A CHANCE FOR GOOD
Memorise: Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 3:19
Read: Isaiah 55:6-7, Bible in one year:
Ezekiel 34:11-36:15, Revelation 14:14-15:8
After God has done something spectacular
in your life, there is a need to give quality thanks to Him. You need to
appreciate God for His faithfulness and blessings over your life, home and
career, as well as for the peace of mind that money cannot buy. Never allow
anything to limit your thanksgiving, and always colour your thanksgiving with
praise and testimonies. After surviving the flood, Noah and his household
offered quality thanks to God for preserving them in the midst of the
destruction that came upon the earth. Some years ago, one of my daughters
praised God like never before during a New Year cross-over service. Many were
curious to know the reason for her uncommon thanksgiving and praise. In
response, she said she was thanking God for preserving her life to see the New
Year despite all that had happened to her in the previous year. In the previous
year, she lost her job, lost her car to robbers and lost her flat to a fire
incident. But when there is life, there is hope. There is a user of this
devotional, every good thing you have lost before now will be restored in
Jesus’ Name.
Many people only thank God when things
are going well, but for some, thanksgiving has become their lifestyle
irrespective of what is happening around them. Do you remember to thank God at
those times when you have enjoyed uncommon grace to do the right thing, when
ordinarily the devil would have wanted you to do otherwise? It is one thing to
know how to do the right thing, and it is another thing to receive the grace to
do it.
The Lord wants everything to change for
your good. He wants you to experience the times of refreshing. Change can be
positive or negative. If a man gets promoted in the office to an enviable
position, it is a change. This change attracts other changes; for example, the
one who has been receiving orders becomes the one issuing them. The one who has
been driving himself becomes the one with an official driver. This year, the
Lord will surprise you and surprise your enemies by what He will do in your
life. This is why you cannot afford to be unserious with God. While things change
for good for His children, for those who are not on the Lord’s side, the change
will not be positive. When the Lord set the children of Israel free
from the hands of their slave masters, it was a change to freedom, but on the
side of the Egyptians, it was the beginning of destruction and self-service. I
am speaking to the life of someone: a change is coming to you now. It shall be
a change for good that will affect every area of your life and bring uncommon
blessings to your life, family, ministry, business and career.
Key Point
Change happens to those who are prepared
to handle it.
