“And now my head will be lifted up higher than my
haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his
tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.”
Bible in Basic English- Psalm 27:6
“And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine
enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of
joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.” KJV- Psalm 27:6
God is a righteous God. He lifts up one person and
puts down another. He enjoys raising His Children. When God decides to bless
you or visit you, nobody can stop Him. God wants to showcase you in the midst
of your foes. God can raise you up. It does not matter how long you have been
despised or neglected, God will visit you. God will lift you up against all
oppositions. No matter how deep you are in a pit or mess, no matter the position
of that strong man hindering your promotion at your work place. God will change
your status.
One key to enjoying God’s promotion in the midst of
evil people is to carry His presence. When He is with you no amount of obstacle
can withstand His presence. I have observed that you don’t have to do anything
wrong before people hate you. You don’t have to be wrong before you are accused
of wrongdoing. You can be hated for no reason. Joseph’s brothers hated him just
because his father loved him and bought him a nice clothe (Gen 37:4). You can
be hated for your beauty. You can be hated for looking nice. A colleague at
work can hate you because of your diligence and begin to plan against you.
Joseph had a dream and told his brothers and he was hated the more (Gen 37:5).
You can be hated for your vision, comportment, attitude or lifestyle. He was
just being himself but he was hated.
Most times if you are living right like Joseph, you
will have enemies. However, the presence of enemies around you is an opportunity
for your rising in life. No matter the conspiracy, God will set you apart for
good. He lifted the head of David and Joseph in the midst of their enemies. He
will lift you up. To receive more victories and deliverance in the midst of
your enemies (within and without) learn to always be joyful, rejoice in your
testimonies and sing praises to the lord. When you spend time with God, obey
Him and live for Him, you will keep rising until you get to your place in
destiny. Rejoice in the Spirit for God will anoint your head, He will refresh
you in the midst of your enemies. Never be afraid of your enemies and wicked
people only fear God. (Psalm 27:1, Luke 12:4-5)
