Higher Ground
You are on higher ground.
A call to a higher ground is evidence God has called you to something better.
Those in a relationship with God and walking the narrow way of faith are called to something higher.
We are called to higher ground.
John the beloved Apostle of Jesus Christ was asked to come up higher spiritually.
In rising higher he experienced, saw, and heard more. More clearly.
To be on higher ground in a spiritual sense, refers to a closer relationship with God than others or most people.
It is to be called to something better, higher, more effective, and more successful.
Higher ground has a lot to do with your calling and purpose, it is a calling to higher spiritual offices and assignments.
The Apostle Paul called it a high calling.
Higher ground refers to your positioning, where you are placed, called to, and also attain in a sense.
Higher ground is the place of right perspectives, from the higher ground you get a better view.
Higher ground is the ground of advantage, it puts you at an advantage.
In warfare, the soldiers flying in fighter jets are at an advantage over foot soldiers.
That which flies is usually faster than that which walks or runs.
An animal which is on the ground cannot catch or hunt an eagle that is flying in the air, because the eagle is more highly positioned by reason of flight.
Higher ground is our place of safety, it is our place of refuge, it is position of strength and advantage.
In Christ we are on higher ground because "we are seated with Him in heavenly places"
In Christ we are on higher ground because we are in Him at the right hand side of the Father spiritually.
In Christ we are on higher ground because of His name, "the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and they are saved"
In Christ we are on higher ground because we are "in the rock of ages" where we have elevation, and protection.
In Christ we are on higher ground because we have the Spirit, and the Spirit of Truth puts us at an advantage- "but very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you"
In Christ we are on higher ground because He lifts us up- "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name."
A major key to getting to higher ground and remaining on higher ground is to drop the weights.
A hiker who is trying to climb a mountain will do well to let go of unnecessary baggage and loads that will weigh him down as he climbs.
That is what a wise mountain climber will do, the lighter he is the better.
To get to higher ground, to achieve that feat, he must be willing to let go of whatever is stopping him.
In the same manner, things stopping us; the weights of life like the unhealthy hold of the past, sin, procrastination, fear, and low self esteem must be dropped that we may rise higher and go further.
There is a beautiful hymn titled "Higher Ground" which is also referred to by its opening line "I'm pressing on the upward way" written by Johnson Oatman Jnr in 1892.
Though its not the inspiration for this writing, it is a beautiful hymn worth meditating on.
Lord set our feet on higher ground!
Amen!
To get to higher ground is to attain, to achieve, perform an exploit, to ascend.

The Stars & The Candles
Stars are luminous celestial creations, candles are earthly luminaries too when lit.
Stars are heavenly lights while candles are earthly lights.
There are different glories, there is a glory of the heavens and a glory of the earth.
Stars light up and beautify the heavens while candles light up and beautify the earth in homes and spaces where they are lit.
We put candles on lampstands to hold the candle firmly which provides safety and dignity to the presence of the candle.
The creator is the God of heaven and earth.
Stars and candles are used as symbols in the scripture, both have been used to represent people of faith, who are the children of Abraham and followers of Christ.
Stars are also associated with angels, as angels are called stars.
The head of a church is also called a star according to the scripture.
There is a link between Jesus Christ, His holy angels, his church assembly/body as lights.
Jesus is described as walking in between seven lampstands.
These lampstands are later revealed as the seven churches (not individuals) but church body/assembly that Jesus sent letters to.
These were the churches of Asia Minor.
There are erroneous beliefs and doctrines out there that we have to be careful about regarding what the church assembly or body is and it's place in our present world.
There are is a belief that the individuals are the church once we have given our lives to the Lord.
Which is true because we are the temple of God's Spirit.
Some misuse and misapply this revelation.
While there is truth to this belief, the downside of it is that the enemy has used misguided people who are not well schooled in scriptures to run off on a tangent by discrediting the role and place of the local church assembly, they undermine the gathering of God's people.
They tell us church attendance is not necessary anymore and we can pray in our homes individually because each Christian is the church!
