"Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? AND HOW DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Is not this in your sight as nothing in comparison to that?  Yet now be strong, alert, and courageous, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; be strong, alert, and courageous, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, alert, and courageous, ALL YOU PEOPLE OF THE LAND, SAYS THE LORD, AND WORK! For I am with you, says the Lord of hosts. According to the promise that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit stands and abides in the midst of you; FEAR NOT.  And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of hosts." -The Greatest Love Story Ever Told 

 

Do you remember how your life looked in its greatest season?

 

God is determined to do more than that out of your lowest one.

 

Strength, encouragement and instruction come to those who work fearlessly and walk in obedience to their calling.

 

But what do you do when your life, career, business or ministry doesn't look like what God has promised?

 

RIGHT NOW, things may not look the way they used to.  Maybe your resources are diminished.  Your dreams and ideas are disheartened and seem disillusioned.  Yet God still stands in your midst with this incredible promise: 

 

"What you accomplished in your greatest season of wealth, power and prosperity, I will exceed it in this one. THE GOLD AND THE SILVER IS MINE.  As you build, I will shake the wealth and resources of the world into your hands. I will give nations (clients, consumers and souls) a desire for the dream, product, gift and ministry that is in your heart and fill your life with My splendor."

 

No matter how it looks right now, God is saying "Be strong, alert, courageous and WORK."

 

To be "strong" means, to be efficient in something; to be mighty in wealth and influence, to be strong in soul; to bear calamities and trials with fortitude and patience; To be bold or able (to do or excel in knowledge, skill, expertise or trade.)  It is to have power for something; to be firm, immovable, solid, hard or steadfast; and to grow or increase in this strength.

 

WHAT ARE YOU "STRONG" IN?

 

WHAT DO YOU HAVE POWER TO HELP OTHERS SUCCEED IN THROUGH LIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN IT YOURSELF?

 

To be "alert" means, to be circumspect, attentive, ready to give strict attention to; to be cautious, active; to take heed lest through remission and indolence (idleness or laziness) some destructive calamity suddenly overtakes you; it is to be opportune, seasonable, prepared to do something, or receive something that is coming.

 

WHAT ARE YOU CONSCIOUS OF ENOUGH TO CHANGE IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CRISIS?

 
A CRISIS IS A CRY FOR SOMETHING GREATER.
 

WHAT POSITION OR ROLE HAVE YOU PREPARED YOURSELF TO STEP INTO RIGHT NOW?

 
WHAT CRY (SPECIFIC NEED) ARE YOU RESPONDING TO IN YOUR WORKPLACE, CHURCH OR COMMUNITY?

 

To be "courageous" means:  to be daring, bold, gutsy, spirited and audacious; not to dread or shun through fear; to venture, to learn how to encourage yourself; to summon, to address, speak to, (call to, call upon), to admonish, exhort and teach.  It is to have free and fearless confidence, cheerful courage, boldness and assurance in the face of adversity and change.

 

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

 

WHAT DO YOU CONSTANTLY KEEP AVOIDING TO CHANGE OR DO IN YOUR LIFE?

 

Your life may look nothing in comparison to what you had before OR dreamed, but God stands in your midst saying, "FEAR NOT."

 

Whatever He promised or covenanted to you (or those that have been praying for you) when you had nothing to offer (in that dead end job or situation), He's going to do it.

 

What will you do when God begins to bring to pass what He promised?

 

NOW, is the time to prepare for it.

 

Every promise God makes to us flows out of a covenant.

 

That's why, one of the greatest things you can do is get God to make you a promise.  To get into covenant and partner with the Creator of the universe to touch and change lives gains you access to all of His resources and promises.

 

Today, be strong, alert, and courageous.

 

God is looking out for you more than you are looking out for yourself.

 

He announces the Word, but great is the company of people who BOLDLY PROCLAIM IT.
