Breacking the shackles of PROGRESS - Sequel 2

Good morning steaming Steemians, hopefully you are doing great today. I know y'all have been waiting for this second sequel. As we navigate through this sequel, as promised, we will see how is it true that, God made life for progress.
Before satan completely destroys you, he deceives you, telling you things such as; "this is how life is", "dont worry yourself", "take it like that", and so on. Actually, think about it, who is educating you to the point that you believe it? It's so amusing how you even repeat these phrases, insisting on them to the point that you get angry and even draw others to believe in what you are saying.
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
- Proverbs 4:18
This introduces to you a kind of person; "...the just...". No matter what your experience is, one thing that is clear is that the experience in the verse above, is what God wants for you and I, the moment we settle on that and start finding out with God how that experience can become our practical reality. There's is story said of one billionaire who was teaching. While he was teaching, a student objected saying what he was saying wasn't correct. The billionaire asked how come and the student said his professor told him something else. The billionaire asked him if his professor was a multi-billionaire in dollars and the student said, no. The billionaire said; "Then shut up and listen"! There are people like this student, always objecting. Better do, showing it than talking. Today, the Lord is saying, Shut up and listen, to anyone objecting Him. In fact, when it comes to God, everyone else should submit. Let's all tell our experiences to shut up and listen to what God has to say to us. Let's equally be wise to often tell ourselves to shut up and listen. Zion (the house of God) is the reference of our lives.
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
- 1 Timothy 3:15
Other than Zion, no where else can we find the truth. The earlier we get convinced by this, the sooner we walk out of frustrations. You can't argue with God and you make progress.
(1) the word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. (2) And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
- Isaiah 2:1-2
This clearly shows that, no knowledge in the world is compared to that which comes from Zion. Mountains and hills in the verse speaks of institutions of strength and dominion, philosophies that are dominating the world, human principles that seem to be working, things that have the tendency to impose themselve and command respect. They are many in this world, but it shall come to pass in the last days that "...the mountain of the lords house will be established on the top of all other mountains, on the highest mountain, it will be a governing force, their principles shall be a reference and all nations shall flow unto it." Understanding this, will make us command the attention of the world. We aren't meant to be at the bottom but at the top. We shouldn't just confess, but we know that that's what is written in the Bible. Remember, when satan was tempting Jesus, he said... and Jesus also said... . If you don't have or know what God has said in any circumstance you face, satan will convince you saying; "This life is up and down, sometimes you are at the top and sometimes you are at the bottom", and you will just accept because you are looking at the other mountains as your reference. If we intentionally daily declare; "I belong to this highest mountain, and the nations are flowing to me", this will pull them to your business, career etc.
Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
- Isaiah 2:3
You will notice that the few that were drawn are going to talk about you. Publicity is easy when we operate with a Zion mindset. God has made a system to automatically announce His children. The verse says that they are the ones who will go and announce us.
- For instance, You will do someones hair, repair someones car and they will go and tell others. It says "...many people shall go...".
- To announce you, the verse says "...come let's go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob..." That's exactly where you belong.
- Why will they come? "...and he will teach us of his ways..." . Because their ways have failed them, because your ways are most outstanding, your ways command the greatest results.
If you are in Zion and you don't have Zion principles, you will be melted by the world. It is the teachings of Zion that distinguishes you(us). Your life will not change just because you are going to church. Only the teachings and the mysteries of Zion can do that. Those people will be drawn to you because they want to be taught, why, because everything is failing for then and you are outstanding. You will find yourself being outstanding commanding results at work and that will be you, dominating worldly mountains, progressing. The quality of your work will grant you audience. When you put what you know at work and light shows, they will come; "...and all nations shall flow onto him...".
Thank you all, for your patience and for reading through.
