“DID YOU KNOW YOUR FUTURE IS FAR BETTER?”

Post date: Oct 4, 2017 3:49:23 AM

The day that Jabez was born, his parents saw a very dark future for him because of the way he looked in their eyes; they saw sorrows all around him, they saw him becoming a big problem to them and to himself; they saw him in the eyes of pain and anger in their hearts; they saw him a man without any hope for change, any hope of being blessed, any hope of ever becoming a better person and they saw his future as the worst that could ever happen to a person; but unknown to them, God saw something quite different and far better for him than they could ever imagine in their best of times; God saw a man who could pray heaven down, a man who would stand up with God until he receives answer, a man who was able even in his disability to see and demand better things for himself; God say him able to make a better choice for the best that his parents could not see, could not get, could not pray for and could not receive from God; God saw him as a person who was able to convince Him to change his life; God saw him as a man of and with a large heart and a better destiny, and God saw him as a man who will have a great testimony and influence to the rest of believers around the world. Permit me to announce this to you again, you will not remain in those sorrows indefinitely; you will not remain in that self-pity situation the rest of your life; you will not remain in any form of anger or pains or regrets indefinitely; you will not weep without having a chance to rejoice and you will not pray without God answering you. Your future is better than what you have today or the best days or seasons or years you have ever had before; despite the disappointments, the lacks and the shame accompanying you daily, your future is better and God is your maker, has a better destiny for you and will enable you to get it as He had desired and destined for you.

While the parents of Jabez gave up all hope on him because of what they saw when he was born, God was waiting for him to grow up and speak his heart own to Him. While his parents were looking for and expecting a son who will change their lives and fortune after disappointments in their previous childbearing experiences, Jabez was looking at the God who is above all things anyone could ever think or imagine who would change his life and fortune and not the parents or family members or friends or colleagues who will help him overcome some of his physical pains. Who are you looking for to help you? do not be deceived, the pains of today is asking you to do what Jabez did, stop looking for parents, friends, colleagues or associates to help you out, they could but their help is temporal, limited and short-lived, but when God steps in to help you, it will be permanent, long-lived and it will bring you great profits. Many people are angry at what they are now forgetting that despite all the odds of today, all the fears and uncertainties, all the shame and disappointments and all the discouraging words and actions of men against you, you still have a better chance for a better future. What men could not think or imagine can still happen in your life. it is God who holds the future for you, not your present circumstances and God will give you that which is better than what you have, your very best is still in His hands. Oppressions make a wise person look like and speak like a fool but God will deliver you from that oppression for His given wisdom to bring His intended blessings to your life. It is unwise to say your better days are behind. “For oppression makes a wise man foolish and a bribe corrupts the good judgment of the heart. The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit. Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger dwells in the heart of fools. Do not say, why were the old days better than these? For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. Wisdom along with an inheritance is good and an excellent advantage for those who see the sun, for wisdom is a protection even as money is a protection, but the excellent advantage of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors.
