TURNED TO GOOD

-

Genesis 12:13,16,20

So please tell them you are my sister. Then they will spare my life and treat me well because of their interest in you.”

Then Pharaoh gave Abram many gifts because of her—sheep, goats, cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.

Pharaoh ordered some of his men to escort them, and he sent Abram out of the country, along with his wife and all his possessions.


Famine drove Abram out of Canaan to Egypt to dwell as a foreigner. 


Listen, that you got to that destination, does not mean there will be no challenges. It is only when we arrive in the eternal destination that all difficulties are deleted. Selah


That you got that admission and started studying is a success, that does not mean you will not face some hurdles.


That you graduated and celebrated does not mean you will not face challenges in getting a job or starting a business.


The search for a life partner, may make you desperate or worried.


When you eventually get married challenges will arise, it could even be delay in childbirth, financial constraints or inlaw conflicts.


When you get that job or business, challenges will surely arise.


When those children come a new challenge arises, a real great task to bring them up.


That promotion or expansion in business will come with it's own challenges.


Yes, every phase you move in life comes with it's challenges. However, your trust in God will make Him turn everything for your good.


Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.


Abram ran to Egypt because of famine, he faced the threat to his life because of the extreme beauty of his wife Sarah. He had to introduce her as his sister, which was not a complete truth. He eventually left Egypt a wealthy man!


That difficult situation will become a victory for you.


This will continually be our song:


Psalms 30:11-12

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. 

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,

that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. 

O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!


Remember, your disposition should be that of victory, for Christ has given us victory by default.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
