Rom 14:17 [After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Neh 1:11 O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere {and} fear Your name (Your nature and attributes); and prosper, I pray You, Your servant this day and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was cupbearer to the king.
As a Mouth piece of God We sometimes forget that we are servants and that we have a MISSION and the Mission of the HOUR is to serve the CUP to the KING and then unto people. To actually see the RUINS in the Body and tear down that needs to come down and re-build....
The CUPBEARER serves it PERSONALLY He does not pass it off to someone else He walks in obedience and take the CUP HIS SELF....
Nehemiah ended his petition with HIS position...I had to ask God why? This is when I began to understand any one WALKING in divine obedience and the calling of God SHOULD all be CUPBEARERS.....Stand beside the KING serving wine and hearing the NEXT move....When the King comes to sup I as a servant need to pour HIS wine and then SERVE that to His people....What is God drinking at this moment...What MOOD is God in.....What does He want His people to serve out, for this moment...
We are talking about this NEW wine...THIS POWERFUL ANOINTING of greatness but some one have to serve the CUP....All this talking about it is nice but when is someone going to end their Petition with their POSITION.....When it is time to be by God we do not want to stand there We want to sit at the TABLE instead of serving HIM the WINE..YAAAAA!!!! Oh That was Good to me!!! We need to know when to sit and eat and when to stand and serve...We have it all wrong we want to stand in the presence of our enemies WHEN we should SIT and eat....
Ps 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
Then we want to eat when the saints are at the table when we should be serving.....We do not want to serve the saints we want them to see us as table partakers....We want to eat with the Saints when it is time to STAND by the KING....It is time to serve the saints the NEW WINE....
How many Nehemiah(s) out there willing to serve the CUP and then prayer about the desolate lands...Willing to see the HOUSE OF GOD out side of YOUR OWN HOUSE....Because YOUR house is find that does not mean the WHOLE Body is FIND......We need to understand the CUP in the Old and NEW TESTAMENT....
1 Cor 10:21 You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the demons' cup. You cannot partake of the Lord's table and the demons' table.
Some many look at this to be BAD. No God Words is always GOOD. We serve a JUST God not a FAIR one. He is HOLY and HOLDS to HIS own WORD. His ways is not like ours....
Jer 25:15 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
Jer 25:16 They shall drink and reel to and fro and be crazed because of the sword that I will send among them.
Jer 25:17 Then I [Jeremiah] took the cup from the Lord's hand and made all the nations drink it to whom the Lord had sent me: [that is,]
Jer 25:18 Jerusalem and the cities of Judah [being most guilty because their privileges were greatest], its kings and princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is to this day;
Okay I feel you "OH LORD another judgment message"..Please do not JUDGE where God is taking us...Do not say the wine is not for you and you have not yet sipped it...God is saying some great things in this hour and you have to taste the NEW wine that the Cupbearer is serving...BEHOLD I serve YOU NEW WINE...I am willing to bear the CUP for His people YOU sit and eat while I serve....
