LUKE 22:42 Saying,
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my
will, but yours, be done.”
The bible shows how that Jesus the son of God was in the
garden praying about the death he had to face. By revelation Jesus knew that his one
mission in the earth was to die, but when the time to die had come, Jesus who
was 100% human and 100% divinity needed to pray and God sent angels to
strengthen him. His strengthen was failing and heaven had to intervene, but
only by his prayer. The disciples slept from sorrow [Luke 22: 45], but Jesus prayed instead, and he
received strengthen [Luke 22: 43]. Heaven will only intervene as an answer to our prayer.
The focus of this article is not on prayer, but for us to
awaken to the reality that the tests we go through in life are a divine set up
for divine promotion. They are different classes and realms in the spiritual
realm. But before you pass the test and graduate with a testimony, promotion
will not come. We can never expect, in academics, to cross over to another year
without clearing the previous year. This
applies also in the realm of the Spirit.
Some of us are at the same level we have been from the day
we were born again because we refuse to take the test. Listen we have the Holy
Spirit to teach us and train us and make us ready for whatever test. We can’t
fail with his help. So instead of being stuck in the same spiritual level, we
need to grow up, mature spiritually and pass the test so that promotion can
come. To pass the test, you must take it.
Paula white says, “it may not all be God sent, but it will
be God used.”!
I mean look at Job he was pressed and tested. It was not God
sent, but God allowed it, and the result after was by far greater than the
result before. If God has allowed it think of it as a setup for promotion. If
you can just exhibit godly principles, if you can respond from the word and not
your vulnerability to the test, God will take you to the next level of your
walk with him.
James 1: 2-4
Count it all joy! that test isn’t here to break you but its
purpose is to thrust you into purpose. Its purpose is to cause you to walk into
another realm of glory. Its purpose is to push you into another dimension,
another class. So stop looking at the storm and allow the Holy Spirit to teach
you to walk on water. Because you are the determinant of how long you will stay
in a certain realm.
