BIBLE IN A YEAR: Num 11-14
BREAKING NEWS
MEMORIZE: "And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him" and he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him” (Mark 3:13).
READ: Mark 3:13-15
The greater height is the higher ground. May the Lord take you to the higher ground today in Jesus’ Name. The Lord called His chosen twelve to the mountain. The Lord is calling you too higher ground today. There are several benefits from this. First, when you are on higher ground you would clearly stand out from the crowd. That spiritual location moves you from the multitude to become someone special. For instance, when they are about to eat in a big gathering, someone would take the microphone and call out the notables - the president, governors, senators, ministers, captains of industry, etc. to take their seats in the special reserved area. Finally, they would ask all others to take theirs with the commoners. Today, you are exiting the group of commoners! With divine permission and support, you are making an entry into the special class!
Another benefit of being on higher ground is that forces of darkness would have no choice but to obey you. Although Mark 16:17 promises believers the authority to cast out demons, many demons refuse to obey believers. They know their rights. Demons refuse to leave where they are, or what they are manipulating, if the fellow giving the command is a ‘commoner’. They would simply laugh at him and continue what they were doing. If you want demons to obey you, go to the higher ground! Soak yourself in God’s presence. Give Him quality worship. When you return with His glory all over you, and issue a command, demons would hear the command as if it was their Creator giving it, and would immediately comply.
In Matthew 17:1-9, Jesus took Peter, James and John to the mountain and He was transfigured before their eyes. They had the rare privilege of seeing Jesus, Elijah and Moses in glory and what transpired. When you are on higher ground, you would be open to divine revelations. You would see what others cannot see, and hear what others cannot hear. When you have access to see the operations and plans of your enemies, they would be afraid of you. They do not want you to spoil their plans. That is one way you can earn the respect of the satanic kingdom. It was on Mount Carmel Elijah heard the sound of rain after years of dryness (1 Kings 18:41-43); And he broke the news to Ahab. When you are on higher ground, you would have a foreknowledge of events before they take place and you would become a news breaker. And they would come to pass! Do you know you can be on higher ground and enjoy these benefits from now? Come up! Stop living below your potentials!
