Proverbs 22:29 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.” (Proverbs 22:29 NKJV)

We are designed to do great things that can touch many, even to serve kings. God built that in us when He made us! If ever there are mediocre people who stand before unknown people (i.e. in the realm of wickedness), they are not performing in their full ability and capability. They are those that allow the father of lies to deceive them to think they are good for nothing. Sadly, many are deceived. Like what's going in our country, where there is supposed to be no poor. Our Capitalist System empowers us all with freedom to excel and harness our full potential. It is unfortunate to see mediocrity celebrated. Our system has been unfortunately corrupted by some ungodly politicians who hijacked it. Below standard effort is fanned by declaration and acceptance of poverty - affirmed by promises and fork out of handouts which lead people to think they are indeed poor. Many are now stripped of the freedom to accomplish their God-given ability to excel, for the option of dependence on legalized alms.

But, that is not the truth. We, all of God's creation, are rich with all potentialities to be the best and for the best of what we can be. We just have to believe and put it to use - do things God's way. Not man's way. Not politician's way. When we do things God's way, we manifest the best in us and stand before kings like Joseph, and Mordecai, and Daniel. The Scriptures tell us of Joseph: "His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.” (Genesis 39:3, 4 ESV)

Joseph excelled in what he did and was made ruler of all Egypt (Genesis 41:41). It is written: "Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.” (Genesis 41:46 NASB)

Like Joseph, in Christ Jesus by grace through faith in Him, we shall stand before the King of Kings, our Master, as He declares: ..., ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ (Matthew 25:23b ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