They downplay the role of Pastors, the role of coming together as a church body or assembly, they forget that was the example our Lord showed us by going to the temple to share fellowship regularly which we know the Savior was doing from the age of twelve at the least.
They forget the scriptures encourage us to meet and not forsake sharing fellowship as a church, more so as the day of the Lord is fast approaching, the coming of Jesus Christ to rapture His saints.
They forget the church as an assembly and body was important to Jesus Christ, they forget that He arranged leadership and structure for His church through the Holy Spirit by giving the local church her church fathers or early leaders.
Such people forget Jesus Christ Himself handpicked the Apostle Paul on the Damascus road, and used him to establish churches.
Under the guidance of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul penned letters to the churches, often times in discomfort and chains while he was in prison.
Many of those letters are part of the New testament in the Bible today.
The writing of letters to the churches by Paul the Apostle was very much like what God got John the Revelator to do on the island of Patmos.
So God cares about the local church assembly!
The assembly, fellowship, and coming together of God's people is part of His plan, will and purpose and it always will be.
Jesus walks among the seven golden lampstands, signifying to us the presence of Jesus is always in His church, His presence is among His people when they come together to call upon His Name!
There were seven stars in the hands of Jesus Christ as we are informed from the book of Revelation.
Seven is the number of Jesus and it represents perfection.
Jesus Christ perfects everything that concerns His church, as individuals and as an assembly.
Seven symbolically, informs us the church is not meant to stay down but will be resurrected, the church will not be defeated but will rise in victory, the church will not be overcome by sin or enemies but will rise in triumph.
The number seven has very important and powerful meanings to us.
Seven is the number associated with the church of Jesus Christ.
We are told from the scriptures the stars are the angels or messengers of the seven churches in Asia Minor.
Why were they in the hands of Jesus and not anywhere else or any other part of His body?
It is with the hand we deliver messages, it is with the hand we write letters, messages or teachings the Lord inspires us to scribe or document.
Our hand(s) play a crucial role in guiding, directing and pointing people in the way they should go.
The stars being in the hands of Jesus, represents those sent by the hand of Jesus, sent with a message of Jesus, sent with the Spirit of Jesus.
They are Pastors for Jesus, they are stars in Jesus's hand, helping to shepherd God's people as inspired by the Lord.
As the star of Bethlehem guided the wise men to the location of Jesus and they worshipped Him, God's human stars today guide people today to the feet of Jesus!
The are the messengers of Jesus leading a church assembly work for the Lord.
They are human angels of God, messengers of God, over a church or assembly for God.
Some will manifest as Prophets, some as Apostles, some as Teachers and some as Evangelists.
Paul the Apostle was a star in the hand of Jesus Christ!
He was called by Jesus, chosen by Jesus, commissioned by Jesus, to be an Apostle who also turned out to be one of the greatest evangelists in church history.
There is a link between the stars and the candles, just as we have similarities.
Both must shine.
Both of them must have the presence of Jesus Christ.
Both have regions they operate in.
Stars are above and are of the heaven, lampstands provide light on the earth.
Stars operate in the heaven and lampstands function on earth holding up fire, light, candles.
The stars are in the hands of the Lord.
Power is also demonstrated through the hand by lifting, carrying, executing, pushing or hitting.
The star (the messenger of Jesus Christ) must be under the hand of Jesus- His authority, covering and power.
With the star the Lord makes known and executes.
We are inscribed into the palm of His hand.
The seven stars or messengers of Asia Minor were in the hands of Jesus!
That is where I am in Christ Jesus!
The stars musts shine and the candles must shine.
The star lights up the candle with celestial knowledge- teachings, messages and communication from heaven.
It is the message of the kingdom of heaven.
While the candle remains lit by the star and continues to shine as the star continues to minister to the candle.
The star (Pastor/messenger) benefits the candle (the church assembly) while the the candle also benefits the star.
Both glorify God, both honor Jesus Christ.
The star shines through Jesus Christ.
If the star doesn't shine it is no use to the candle.
