Proverbs 25:25
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end.    Isaiah 9:7


Beloved ,

I am praying that the Lord help you with the help only He can give And the relief only He can bring.   I ask that today He give an understanding to things that  have not been previously clearly understood.   Many things that you go through  are preparation for your future.

God knew that King David Was going to experience the rejection of his family and of King Saul and his Friends.   He fought many battles, but his God gave him success.  In those battles, He   was preparing him so he would be able to have good character in the midst of those battles.

He killed a lion, then a bear, then a giant.  He then dealt with rejection from King Saul and Saul's  attempts to take his life.   David and his men experienced rejection by the fool Nabal.  David’s wife Michal rejected and despised him in her heart when she saw him dance before the Lord.  She brought a low to what could have been an even greater event in David’s life. She could have shared in a wonderful blessing, but  wound up barren.

Joseph spent years in preparation for what was to come.  God uses our past and present to make us stronger and better wiser and more understanding for the future so that we  can become a blessing to others in what they  are going through.   It is all to make us better not bitter.

I think rejection is much easier to deal with now than it was in those early years,  as we take example of those who suffered rejection but at the end when they trusted in God they did exploits.   Now,  I’m not yet perfect.   But am much better than what I was!  Distress is the stimulant that makes us grow.

God has prepared a group of soldiers that He kept separated in the wilderness.   They lived in spiritual dens and caves prepared for just such a time as this.  Perhaps they were not quite fit in the community, and  that is why they lived in the wilderness in caves.  But thank God that even in that time when David was cut off from his family members and friends living lonely in the cave of Adullam,  he was still the hope of Isreal and 400 hopeless men found him there  for help including his family members.

1 David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 2 And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.(1Sam 22:1-2)“ 

"The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”

Wait upon the Lord .    In the future people will not believe whether you're the one they used to see.

His glory will be shining on your face,and you will become the hope to hopeless and joy to those who are crying.   Just wait upon the Lord.   David and his men loved the Lord with their whole hearts, and all they wanted to do was serve Him.    They were not out to make a name for themselves or to fulfill some personnel agenda.   They  were hidden there to be tranformed and become His precious vessels He used to tranform their own generation.

Beloved you're part of the body of Christ,  but some have caused the Lord shame…but He has put in you His Spirit which cries ABBA FATHER, that all you are doing is for Him not you.   You are seperated and rejected for a little while,  but the day is coming soon when you shall come out in glory.

   Joseph from the Prison, he became the Governor of Egypt,
Moses from very deep in the bush, he became the saviour of the Israelites.
Daniel from the lions den, his God was worshipped in the all Kingdom,
Jesus from the pain and shameful death of the cross, He was given the name above all names.

You shall also come out of that and you will become the hope of many who are hopeless.   I repeat it.   John the Baptist was also separated in the wilderness,  hidden away until his time.  All the  people started finding him there, and he became the answer to many questions which they had in life.   So it is very important, dear,  some times to be in the closed place where no one can see you but only God because it prepares you for something very great in your life.

I felt that rejection and loneliness since I was 8yrs when my Mom divorced  my Dad and left us in hands of Stepmothers.   They mistreated me with an iron hand.  I regreted  that I was even  born.  Every word they could speak about me was that "You're foolish, stupid, what will you do for yours elf silly boy?"  Nothing good they could see within me,  hahahaha!!!   Glory be to God for what I am now!  I am glad that now I am the hope to my Stepmother who used to call me stupid.  She calls me all the time thanking me for helping her and her children  Arise, beloved,  and put on your strength again because within you the river of life flows reaching all those who used to despise you.  You shall use the seed of God’s word and do great exploits. Believe me,  beloved,  that the hidden ones have been saved for a greater glory!  There is a reason for the things you go through and there will be answers to all your questions in the future.

  The price paid in preparation is nothing in comparison to your harvest and blessing!!!   Be encouraged with that message beloved.
