
Therefore, we have:
1. SALVATION STAGE.
This is the pardon stage of the Kingdom of God where a sinner is genuinely born again in Christ by the Kingdom of God's (the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) conviction and thereafter coming INTO him or her to become a Saint in Christ in this World. It is an COMMENCEMENT (entry) level into the Kingdom of God. (Micah 7:18-20; John 3:1-8; Luke 17:20-23).
2. SUFFERING STAGE
This is the preparation or perfection stage of the Kingdom of God where a Saint is permitted by God to suffer with Christ with the help of the Kingdom of God (the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) that is WITH him or her in Christ in this World. It is the CROSS CARRYING (getting ready) level in the Kingdom of God. (Mark 6:34-38; Acts 14:21-23; Romans 8:1-28; 1 John 2:27).
3. SERVICE STAGE
This is the purpose fulfillment stage of the Kingdom of God where a Saint receives the Kingdom of God (the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) upon him or her and through him or her begins the manifestation of his or her original reason of existence or purpose of recreation in Christ in this World. It is the CAUSE CARRYING (good work) level of the Kingdom of God. (Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 1:8; Acts 2).
Every genuine Christians should ensure:
1. STARTING WELL their salvation, suffering and service race in Christ in this World. (Romans 10:8-10).
2. RUNNING WELL their salvation, suffering and service race in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 12:1-2).
3. FINISHING WELL their salvation, suffering and service race in Christ in this World. It is called FINISHING your course (your unique and specific life purpose race or pathway in Christ in this World) and FIGHTING the good FIGHT of FAITH. (John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).
Whenever your LIFE is going in such a way you do not understand because of what God is doing to get you privately READY (prepare) for His public CELEBRATION of you or you have lost CONTROL or being in CHARGE of your life and situation, just say, Lord I do not know HOW my life is going and HOW you are going to do it, but I have made up my mind to TRUST you always and all the way in Christ in this World no matter what. He will surely make all things BEAUTIFUL for you in His time and SETTLE you more than your expectation in due time. True! TRUST ON IN FAITH! (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; 1 Peter 5:6-10; Hebrews 11).
Take note, take heed!
God bless you.
