TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...

THE UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM

THE UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM       

Read: Mark 4:30-32
But when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” (Vs. 32)

    There is no power or force that can stop God. So, His kingdom operations are unstoppable. If anyone tries to stop the kingdom of God, such will have to stop living (Luke 20:18). That is why as a citizen of the kingdom of God, you are unstoppable.
 
    Jesus likened the kingdom of God to a small seed called the mustard seed. Though the smallest of all seeds, when it is sown, it soon become a great tree that all birds want to take solace in. The seed of God is His word and His spirit (Mark 4:14). I call it the Spirit of the word (John 6:63, Ezekiel 2:2). Wherever the word of God is, there will be possibility and greatness. Jesus also gave a parable of the sower and great were the fruits (Luke 8:4-8).
 
    Friend, the seed of God to greatness is His word. When the Spirit of the word comes upon you, anything you embark on will prosper. This seed makes you operate at the realm of God. It also makes you bigger than all barriers (John 10:34-35). This is a rhema from God. The Spirit of the word comes upon you as you wait on God in meditation on the word and in prayers. (Isaiah 40:31). When a seed is of God, it will surely germinate, succeed and soon become great (I John 5:4; Matthew 16:18-19). Keep speaking the word into your situations because it is unstoppable. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me enjoy your unstoppable grace.
 
“WHEN THE WORD IS ALWAYS IN YOUR MOUTH, THE RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT”