If the candle is not shinning something is wrong with the star.
The star prays for the candle and the candle prays for the star.
The Apostle Paul prayed for the churches, visited them, wrote to them and he expected the churches to pray for him
It is a heaven and earth relationship in a sense.
"Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
The star takes what is of heaven and enlightens the candle, in so doing; the candle is lit.
The star follows the leading of the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit.
In doing so, the star remains in the hands of Jesus!
The Holy Spirit takes what is of God (heaven) and reveals it to us (people of God on the earth)
There are things the Holy Spirit will tell you personally, there are things He will tell you through the scriptures, and there are things He will tell you through His servants (His stars) or any other human being.
The stars brightness is through the hands of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is also referred to as the hand of God.
We shine by the Holy Spirit, the hand of God.
The candles remains on its lamp stand and shines all over the earth.
The body of Christ must shine, the local church must shine, the sons of God (individuals) must shine.
The seven lampstands are symbolic of redemption.
The church assembly is rooted in redemption, a product of redemption.
Redemption is precious and golden in the sight of God.
Our redemption was purchased by the blood of His Son.
The church as an individual and assembly is powered in redemption.
The local church should manifest redemptive dignity.
The Lord had made a promise to Abraham that his descendants will be like the stars of heaven.
As the heavenly and earthly body and family of Jesus Christ, we shine in heaven and on earth!
"Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches"
“To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands"

Pray For World Peace
There is a lot happening in the world right now.
There has always been a lot going on in the world in one part, place and time or the other, that being said; my reasons for stating this at this time is not far fetched.
The Iran and Israel conflict is not a new conflict, there has been tension between those two nations for decades.
They have a history, which can be traced to Biblical times.
Iran is Persia in scripture.
It's the dimension the conflict has taken recently that is concerning with America tag teaming with her closest ally Israel to bomb Iran which resulted in the death of Iran's second supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The social media space is filled with all sorts of views and opinion about what has happened with some taking sides with Israel and America and some showing sympathy for Iran.
The cyber space is loaded with regular breaking news reflecting the views, the opinion, and perspectives of foreign policy experts, religious leaders, and some well informed and rather misguided journalistic views. Thanks to internet access and freedom of speech, those who are not players in the war at hand are releasing videos, articles, cartoons and all sorts of content to communicate their take.
With so many 'voices' out there, reflecting different sentiments and perspectives, its is easy to get carried away with every bit of information on this matter.
We must not lose focus of what really matters in all of this.
It is the after-effect of that attack on Iran the world should be concerned about right now, what it can potentially cause.
It is becoming obvious the year 2026 is one year we all need to brace ourselves for, it is looking like its going to be one rollercoaster of a ride!
My take regarding all of this is that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes.
The scriptures make it clear that in the latter times, before the Lord's return there will be wars and rumors of wars, with nations rising against nation. This is what is playing out.
Some people are using this war development to praise certain key players in this conflict, while others are condemning certain key figures.
It all depends on what side of the isle you are on.
People of faith, those who are mature in their spiritual walk and have good understanding should know the times we are in with these unfolding developments, is a call to prayer!
Leaders are so important and we should pray for them, especially leaders over countries..
Our being diligent to pray for our leaders in our respective countries and world leaders generally is to pray for world peace.
One wrong step from an influential leader can affect millions of people negatively.
A miscalculated step from an influential leader. can affect the globe and bring about dire consequences.
The world needs peace, that goes without saying.
While I understand the world will not have true global peace until the millennial reign of Christ, our prayers go a long way to avert evil and give us peace on a personal level and even temporary global peace.
God is merciful and he pushes back the hand of the enemy over people, communities, societies and nations.
Prayer pushes back the darkness and brings about peace where there wasn't meant to be peace.
It is so important we pray for our leaders, even the leaders of nations who are key players in the ongoing wars of Ukraine and Russia, and the America, Israel and Iran wars.
We need more peace in the world and less wars.
Lets handle our wars spiritually, hopefully not physically.
