   *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• The lifting of King Saul was withdrawn by God - *1 Samuel 16:1*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Father, in Jesus Name, Please let my lifting be sorrow free and not withdrawn by You in Jesus Christ Name.

Jacob was enlarged, and the Bible says, the man (Jacob) increased Exceedingly - *Genesis 30:43* The Enlargement of Jacob was with a lot of Struggles.  He Struggled with Esau, his brother, in the womb - *Genesis 25:22* Even when he was born, he continued to Struggle with Esau, for his Birthright.  Jacob, in his quest for Enlargement, deceived his father.

While he was Sleeping, he dreamt and saw the Heaven opened and...
