Article 5: The Lizard: Appropriating the Place of the King

“The lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.” (Proverbs 30:28, ESV)

Devotional:  

The lizard is small and vulnerable, yet it finds its way into the palace. This is the secret of appropriation – taking hold of what God has given by faith. Ephesians 3:1-12 tells us we are “blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”

We must not wait passively, but reach out and take hold of God’s promises. “Where there is no need, there is no anointing.” Every locked door is an invitation to push through by faith.

Appropriate what God has set before you. Take hold of His Word, His promises, and His presence.

Prayer: 

Father, thank You for every blessing in Christ. Give me the courage to take hold of Your promises and to walk by faith, even when I face obstacles. Amen.
