Rhema For Living 19th July 2022 OFM Devotional MESSAGE
The statement for our anchor text started with ‘when’ and not ‘if’ to let you know that there will definitely come a time in your life when you will pass through the fire and through the rivers. So to think otherwise when you are in such a situation that God has forsaken you is to be ignorant of the word of God.
God assured us of his presence in such situations. So rather than taking such a position of ignorance, you are to rise up to the challenge with the solution in God who is right with you all through the way by filling yourself with His promises for your life and you will be encouraged and strengthened to tell that situation, that you are coming out victoriously to the glory of God, that it will nor see your end, but you will see its end.
As earlier stated in this message, several believers do not want to pass through the fire, but that is what makes one come out as gold. To be gold you have to undergo fire. When one experiences divine training, he or she moves up the ladder of destiny shining brighter and brighter and glorifying God.
If for had manifested earlier than the perfect time He did for the three Hebrew boys and Daniel, the glory that was revealed would not have been that great. But when He showed up in the midst of the fire as the fourth man and also in the den of lions shutting the mouth of the lion, the entire kingdom in different governments was compelled by the kings to worship and serve the God of Daniel, Shadrach and Meshach, and Abednego, and they were promoted and had relevance in the land.
Also when Jesus showed up and brought Lazarus to life, the glory that was revealed was awesome and many of the Jews believed.
In whatever situation of life, you are in today or will be tomorrow, allow God to manifest His glory because He is mindful of you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, thank you for being mindful of me.
