Galatians 6:9  ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

’DAILY READING       Luke 22:39-71; Genesis 40; Psalm 31

On May 29, 1953 Edmund Hillary became the first man ever to reach the top of mount Everest. On getting there, one of the first things he did was to place a cross on what was considered the roof of the world. It was his way of acknowledging God’s help and sovereignty. He realized he had not made it there by his own strength but by the grace of God. The story of Edmund Hillary’s success is an example of pushing till you reach your summit. His first major climb, at age 20, was Mount Olivier in the New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Consequently he continued scaling other mountains such as the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Despite these successes, he didn’t rest on his oars, but continued pushing forward, with the aim of scaling the world’s highest mountain. His past experiences gave him the credentials to join the ninth British expedition to Everest in 1953.  At that time, nobody has ever scaled mount Everest. During this expedition, Hillary continued to push himself to lead the climb. His efforts and stamina set him apart as the team struggled up to higher elevations. And eventually on  May 29, 1953 Edmund Hillary became the first man ever to reach the top of mount Everest.

Galatians 6:9 says ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’

Despite his previous successes in mountain climbing, Edmund did not rest, but kept pushing until he reached the summit.  The truth is that no matter how great the things we think we may have achieved, God always has greater victories in store. When prophet Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal on mount Carmel, he attained a height and thought he was done, but the angel told him ‘arise and eat, for you still have a great journey to make’

This is the word for us today. There is a greater and better journey ahead. Perhaps you have made some progress this year, but this is not at all God’s ultimate. You have not reached your destination yet, where you are is only a bus stop. The rest of the year is the best of the year, because better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof.

Today is the first day of October, which marks the beginning of the last three months of the year. It was within three months that God changed the story of Obededom. In 2 Samuel 6:10-12, David carried aside the ark of The Lord into the house of Obededom. And within three months God had blessed Obededom, and all his household amazingly. Likewise, in these last three months God is about to do something amazing. Just like the 3 months that changed the story of Obededom, your story is about to change drastically. Bringing the ark of The lord into your house, means connecting to active service in God’s kingdom. As you take your kingdom service to a new level in these last three months, God will indeed surprise you. Before the ark came to the house of Obededom, there was no mention of his name anywhere in the Bible. But after the ark came,  his name began to feature in the scriptures. Perhaps you have been in obscurity, but in the next three months as you serve God acceptably, like never before, you are coming into the limelight. The anointing to finish well and strong will come upon you. Just as God gave Obededom a sudden change of story, you are about to experience yours. Everything will turn around and God will be glorified in your life in Jesus Name.

PRAYER:  Lord please grant me the grace to connect to kingdom service like never before, help me to serve You with all my heart. Thank You Lord, for the great and mighty things You are doing in my life in Jesus Name. .
