Topic: A Great Change
Text: I Samuel 2:1-10

There are times in life when you need a change of location in order to experience a breather. A change of location may be what you need in order to step into your miracle. You may need to break new grounds if you must experience professional fulfillment. There are times when some people have experiences professional fulfillment. There are times when some people have experienced the greatest breakthroughs by moving into a new environment, or accepting a new challenge.

You may ask, “How can I change my location? With God’s help, it is possible for you to change your location. It is possible for God to take someone from the dunghill and put him or her on a throne. I Samuel 2:7-8 says: “The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s and he hath set the world upon them,” I prefer the throne of the dunghill. It is time to change location from the dunghill to the throne.

In I Samuel 16:11-12 David was in the jungle looking after the sheep when, one day, God came for him and he had a change of location. It was dramatic. His father never thought he could become a king. He was ordained a king and God worked it out for the reigning king to invite him to the palace, without knowing that he was inviting his successor. In Exodus 3:1-12, the Bible tells us the story of Moses. The Bible tells us that he was at the backside of the desert, a forgotten 40-year-old fugitive. Everybody had written him off, even he himself. The Almighty God picked him up from there and changed his location; he became a leader of a nation. In I Kings 18:17-20, for three and a half years, Elijah was running from Ahab; God changed his situation and he became the commander of an army.

In Psalms 113:7-9, the Bible says, “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill, that he may set him with princes, even with princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.” The Almighty God is able to change your location if you allow Him.

He can take you from the congregation of the dead and put you in the Church of the-born. He can take you from the society of ‘dogs’ (Matthew 15:21-26) and transfer you to the fellowship of sons (John 1:11-12).
