Your Enemy Won't Be on Top Forever
When you are use to being average or at the bottom in just about everything you do, you get to see the successful around you in a way that is different from one who already has more than enough. It's as if God puts 3D spiritual glasses over your eyes and you can see how Satan uses people to kick you when you are down. Those at the top, have little time or money, so they say, to help you climb to the top. Help is always just enough, but never more than enough for the selfish, prideful, and ignorant.
Over the years, I have met many people who were at the top of their games (industries) living in some fantasy world in their minds, be brought back to reality! You see, when you live in a world created to look beautiful, nice and wonderful because it has a dollar sign attached to it or because a "name" in a certain industry told you that it is so, you just might become a bit prideful and say mean things to people around you when they speak truth as God leads.
"What do you know, you only make...I pay all the bills, what do you have to give...you think you are so smart...well what did God tell you about...?"
The rebellious, arrogant fool is more concerned about shooting down the messengers of God, rather than facing a sure reality that he or she will fall one day with all his or her evil-speaking and deceptive ways. Like Humpty, he sat on the wall, and all the "great, nice" people who was supposedly there to assist him, couldn't. Oh they will try, but what God breaks up, puts down, or separates, He has to be the one to restore! We must avoid Satan's trappings to want the things of others especially those who are under a curse!
Most people reach the top because of a love for money. Some would love to sugarcoat the truth and even blatantly deny it, but their lives are turned upside down--not because of what the saved think they might know about the person's character, but usually because this "star," if you will, has violated God's truth--the Christian is not supposed to love money! Because why? It is the root of all evil! The broke people, the generous associates, the critics of money, and the jealous folks all like to gather around individuals when money is being dispensed. They don't love the individual giving the money, they love the money! Yet, when it is all gone, the one who once bragged and talked of having it all is now like the rest of the world. In a moment's notice, the enemy of God is humbled when he has nothing to talk about.
If this message, hits home to some of you, it is because someone, or maybe even you, who believes in Christ allowed being at the top to affect your relationship with the one true God. So often Christians everywhere bring God for the ride of their lives and then when they reach the top, they don't know God, the church, his Bible, or the people around them that are being used by God. Those that have fallen from grace, lose favor with God and it takes a long time to get back right with Him.
Intercede if you are one who this writing doesn't describe for those who permitted success to take a front seat in their lives while God sat in the back. Pray for brothers and sisters struggling with a rebellious heart, those who are reprobate, and backsliders. Ask that God will have mercy on them, bring peace to their minds, body and spirits so that they can hear from the Lord. May God move on the hearts of men and women to do what's right for the Kingdom rather than focus on selfish gain.
To God be the glory!
