YOU ARE GOD’S NEXT TESTIMONY NOT HISTORY

Post date: Jan 15, 2014 5:02:06 AM

The words of God and all of His promises concerning His children are more powerful, more meaningful, more rewarding and more relevant than the very best work-out plans by any man for your life. The word of God is forever true, forever unfailing, unending and can never be proven wrong by men despite all attempts by the wisdom of men, and the delays, frustrations and denials you may suffer while waiting for its manifestation in your life.

Many of us are having sleepless night and are so much worried by what people are thinking and saying about us, talking about what we do, what we wear, what we eat, how we live and how the future will be for us. Their thoughts and words are only based on what they see presently based on their finite knowledge of the physical. But far beyond the best of human knowledge, thoughts and imaginations, their words and actions, God is able and will do what He wants for us which will always be the best. Our God will never be limited in what He will do in our lives based on finite thoughts of men against you.

Based on age, long delays and the passage of time, no one gave Sarah the smallest chance that she would ever have a child from her womb, but at the end, Sarah said “God has made me to laugh; all who hear will laugh with me. And she said, who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children at the breast? For I have borne him a son in his old age” Genesis 21:5-6. That is what God will do for you despite the words of men and the delays.

Based on several attempts, no one ever gave Hannah the smallest comfort that she will ever have a child, but at the end, this is what she said: “And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoice in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.” 1 Samuel 2:1-5

Based on family history and genealogy, no one gave Jabaz the smallest hope of turning things around for himself and for the next generation after him, but at the end this is what happened: “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 Chronicles 4:10

Based on scientific knowledge and imaginations of men, no one gave Noah the smallest chance of surviving the flood when he was spending his time constructing the ark as the Almighty God had said to him. At the end only Noah, his family and everything that were in the ark with him survived “And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was entirely dry. And God spoke to Noah, saying; Go forth from the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives with you.” Genesis 8:14-16

Based on the knowledge of Pharaoh and all his cabinet members, no one ever thought Moses and the children of Israel will ever cross the Red Sea on their way to the Promised Land as God had instructed them to do. Based on history, no one ever gave Elijah the smallest hope of survive the wicked onslaught of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel after confronting them with the truth of the words of God. All of them and many more became God’s testimonies not history. I declare, as you pursue God’s promises, you will become God’s testimonies to others in this life. Amen.
