YOUR GARMENT AND YOUR ASSIGNMENT

SCRIPTURE: “And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel” – Zechariah: 1:1,3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The success of your assignment is connected to the state of your garment.

 A garment can be defined as an article of clothing, a coat, a gown, etc. for outer covering or outward appearance. They are for the covering of one’s physical appearance.

Garments also have spiritual connotations. The meaning is: just as there are bodily garments, there are also spiritual garments. The condition of your spirit determines the spiritual garment you wear per time – be it a filthy garment or a holy garment.

According to our anchor Scripture above, Joshua, the high priest, called of God, highly respected, heavily anointed of God, stood ministering before God, but had his assignment resisted by satan because of the filthy garment he wore. The truth is, satan is highly interested in your assignment; and your garment can either assist him into your assignment or keep him off your assignment. Thus, the success of your assignment is connected to the state of your garment.  

The frightening thing is, everyone may have looked at Joshua as a holy and great man of God, yet satan ministered alongside with him as he ministered to God. What a tragedy!

Beloved, it is not how you appear before people that matters, but how you appear before God. Never struggle for human approval, struggle for Divine approval and invest your time and energy finding out what God thinks about you. That is what determines the outcome of your assignment in time and in eternity!

Remember this: The success of your assignment is connected to the state of your garment.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Do a sincere and thorough examination of your spirit to check the garment you are wearing – filthy or holy garment.
2. Determine to do away with any character trait that brings filth to your garment and assignment.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, I make demands on Your mercy and forgiveness for any character I exhibited in the past that has defiled my spiritual garment. I make demands on the cleansing power in the Blood of Jesus for the cleansing of my spiritual garment today, in Jesus’ Name.
