The Zeal Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Isaiah 9:7 (KJV); Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

God orders and directs certain things in our lives by reason of His zeal towards us because He seeks to establish His eternal purpose.

Indeed, there is a place where we submit to God by obedience to the truth that He may work in us both to will and to do according to His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).

However, there is also a place where His zeal performs whatsoever happens in our lives.

These are the things that are bigger than our abilities; things we could never achieve by our own labour.

Take the example of Isaac the Patriarch. When he purposed in his heart to bless His son Esau, God, because of eternal purpose could not let this happen (Romans 9:11-13).

He ensured that Rebecca heard it, that she prepared venison and asked Jacob to pose as his brother Esau (Genesis 1:1-29).

Jacob was the elect of God and no amount of human will could stand in the way of his blessing.

By this same zeal, He orders your footsteps, increases your ministry, establishes your business and brings peace to your marriage and family. The zeal of the Lord is at work in your life. Hallelujah!

PRAYER: Gracious Father, I thank you for this Word. It is working in my life. I thank you because you order my every footstep, thought and meditation. You establish your purpose in my life because of your great zeal toward me. I rest in knowing that you perfect that which concerns me. I live a life of purpose. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
