There is a man that stepped out of nowhere and spoke the world into existence. With His voice He commanded the creation of day & night, the Heavens & the Earth, the seas, grass, herbs, seeds, fruit trees, seasons and signs to tell the difference between the days & years and He even spoke the creation of the living animal. This same man created man out of dust and woman from the man’s rib. This man called God. Do you know him? Have you accepted him? Have you opened the door to let Him in? Yes I know that while you were in the world you had to deal with temptations but now with the acceptance of Christ you got trials too but just hold on! See, with God you’re transformed from worldly temptations to trials because trials are God’s way of testing us and through these tests and trials we are taught talents that allows us to tolerate the torment of those who trespass against us so that we triumph over the trouble and get the treasure that turns tests into testimonies, toiling into teaching and tears into thankfulness.
So be thankful for the tests and for the trials that you go through because God won’t ever take you to a place that He hasn’t already prepared with an escape exit. He won’t take you down a road that doesn’t have road side assistance and he won’t ever back you up against a wall that doesn’t have a secret passage way out. Yea, even with the things you’re battling now; hold on because there is a Man who can turn those things around. Even with the doctor’s face looking grim and the words coming from his mouth feels like a knife cutting you; there is a Man who can heal and restore your health. With the laying off of hundreds of teachers and school workers, there is a Man who is able to provide just in the nick of time. With the many obstacles you’re facing, there is a Man who has given us the faith to say to those obstacles, “MOVE” and they shall be moved and if that doesn’t work; He’ll give us strength to climb. Even with the hell roaming the streets, killings are rising, people don’t even speak to one another anymore, children dying at the hands of folk who are supposed to love them, husbands & wives aren’t speaking and living in the same house, forgiveness doesn’t exist because hate has replaced it, love doesn’t live in your heart anymore because lust has taken over, grace and mercy aren’t invited to your house because gossip and mess beat them there, friends are being replaced with dressed up enemies and your own family is starting to hate on your blessings but that’s alright because there is a Man that can turn the wrong way into the right path, the wrong words into a worship experience, a diagnosis into a dance, pain into praise, stumbling blocks into your shouting area, jealousy into joy, a victim into a victory, evil into your elevation, abuse into your anointing, rejection into your reaping, refusals into rejoicing, weakness and weeping into willing workers and pity into passion for picking up and pushing on! Oh, there is a Man who is able if you accept, willing if you want it and capable if you care. You need to believe in Him, accept Him, trust Him and then work for Him and allow Him to do it!
