Living on the Mountain Top II

Saturday 7 April
READ: Mark 9:2-7
MORE LESSON: John 14:12-15

God places us on the mountain top so that we can show forth the excellency of His glory; we are His ambassadors. If you must live as an ambassador and representative of the Kingdom on the face of the earth, the only place that is convenient and correct for you is the mountain top and only privileged people are taken there. The Master Jesus had 12 disciples and only three were taken along to the Mount of Transfiguration.
The experience on the mountain top is never the same as the one in the valley. This is because the higher you go the cooler it becomes; God releases a fresh breeze. The eagles are on the top of the mountain and it is time for us to locate ourselves correctly. Eagles should stop having a nice time with chickens on the ground. Flap your wings and fly. There is strength inside you to mount high as an eagle, …they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint: Isa. 40:31.
God is expecting us to go up and not remain on the ground. We are the ones who give direction to the world, and other people are supposed to look up to find us. It is not enough to be a light, this light must be set on a hill top; that is, higher height. Higher because for light to break over darkness it must be lit upon a hill. That a double ability.
In John 14:12, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Don't run down anyone because he is doing better than you; get out and do your own. Every eagle is endowed with a wing, so spread out your own and soar. Jesus said we can do better but no one has hit his standard till today. We have a long way to go. Everyone satisfied with mundane things needs to change his mind-set. Many of us have not even hit the target of the Old Testament prophets. We are not expected to be complainers anymore, but testifiers.
The plan of God is a greater height, so I want you to get out of your little mentality and be challenged to a greater height. Make up your mind to compare yourself with the Master Jesus and not be satisfied until you hit His standard. Say to yourself, “No matter how far I've gone, I see a higher height ahead of me, in Jesus’ name”.
