He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the
beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and
to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars
of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world
upon them (1 Samuel 2:8).
There’s no disadvantage for the child of God. Believe
it. It makes no difference how you were born, who
your parents are, your environment, or historical background;
being born again, your life is ordained by God to go only in
the direction of success. You may have been born into an
extremely poor family; it doesn’t mean anything! You’re the
seed of Abraham. Therefore, your wealth has nothing to do
with your biological parents or family tree.
There’s no rule or law that states that those that were
born in the palace will do better in life than those born in a
derelict hamlet in some poor countryside. Actually, the worse
the circumstances of your birth, the greater the potentials of
your testimony! So, never have a reason to be ashamed of the
circumstances of your birth, family background, or of where
you live. Rather, make up your mind you’re going to be very
successful, and be the answer to the cry of others. Be the one
to change the status quo.
If you’re a young person from a poor home, don’t
be ashamed of your parents or the home from where you
came! Stay there, and walk your way upwards! Just because
your neighbour’s house is finer than yours, doesn’t mean
you should covet their homes such that when you’re asked,
“Where’s your house?” You point to your neighbour’s instead
of your parents’ house. Be glad about where you’re from.
Trust Him With Your Life

Thank God for it! That’s where God located you; it’s part of
your glory.
Remember, God is the One who raises the poor out of
the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them
among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory.
Trust Him to make your life glorious. Trust Him to empower
you to be a blesser and lifter of others. There’s no limitation
for you, if you’d only trust the Lord with your life.
PRAYER
Blessed Lord, I’m so grateful to
you, for your loving-kindness!
You’ve set my feet upon a rock,
making my footsteps firm. Before
I was born, you knew me, and
predestined me for the life of
greatness. By your Word, and by
your Spirit, I’m making progress
with giant strides, bearing fruits
unto righteousness, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