Let's pray for these wars to end and some peace to reign.
It's possible.
I understand human ego, the pride of nations, natural resources and minerals, and history are the major factors behind these wars.
When leaders put ego and pride over people, things get really messy.
It is time for a bit more empathy in politics!
While Bible prophecy cannot but playout on the world stage, we can at least do our own part, which is to pray.
Lots of people- individuals and families alike are hurting in Iran right now, we need to pray for them.
Lots of people- in America and Israel are anxious right now because their leaders have made decisions they were not consulted on but have to live with what the retaliatory effect might be.
We have to pray things do not spiral out of control.
Each of these nations in these wars have allies, and their allies will take sides as things unfold.
There are nations who will take sides with Iran and there are nations who will take sides with America and Israel.
Just as Nato/European nations are taking sides with Ukraine over the Russia and Ukraine war.
Russia has its own allies.
If these matters are not handled carefully and prayer is not made for God's intervention over these leaders and their decisions, the matters at hand can easily spiral downwards and out of control.
I pray there will be no World War 3.
When nations start taking sides and there is retaliation and a desire to be vindictive, very easily World War 3 can occur.
We need to rise up and pray.
We need to pray these leaders will put people first.
We need to pray for wisdom for these world leaders and their team of advisers.
Not prayer out of fear, anxiety or tension but prayer out of love for humanity.
Let's pray out of empathy for our fellow man.
Let's pray out of concern for the state of the world.
Let's pray out of respect for God's word that encourages us to pray for all men especially those in authority:
"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.
Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity
This is good and pleases God our Savior"
The whole purpose of prayer is to please God and get answers in prayer.

Disadvantage or Advantage?
There are times when what we think is our disadvantage turns out to be our advantage.
Life is full of such stories, stories of people whose handicap, limitations, and challenges turned out to be a blessing to them.
I love such stories, I feel they inspire hope and also motivate people to keep going.
I love success stories.
I like to see people succeed, I want people to achieve their good dreams, and I like knowing that people overcame the odds.
When what was seen as a disadvantage in a life turns out to be an advantage, in that life, that is a blessing. It is success.
It's my view that the Lord is the one who turns the disadvantage of our lives into our advantage.
Zacchaeus is an example of a man whose disadvantage became his advantage.
He was a very short man, he also wasn't liked by the public.
In the accounts of scripture, what others were fighting for, pushing for, and struggling for; he received.
Something wonderful was happening in his town, an unusual person had come to his town and Zacchaeus longed to experience Him and be part of the happening.
The miracle worker was in town- His words and wisdom, His miracles, the depth of His teaching, His authority and love made Him captivating to the people.
He was in demand, almost everyone wanted His attention.
Many would give an arm and a leg to have Him in their home and host him and His disciples to a meal.
The multitudes thronged Him, the strongest were the ones who probably got closest to Him.
The short height of Zacchaeus had probably been a disadvantage to him most of his life, that disadvantage became an issue as Jesus walked through the town of Jericho; he couldn't see Jesus!
He wasn't tall enough to even get a glimpse of the Master because he couldn't see over the crowd.
Fortunately Zacchaeus had an inspired thought, he had a good idea.
He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to get a good view of Jesus.
It was the wisest thing he could do, unknown to Zacchaeus it was an act of faith Jesus would honor. The Lord always honors our acts of faith, our effort to see Him and please Him.
It resulted in his getting Jesus's attention and Jesus dining in his home, which brought about a four fold restoration to every family Zacchaeus had ever extorted as a tax officer and salvation to Zacchaeus's family.
Zacchaeus's disadvantage became his advantage.
Blind Bartimaeus is another character whose disadvantage became his advantage.
He was born blind.
That blindness got him the miracle of a new set of eyes.
His blindness got him the attention of Jesus.
Miracles from God answer to unusual problems that are beyond men when they call upon the Master.
When we look at our disadvantages with a new set of eyes we get a new perspective.
You disadvantage becomes your advantage when you invite the Master into your matter.
Your disadvantage just might be your opportunity.
