My hands are on
the plough O Lord, I cannot look back. Whatever holiness can’t give me, may I
never receive. What love, self control and humility keep out of my grasp, may I
never obtain in Jesus’ name. Thou hast said “Love each other
in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each
other more honor than you give yourself.” Rom 12:10(ERV). I will do so
my Lord. If that means elective positions and the prime places of honour
elude me I welcome it. The life of a man does not consist in the abundance of
his possessions or positions. You are my life and my portion forever: Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy
words Ps 119:57(KJV).
When my money,
property and other rights are trapped, and truth with patience and godly
sincerity fail to release them, may I forever let them go rather than employ a
little compromise; proven though it may be to unlock them for others.
Grant me boldness
to speak for the truth with godly wisdom; may I never be silent in hope of
receiving favours from any who spurns your precious name. May I stand with Moses:
He thought it was better to suffer for the
Messiah than to have all the treasures of Egypt. He was waiting for the reward
that God would give him
Heb 11:26(ERV). Help me to stand alone with you uncompromising
with the world’s standards, and yet always realize I am never, and can never be
alone in walking with you. I have kept for
myself seven thousand men who have not worshiped the false god Baal Rom 11:4 (GNB). As long as the
earth stands there shall never fail to be witnesses unto the Lord who fear His
holy name.
May I desire nothing;
love not anything, as a close walk with you. All I yearn for is that in the Day
you bring forth your treasures I shall be one of them. "They'll be mine," says the LORD of the
Heavenly Armies, "in the day when I prepare my treasured possession. I'll
spare them, just as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Mal 3:17(ISV). Yes Lord, for did You not so promise all your
obedient ones? And now if you
carefully obey me and keep my covenant, you are to be my special possession out
of all the peoples. For the whole earth belongs to me Ex
19:5(ISV).
My idea
of being head and not tail is standing always with you the head. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
principality and power: Col 2:10(KJV) After all what makes the throne is where the king is seated; not the
size or material of the chair. It is not
a promotion to be in any office un compromising righteousness cannot give; no
sacrifice to give up what holiness cannot hold. And Lord, if ever I begin to
believe I know it all, trusting in my little wisdom or experience, quickly
grant me to see again that “If anyone thinks
he really knows something, he has not yet learned it as he ought to know it”.1Cor 8:2(ISV) in Jesus’
name I pray. Amen.
