You on the scale of the Almighty

Text: Daniel Chapter 5:18-28

Dan 5:24-28- Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

*Everybody would definitely have to stand on the scale of the Almighty. Once you stand on the scale and you are found wanting it means that you have fallen short of God’s assignment and desire for your life.

There are certain things measured on the scale of the Almighty

1.    Destiny- God measures our destiny to ascertain whether we have fulfilled the assignments he has given us.

2.  Spiritual life- God measures our spiritual life on his scale to ascertain whether we are spiritually hot or cold. God’s measures how well we have abided by the spiritual instructions that God has given us.

Factors that can make you found wanting on the scale

·         Many people always pursue their personal agenda and leave out  God’s agenda

·         Many people have been instructed by God to pick up an assignment in his house but they have failed to do so

·         God has instructed some people to start midnight prayers but they have failed to do so.

·         God has called some people to His service but they have dodged the call of God.

·         God has instructed some people to feed the homeless but they have failed to do so.

·         God has called some people to be intercessors but they have failed to pick up the call.

·         God has called some people to many spiritual assignments have they have neglected it

*It is important to note that once you put are on the scale of the Almighty and you are found not to bear fruit, you shall be cut down

Luke 13:9- And if it bears fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

The Way out

-Make a list of the assignments that God has given you.

-Go back to the basic instructions given in the place of quiet time

-Ask God for grace and start implementing the assignments that God has given you. By so doing you would meet up with God’s standard for your spiritual life and destiny.
