LOOK BEYOND IT
Bible Text: 2 Kings 4:16-37 (26)
Life may be full of trials and fear of tomorrow. Our nations are endowed with resources but people still live in abject poverty. Most pathetic is the level of insecurity and increased rate of unemployment. However, today God is saying: Dear Child, “Don’t be moved by those circumstances; I will help you! (Isaiah 41:10-13). In today’s reading, the Shunammite woman having lost her son was so courageous that when asked about the child, she would say, ‘It is well’. Because, she placed her focus farther than her travails until her son was revived. Similarly, in 1 Samuel 17:32-58, little David looked beyond the imminent danger to challenge and defeat Goliath. Hmm…The grace to confront and conquer, receive it, in Jesus’ name!
In 1861, Abraham Lincoln became the 16th President of America at age 52 having been contesting since he was 27. He continuously ignored his electoral failures until he got to the White House and even after decades he is regarded as the father of democracy. Come to think of it! What if he had quit? Would he have gotten into the book of history? Eh! That’s why your present condition wouldn’t matter in years to come, if you don’t give up (Job 14:7-9). Because, “testimonies are born out of tests”. Beloved, refuse to be distracted by your age, status, financial, career and marital issues. You can still finish well if you’ll focus on the end prize; for your glory is just too near to quit. Hold on and be Born Again! (Isaiah 59:1-2).
PRAYER
- Thank God for life, providence and for a favoured week.
- Decree Isaiah 60:1-3 and Numbers 14:28. Then, begin to speak to God’s hearing. He will answer you! (Jeremiah 33:3)
- Lord! Cause me to rise above every challenges and make me a solution to my generation!
“If you bow to that challenge, you are a coward.” (Proverbs 24:10)
