NOT ACCORDING TO THEIR WORDS.
Lam.3:37 “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, When the Lord commandeth it not?” The final say over any situation does not lie with any man, regardless of their power, position or influence. Therefore, when men or situation makes their final decision concerning you, although they have the right to their opinions or word, the good news for you, a child of God is that such decision is not binding on you neither depicts what will be your lot. Ps.2:1-4, “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.” Agents of Satan may have made up their minds concerning you and planned evil for you, the Word of God says the Lord will make jest of them – Hallelujah! A group of disgruntled elements decided and planned to execute Daniel, they got the king to write and seal a decree aimed at Daniel, the One who is in Heaven simply laughed at them, and at the end of the day, they and their families ended up in the cauldron they set up for Daniel. Is.43:3-4 “For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.” Have men written you off, God says you are precious to Him, and therefore, will not leave any stone unturned to ensure that you will say like Sarah, the Lord has made me to laugh. Have men concluded that you are not qualified for honour, like David, the one sent to pick the next big news in town, will not sit until you are brought into that honour IJN. Maybe, they have even said it is too late for you, like Lazarus, you are coming out alive and better than even the very best. The brothers of Joseph thought in their minds, that great thing will not happen in his life, so they sold him to slavery. Potipher thought Joseph was expendable, so he abandoned him in prison, the baker thought, of what use can you be to me, so he forgot him even though he promised to bring up his issue before the king. Everyone turned their backs at him, but one day, the One that has the final say and never forgets His own, troubled the greatest individual on earth and confused all his advisers, then the forgotten Joseph was lifted from the prison into the palace. Beloved of God, the Word for you today is that no man has the final say concerning your life, only God. Therefore, bearing in mind Is.59:1-2, you must shun every attempt of Satan and his demons to tempt you into sinning, because it is the only thing that can cause Him to abandon you. Or if you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus, then, God is not obliged to look after you, indeed, if anything, you belong to Satan. Hab.1:13 “You are of purer eyes than to behold evil and cannot look [inactively] upon injustice……” Your life and future does not depend on what anyone says, God is the One that has the final say, give your all to Him, love Him and serve Him wholeheartedly, and He will bring you to His own predetermined glorious end for you.
