   *Divine Lifting -  Part 2*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  02 September 2024*


He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, To set them among Princes, And to make them inherit the Throne of Glory: For the Pillars of the Earth are the LORD's, And he hath set the world upon them - *1 Samuel 2:8 KJV*


*There are several ways a Man may be lifted.*


A Man may be lifted by another Man - *Esther 3:1*


A Man may also lift up himself - Absalom was on the journey of self lifting before he met his death.


A Man may also be lifted up by God - This is Divine Lifting.


*Let us discuss the Nature of Divine Lifting, some of which are:*


*(1)* It is beyond Human Imagination. 


A beggar sitting with the High and Mighty - *1 Samuel 2:8; Psalms 118:23*


*(2)* It is enduring or Lasting - *Ecclesiastes 3:14*


• Joseph was lifted at the age of thirty.


• His lifting lasted till the date of death. His lifting lasted for eighty years - *Genesis 50:26*


*(3)* It is Limitless. 


• When God is lifting a Man up, he may know where he started from, but he may not be able to grasp just how far God may take him. 


David is a Good Example of Divine Lifting.


He became Captain of his brothers - *1 Samuel 16:1-13*


He later became the King of Judah - *2 Samuel 2:4*


He climbed a higher height and became the King of Israel - *2 Samuel 5:3*


He later became the father of the King of Kings - *Mark 10:46-52*


*(4)* It is Contagious.


When a Man is lifted by God, everyone around will be lifted - *Genesis 30:27*


*(5)* It is sorrow free - *Proverbs 10:22*


*(6)* It is Irreversible because underneath are the Everlasting Arms - *Deuteronomy 33:27*


*No Force, no Witch, no Wizard can reverse whatever God has done* - *Isaiah 14:27*


*(7)* It is Withdrawable by God.


• God withdrew the lifting of Eli and his house - *1 Samuel 2:30*


• The lifting of King Saul was withdrawn by God - *1 Samuel 16:1*


*Prayer:*

Father, in Jesus Name, Please let my lifting be sorrow free and not withdrawn by You in Jesus Christ Name.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *MAINTAIN GOODWILL AND KIND-HEARTEDNESS* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  11 August 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. *Luke 10:33-34* *The Scripture has made it clear that God is Love (1John 4:8). And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
