It was only last year (2006) that i was in such a state of despair and anguish. A place that i would wish upon no one. With all the promises of God looming, prophetic utterances heard, i still felt at a loss. I was hoping and praying that things would turn around and that at the end of it, victory would be waiting for me around the 2007 corner.
There was all this talk about me travelling and so forth when it came to ministry and it wasn't that i didn't believe, my only question was when. I was getting to a point of anxiety. There were so many pitfalls leading up to this momentous occasion with my purpose in Christ and this pre-destined appointment. I was running out of time (my travel documents soon to expire). God truly works in mysterious ways and He in His infinite wisdom formed a connection that would open the doors for my international ministry to take place. (God bless you Cat for seeing the move of God on my life and playing such a critical role). Only a few months removed from 2006 and there i was on a plane heading to my destiny. I would never have known when or how but God, but God... He did it.
Since my stay in Florida, God, in such a short period of time, has opened so many doors. I have been able to do so many things and so much favour was bestowed upon me. I would have never imagined it possible at this season of my life. New friends, bonds made. New family acquired (Nortons). It's been absolutely awesome what the Lord has done and how He's used me and blessed me. I've seen so much and done so much and it was only Jesus who made it happen. Thank you Lord. There were points even during my stay in FL that brought me to states of frustration, disappointment and discouragement but PURPOSE MUST BE FULFILLED. The Lord would not give me more than I could bear (Alleluia). I love the Lord and hate to disappoint Him. He knows my heart...
I am now walking in a new place, at a new level. Even in Jamaica God continues to open doors even upon my return and things are falling into place. The work is not near complete by any stretch of the imagination but it has just begun. I must now be faithful to the call upon my life and to what God would have me do. In this season, in this time.
Now, how does all of the above relate to YOU? Well, for one, you must remain faithful, yes FAITHFUL to what God has called you to do and be faithful in the little so that when He sees it fit he will make you faithful over much. Don't be discouraged when things dont fall into place the way that you think they should. Hold on to every promise that He has promised you. Whether He spoke to you in personal devotions or through the prophets, don't let go of the Word.
The Word says in Luke 16:10a, "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much..." God knows you and He knows what you are about. He knows the mistakes that have been made. But, even better than that, He sees where you are headed and He has awesome things in store for you. No matter how things look now, no matter what you have had to endure, there is better on the other side. Like me, you can take a look at what you went through in 2006 and compare it to where you are now and I'm sure you can say God has brought you a mighty long way. If not for His grace and tender mercies where would you be today. Even if you are still experiencing problems that have been carried over from 2006. The Word promises that this is the year of the harvest, the overflow. The season for the caterpillar and locust has past. Take your God-given authority and begin to declare some things. The Lord is seeking those who will be faithful and will trust and believe His word. It's one thing to KNOW the Word but it's a completely different thing to BELIEVE the Word. God acts upon the level of your faith and it's that faith that send the angels on assignment on your behalf.
My brother, my sister, God is not through with you yet. Don't give up, don't throw in the towel. Truly, the best is yet to come. YOUR LATTER WILL BE GREATER THAN YOUR PAST!!! (Haggai 2:9). The Word also says, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" - Philippians 1:6. You have been praying and crying out to Him. Asking Him to take you out of this dry place and seeming stagnation. You have been seeking His face wondering when you would be delivered. I believe that your pleas have been heard. God is not slack with His promises. The Lord of the breakthrough is here.
Continue to stand on the Word and believe that it will come to pass. God is not mocked and will not be brought to shame. His Word will, yes WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED. He promises that His Word will not return to Him void but will do what it was sent to do. He is a mighty God and has EVERYTHING in control. I can't urge you enough to stand on the Word of God.
Nothing is impossible for God and He can and will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you could ever ask, think or imagine. (Eph. 3:20).
Be encouraged. God is not done with you just yet. He is just beginning.
Blessings...
No weapon, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am a child of God and I am the victor and not the victim in the name of Jesus I am an overcommer. I shall speak to my mountains and they shall be removed any hindrances, assaults, demonic influences I cancel it in the name of Jesus. I shall set my mind on things that are good, pure and of good report. I shall think on these things to allow your power to continue to flow freely in my life. A divine intervention a closer walk with thee O’ Lord In the name of Jesus. Amen. I got the victory
