Isaiah 48:17 ‘Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.’
DAILY READING; Ephesians 2; Ezekiel 5-6; Psalm 151
Reinhard Bonnke, is regarded as the father of modern-day crusades in Africa. It is estimated that over 79 million people converted to Christianity as a result of his ministry.
However, just before the take-off of his massive crusades across Africa, Bonnke was a local preacher, who preached to small crowds.
In 1979, while on a street-preaching trip in Botswana, he felt the Lord leading him to rent the National Stadium for a crusade.
By this time, the people who attended Bonnke’s preaching were very few, so he didn’t know how he could fill a stadium. He approached local pastors to assist him to organize the crusade, but they disbelieved his claims of what He said God had told him, and no one was willing to assist him.
Bonnke then decided he would have to depend solely on the Lord to help him.
Bonnke rented an 800-seat town hall and started the crusade. However when only 100 people showed up on the first night, he was disappointed, wondering how he could ever fill a stadium. But that night the power of God erupted in the hall and people received miraculous healing.
As the news of miracles spread, within days the town hall was packed to capacity. From there the crusade moved to the National Stadium, where attendance eventually reached 40,000.
And from then on Bonnke’s ministry continued to see enormous crowds, with manifestations of mighty miracles and power.
Sometimes great achievement starts with crisis. But no matter how rough the road, you have to maintain a winner`s attitude and keep pressing forward.
When God gives you a definite Word, you must be prepared to fight the good fight of faith. People may refuse to help you or be against you, but when God is on your side nothing can stop you. It is only a matter of time before you win.
God is committed to teaching you to profit and leading you by the way that you should go [Isaiah 48:17].
Even if things appear to be just the opposite of what you desire, stand strong in faith and keep giving glory to God. Talk faith in the face of fear, talk strength in the face of weakness, declare health in the face of sickness, speak life in the face of death, talk victory in the face of defeat.
Today, that issue that seems like a great challenge to you is only a test. Don’t give up because things appear not to be working.
Don’t be intimidated by challenges because oftentimes, giants are the first sign that you are on the road to your Canaan.
Always remember that the enemy fights what he fears. The reason why he fiercely resists your progress is to distract you from your divine purpose. But refuse to give up or give in. Continue to diligently seek God’s face through studying the Word, fasting, prayer and praise. It is certainly your season to experience amazing open doors.
As you keep pressing forward by faith, you will soon see each goliath on your way defeated and you will gloriously ascend to your throne this year.
PRAYER: Lord, I praise You for the strength and tenacity You have granted me to keep pressing forward, despite the challenges on my way. I thank You Lord, for Your abundant blessings that are about to overflow my life in Jesus Name.
