UNPRECEDENTED TIMES



Ezekial 40

Luke 9:46-48

The term as much as the description of greatness in the mind of God seems to be antithetical to how mankind approaches the very concept and idea of greatness.

In Luke 9:46-48 the disciples of Jesus seems to pose a question as whom among them is the greatest to which Jesus answers to say that the least of them was the greatest in the kingdom of God.

The term least described in Luke 9:46-48 alludes to humility as a character of a given individual.

In order to be a servant of effectiveness then it takes humility.

Additionally to serve others takes humility and the ability not to want to partake in self aggrandizement as much as self-glorification.

Servanthood does not draw unto itself praise nor glory.

Effective servanthood does not take away any shine because it understand that it's mission is to ensure that the shine of the master does not ever grow dim.

In this present times and in this dispensation there seems to be many masters rather than servants.

And all the masters of the world are fighting for a shine that seems to be more superior in comparison to that of their contemporaries.

In true essence our master is only God in Christ Jesus.

And because our master is only God in Christ Jesus in order to be effective servants of God it had to take Jesus the son of God to come down from the heavens in order to show us by example on how is it that we can be sons and servants of God.

A faithful servant does not at one point try to equate himself with his master.

However we are at a time in our era when servants of God want to compare themselves to God.

Any master would be offended if he chose a servant and then while in the line of his duty the servant begins to compare himself to the master.

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures in order to set in motion a season of unprecedented proportions.

In Ezekiel chapter 40 God seems to use enemy forces against the nation of isreal to destroy the city where the temple is located and then later he reveals to prophet Ezekiel ways in which he is going to restore the temple.

The temple of God represents the Glory of God in the earth as much as the house of God's dwelling.

Indeed and infact we are in an era where the servants of God in the temple of God are drawing so much glory unto themselves rather than giving God the Glory.

Every thing seems to be about the man of God and not God himself.

Every thing seems to be about the servant and not the master.

These are unprecented times because every thing seems to be about the creature and not the creator.

Without a doubt these are unprecedented times because man is more glorified than God.

Men of God are worshipped and praised more than God is praised.

The temple of God has become many a thing much akin to a rotarian club galvanizing funds for self actualization.

It's a market place of selling and buying commodities and turn a profit for the man of God.

And once the man of God turns a profit then he is able to fund the fulfilment of his personal desires such as: building a mansion, buying a jet, marrying another wife and acquiring every item that defines wealth.

Consequently God seems to have set in motion enemy forces that have cast the world in a place of having to deal with a problem that is void of a solution.

So many men of God have marketed themselves on the premise of possessing unique powers to solve all problems.

But here we are and the whole world is wrestling with a problem that no man of God can solve.

And this is the hand of God designed to prove to the world that all power belongs to no man of God, all power belongs to no servant of God but all power belongs to God.

And as if that's not enough God is telling the whole world using an event that is threatening the daily routine of global life that there is no body greater because God is the greatest of all and all praise, Glory and honour belongs to him.

Ofcourse this is not the end of the world but it's the beginning of unprecedented times where God is drawing the attention of the world to the fact that he alone is the master of the universe.

Being anointed of God and used of God does not make you equals with God.

God using you does not give you the carte Blanche to take away the honour that belongs to God and then use that honour to place yourself above the rest of your peers.

In unprecedented times unprecedented repentence is a key component in the restoration of mankind.

This is vital cause mankind is the living temple of God Almighty and once mankind is restored the Glory of the temple of God is restored.
