Finding Your CyrusIsampula
The Bible says that the Lord Himself stirred up Cyrus’ spirit to the point that He was so moved to comply, that he made sure to put his declaration in writing for even the ones who will come after him to see what he has declared and intentionally established. A pagan king, God calls “His anointed,” and He begins to brag on Him. He lets it be known that He is personally holding Cyrus’ right hand, and that His purpose is for him to be victorious. God declares that Cyrus will be the recipient of countless treasures for the sake of His people, EVEN THOUGH Cyrus does not really know Him! Can you imagine, for the sake of Gods people, God will take someone who may not have the spiritual background, but has the authority to decree and delegate things for your sake?
Who is your Cyrus? Your Cyrus is the one that God will stir up just to make sure that the prophecies spoken over you, comes to pass. Your Cyrus is the one who has the authority to delegate a taskforce to assist you while you accomplish the work of the Kingdom. It doesn’t matter how heavy the task is, there is a Cyrus who is anointed to bear that weight with ease. Even when Jesus had to carry the cross, Simon the Cyrene assisted Him. Some of us feel like we are being crushed by the assignment that God has on our lives, but there is a Cyrus who has been prepared to handle the load.
