THE MESSAGE NOW
Vol. 3, No. 7 – Monday, 12th February, 2018
(Numbers 23:19-23, Genesis 21:1)
WHO IS GOD TO YOU DURING THE MOMENTS OF EXPECTATION PRIOR TO MANIFESTATION?
Whether advertently or inadvertently, many of us have made attempts at imagining or defining who the great Maker of heaven and earth is. A hinduist and founder of modern nation of India, Mahatma Gandhi once educated on this topic of attempting to define or ascertain who God is.
Gandhi noted: ‘no one has the ability to predict God. We are drops in that limitless ocean of His mercy’. What a sound comparison between the insignificant size of man and the limitless mercy of the One whose greatness is beyond measure.
Haven’t our academic brain ever questioned at any time: how did God come to be? Who created God? What does God look like? The list of questions of this kind is often endless.
The sound fact remains that who God is especially during one’s moments of expectation, tribulation or whilst in the waiting-room of life depends on what one has made of God prior to any of these three moments. Why?
The truth is: that for which one has had a perfect knowledge of in the light cannot assume an entirely different complexion in the dark. It is what one makes of God prior to adversity that will answer the questions posed by that adversity when its ugly moments do appear.
Isn’t a sound knowledge by Apostle William F. Kumuyi that ‘whatever a man believes in will work for him’? If who God is to any one is problem solver, then in that same complexion God will show up during the moments of adversity.
So then, I conclude that God is though undefinable, but identifiable and impactful. During moments of expectation or during the era of the experience of the waiting-room, if only man has prior to these times consciously worked in the reality that God has a never failing track record of good will and fulfilling promises, then it is certain that the result of every expectation cannot but be unhindered manifestation of His kindness and kind outcomes.
Do you think God will ever fail? Do you think God is like men who make promises but never or often do not keep them? Beware of this knowledge that God will remain God and God will do whatever He has promised whether that good promise is known to you or not.
The month of February 2018 is already hastening almost halfway, and the year seem to you to be taking the same turn like every other year of the past. I have a strong conviction from the Lord for you: this year will turn out differently not like those past years.
No matter how strong the strength of falsehood and lies have been through the ages; they must one day fall before the light of truth. For truth has power and its power is backed up by divine force. But falsehood is empty, and it is no more than cleverly packaged fiction of the devil. For you in 2018 mark this: according to my word and the word of the Lord who is my peace, you will testify with tears of joy at the close of this year.
IN THE END, THE BEAUTY OF ANY PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT PROCESSED IN THE LIGHT BUT IN THE DARK ROOM AFTER WHICH ITS BEAUTY IS MADE OBVIOUS IN THE LIGHT. THIS MEANS THAT ITS UGLINESS IS TRIMMED OUT IN THAT DARK WAITING ROOM OF PROCESSING. SO IT IS WITH YOUR DESTINY. THE BEAUTY OF YOUR DESTINY WILL SOON BECOME SO LOUD AND CELEBRATED NO MATTER YOUR AGE AND STATUS.
