Deuteronomy 28:2 ‘And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.’
DAILY READING – – 1 Timothy 5:23-6:21; Jeremiah 3-4; Psalm 120
William Kamkwamba is a Malawian inventor, engineer, and author.
He gained fame, when at age 14, in 2001, he built a wind turbine to power multiple electrical appliances in his town.
William was born in a family of relative poverty in a very poor village in Malawi. However his parents were Christians who brought him up in the way of the Lord. Forced to quit school because of inability to pay his school fees, William trusted the Lord to see him through in life. He resorted to educating himself by frequenting the public library.
After reading a book titled ‘Using Energy’, William taught himself the principles of electric generation from this book. This boy, who had never seen a computer, surprisingly, was able to build a windmill using materials collected from a local scrapyard.
He built a windmill powerful enough to run lights and water pumps for his poor village in Malawi.
His ingenuity caught the eye of a journalist who wrote about him. As a result he was invited to talk at TED Global conference 2007 in Arusha, Tanzania. His speech moved the audience, and several people at the conference pledged to help finance his secondary education and he received a scholarship to continue with his studies after a 5-year lapse.
And today, from a village school dropout, William has become an international innovator, engineer, and author. His story has been captured in books and movies and in 2013, TIME magazine named William Kamkwamba as one of the “30 People Under 30 Changing The World”.
William continually credits God for his success and the inspiration that led to his inventions.
William’s story is a remarkable example of the difference God can make in the life of a person.
Though the odds seemed against him, through faith in God, William refused to accept his “fate” and dared to believe God for the miraculous. By doing what he could with the little that he had, today, God has multiplied his efforts and magnified his little steps.
The fact that a negative pattern have been passed down to you, doesn’t mean you have to live with it. You may have been born into a disadvantaged background where it appears you were limited right from the start.
But even in the midst what looks impossible, God is able to manifest to you as a way-maker and barrier breaker.
Though the circumstances of life may seem to have put you at a disadvantage, that still cannot thwart God’s great plan for you.
As you trust God and keep pressing forward to the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, God will open for you doors no man can shut. He will cause you to be the one who blazes a new trail and breaks the barriers in your family.
God will use you to stop generational curses and start generational blessings.
The truth is that when God is with you no matter how weak or disadvantaged you may be, you will surely succeed against all odds.
Indeed God can use anyone who yields to Him to accomplish great things on earth.
Therefore, today, regardless of your current circumstances, determine to keep following God faithfully. God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
As you rightly position yourself through study of His Word, a prayerful lifestyle and fervent praise, God will indeed turn you into a wonder.
God will open doors you never imagined and blessings will suddenly begin to chase you down.
Deuteronomy 28:2 says ‘And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.’
Indeed as long as you put your trust in the Lord, you shall never be ashamed. Therefore in this second half of the year, let us begin to believe God to exceed our expectations.
It is certainly our time to experience divine acceleration, speedy accomplishments and an overtaker’s anointing to pursue, overtake and recover every good thing ordained for us in this season.
PRAYER; Lord please help me to be obedient to Your Word, so that I can experience Your wonders. I know that You are in perfect control of my life and as I continue to trust in You, You will certainly exceed all my expectations this year in Jesus Name.
