BEFORE YOU CONDEMN, CONSIDER THIS – GOD HAS PLANS (5)

Post date: Sep 17, 2020 11:22:53 PM

The Almighty God has plans to cancel all forms of condemnations in you; plans to take away the years of evil afflictions, years of evil, and pains; plans to repay the perpetrators of evil, those still insisting to hold you in their web of condemnation and wickedness. The Lord Almighty has definite plans which will be implemented only by Him in your life and He will not fail. Plans to purify you; plans to save you, plans to justify you, plans to send a strong undeniable message on your behalf, plans to liberate you, plans to upturn past, present, and ongoing evil judgments and afflictions; plans to re-instate you, plans to compensate you for wasted years, plans to open doors, and plans to stop further evil. He has plans that do not fail or stop until all are done for His glory to be seen in you and on earth. He is perfect in all His plans. When He began His plans for the children of Israel in Egypt, He did not fail, He did not stop and I don’t see Him stopping now

“The Lord Almighty answers, I will send my messenger to prepare the way for me. Then the Lord you are looking for will suddenly come to His Temple. The messenger you long to see will come and proclaim my covenant. But who will be able to endure the day when He comes? Who will be able to survive when he appears? He will be like strong soap, like a fire that refines metal. He will come to judge like one who refines and purifies silver. As a metalworker refines silver and gold, so the Lord’s messenger will purify the priests so that they will bring to the Lord the right kind of offerings. Then the offerings which the people of Judah and Jerusalem bring to the Lord will be pleasing to Him, as they used to be in the past. The Lord Almighty says, I will appear among you to judge, and I will testify at once against those who practice magic, against adulterers, against those who give false testimony, those who cheat employees out of their wages, and those who take advantage of widows, orphans, and foreigners—against all who do not respect me. I am the Lord, and I do not change. And so you, the descendants of Jacob, are not yet completely lost. You, like your ancestors before you, have turned away from my laws and have not kept them. Turn back to me, and I will turn to you. But you ask, what must we do to turn back to you? Malachi 1:1-7

They may have stopped your job or wages; stop you from doing business, having children, taken away your peace, your confidence, and your comfort; they may have denied or rejected you in marriage or workplace, irrespective of what they have done, do not condemn yourself because of their actions or anything else, the Almighty God can still turn things around for you, He had done it before and He will do it again. We pass through troubling times, and situations every day, yet our God is with us and in all of these things we are not consumed by them even when we are condemned by men.

On seeing him at birth, his parents were furious because what they saw contradicted their hope and their expectation in a child; they gave him a name to reflect their anger. After growing up and seeing himself, knowing what had happened at his birth, feeling the pains and rejection by family and parents, and having no friends because of how he looked, Jabez did not condemn himself to their thoughts and actions even when felt the weight of their condemnation, but He turned to the Lord Almighty who alone can do all things through prayer and God did hear him and carry out His plans for his life. God changed things in his life; God gave him a testimony that took away the past memory of his past experiences over the years and he became honorable and respected. “And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me. And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicle 4:9-10.  For prayers, Click here
