Your head shall be lifted high!

Your head shall be lifted high!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 3:3
But You, O Lord , are  a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

Jesus is the one who lifts up your head. What a gracious Lord He is! He restores dignity and honour to you. It's His will to see the head of every child of God lifted high. Glory!

Jesus, the Son of God bowed his head on the cross so that your head would be lifted high forever. *John 19:30 says, So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.* He took our curse, our sins, our shame and our failures on himself and died for us. He took everything that had ashamed us and also everything that would and could ashame us and took it on himself. He took our shame and gave us His honour. He was disgraced so we could be clothed with His grace. Think about the extent He went so we could walk with our heads held high. Our Master paid a great price to give us honour and respect, the price of His precious blood. Sin, bad habits, past, weaknesses, family problems, delays, failures, financial difficulties or some other situation or challenge may have caused you to put your head down. I have good news for you, your Lord Jesus is the one who lifts up your head. He will lift up your head and you will soar on wings of eagles. For dishonour, He will give you honour. For ashes, He will give you beauty. For sorrow, He will give you joy. *Isaiah 60:15 says, "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, So that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, A joy of many generations."*

Friend, Jesus lifts us up from the ash heap and makes us sit with His princes. This is why He came, He died and He rose again on the third day to restore dignity and honour to us so we could walk and live with our heads held high. Fix your eyes on Jesus and take authority in the name of Jesus against anything that's trying to cause you shame. This is your time to shine for Jesus is your Lord and you will never be ashamed. Glory!
