Memorise:
Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone therefore with shoutings,
crying, Grace, unto it. Zechariah 4:7
Read: Zechariah 4:7-11, (KJV)
7 Who
art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For
who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and
shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they
are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then
answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the
right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

You
must never allow anything to hinder you from becoming what God wants
you to become. Don’t give in to the lies and fear that the devil is
sending against you. In 1981, before I became 40 years old, I had been
General Overseer for just a few months. One day, I looked at myself in
the mirror and I saw grey hair all over my head. We had many problems in
the
church then. The Lord said I was carrying a burden that was not mine and
I responded by saying that I was carrying the burdens related to the
church. He said the church belonged to Him and that He could take care
of it. He said He just made me the General Overseer as a front so that
people will see a visible representative. I relaxed henceforth, and all
my hair became black again.
There
are mountains that stand between us and the things God wants us to
achieve. These mountains could be issues that are hindering the
actualisation of our set goals. The mountain could be people who do not
see or understand what God is saying to you yet; or it could be people
who are falsely accusing you, but you can be sure that God will always
reduce all your mountains into plains. There are certain burdens and
problems that are too big for you to carry? All you need do is to hand
them over to the Burden Bearer. In Numbers 16:1-35,
three men; Korah, Dathan and Abiram, came with the intention of
hindering the assignments that God gave to Moses. They accused him of
turning the leadership of the congregation into a family affair. They
said Aaron his brother was a priest while Miriam his sister was the
Choirmaster. In the midst of this mountain, Moses turned to God for
intervention. The Lord told Moses to stand aside and watch Him fight
against the mountains that were rising before him to hinder the work He
had committed into his hand. By the time God was through with the
mountains, they had all become plains.
When
mountains rise against you, don’t waste your time entertaining any
fear. When the Almighty God is on your side, it does not matter the
problems confronting you, testimonies will be the final result in your
favour. The Bible says inPsalms 30:5:
“Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.”
What
is that sickness hindering you? The Almighty God will be your personal
Physician. If it is poverty that wants to hinder all the great dreams
that the Almighty God has given to you, do not fear the hindrance
because He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
Are there people standing up against you? Are they persecuting you and
distracting you from that which God has designed you for? Just relax;
God who levels all mountains knows the best
