Transforming Zeroes into Heroes

UV3240/10000 Transforming Zeroes into Heroes
I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the renewed heavens and lay the foundations of the renewed earth, and to say to Zion( Jerusalem) , “ You are My people.”
Isaiah 51 v 16


The Lord puts words in our mouths according to the situation and He keeps us under His protective hand. He uses us to establish His kingdom on Earth. The earth when viewed from outer space appears as a tiny white dot against the infinitude of stars and heavenly bodies to prove the insignificance of human life that is unrelated or unconnected with the Lord God. We become significant only when we are in a personal relationship with the Lord. He uses us to lay afresh the foundations of wisdom of the Earth and of the kingdom of God. He affirms us by saying to us that we are His people. He adopts us through His first born, Jesus and pours on us the Spirit of adoption who enables us to call Him, “Abba, Father.” To be called His people, the people of God, His beloved is the greatest privilege, honour, blessing we can ever receive. God’s grace through Christ enables us to ace our lives. He will undertake for us, He will establish us in the right orbit as He has established the various heavenly bodies. His gravitational pull will keep us revolving around Him so that we neither fall like a meteor nor become a black hole so absorbed only in our own happiness, or a shooting star or comet that shines briefly and quickly dies. Instead of being a zero indicating insignificant in the whole scheme of creation, we become heroes or significant in the eyes of God. We will be a signboard of Jesus pointing all glory to the Lord and all people to the Way, the Truth and the Life eternal. We will simultaneously be the message, live the message and be a messenger from God. Our beginning and end lie with God while what lies in the middle is our responsibility.

We need to live and move and speak as if we obtain everything from our Heavenly Father. He is the one who shields us with His hand of favour upon us. He gives us wisdom to take the right decisions. As someone once said, with His help we can “positivise, prioritise and prayerise” everything in our lives. We do not express ourselves unless He puts words in our mouths. We invite the Holy Spirit to continually renew our minds in Christ. We are to be prepared by Him to be citizens of heaven, of the New Jerusalem.

Jesus is the Lion of Zion or the ruler of the kingdom of God. The enemy is described as the “roaring lion” who appears menacing but the Lion of Zion accomplishes His will quietly and gracefully, without much ado. Our submission to Jesus is out of love and unlike with other rulers – not with fear. As a sign of our submission, our obedience and our discipline, we should hold His word in our hearts and mouths. His word becomes the new sword or weapon in our mouths to deny the enemy victory and to claim victory for ourselves. This is the reason the human tongue is described a the source of life and death- we are to proclaim death for the forces of death and proclaim life for the forces of the new life.
