55. Kingship
Know that God Almighty wants to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond what you could even ask or think. He can take you further, faster than you could ever dream. God can speed things up on your behalf. Because you honor and trust Him, things that should have taken you a lifetime to accomplish will only take you a fraction of the time. This is the kind of God we serve. Yes, as He said in holy Qur’an,
“Anyone who puts his trust in God, then He suffices him. God’s commands will be done”. (Qur’an; 65:3)1
We see this all through the Qur’an. In just one day, David went from a shepherd boy to the one who led the Israelite army to victory.
“David killed Goliath, and God gave him the kingship and the wisdom and taught him what He wished”. (Qur’an; 2:251)2
Saul was a poor man, but God chose him over the Israelite as a king. God took him further, faster.
“And their prophet said to them: God Has sent Saul to you as a king. They said, “How can he have the kingship when we are more deserving than him, and he has not been given an abundance of wealth?” He said, “God has chosen him over you and increased him in knowledge and stature. God gives His kingship to whom He chooses; and God is Encompassing, Knowledgeable”. (Qur’an; 2:247)3
Remember, the thoughts you think and the words you say are prophesying your future. If you want to see a shift occur in your life, you have to get in agreement with God and say, “Yes, God, this is for me. I thank You that I am coming into my destiny sooner than I imagined”.
