YOU WILL RISE AGAIN!
Proverbs 24:16 – For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. (KJV)
Read: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10; John 5:1-9
There was a brother for whom no one, including his mother, expected anything tangible from his life. This is because she gave birth to the boy in sadness and gave him a contrary name (Jabez). However, it was recorded that this brother refused to dismiss himself but prayed to God, and his story changed. Another impotent man had been at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years because he had nobody to assist him. Yet he never gave up, so one day he had an encounter with Jesus, and that settled the matter.
What is your own story? Like the man at the pool in Bethesda, it might be that you come from a poor background and couldn’t get the connections for jobs and contracts. You have tasted several relationships, all to no avail. There may also be people in Jabez’s category who, according to society, add no value; therefore, they are contemplating their lives. Stop! There is a word for you from God, and it is that you should “not give up!” Look beyond the present condition, because it’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Keep going in prayer and faith; there will be light at the end of your tunnel.
Beloved, as today’s Bible reading assures, you will rise again if you wait on the Lord! Perhaps you have yet to accept Christ, or if you need to rededicate yourself to Him, do it now. The Saviour is calling today. Accept Him and let Him resurrect your dreams into reality.
PRAYER
Hymn: Jesus Saves — Priscilla J. Owens (1882)
1. Thank God for the good and the bad times.
2. Father, give me the grace to never give up or look down on myself or my circumstances.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, please relocate me from the valley of shame and dryness to the mountaintop!
2. Pray for the discouraged and broken-hearted in the community and Church.
3. Spend quality time to praise God. He will arise for your sake!
AGAINST ALL ODDS, YOU SHALL EXCEL!
