It is interesting and amazing how an ex-convict became Norway’s Famous Missionary.
Lars Skrefsrud was serving four years in prison for theft, when a revival movement began sweeping through their city. When he heard the Gospel preached, his heart was pricked and he repented and surrendered his life to Christ. He learned English and German while in prison.
After his release from prison, the next year, in 1862, Lars Skrefsrud applied to become a missionary. But the Norwegian Missionary Society turned him down because they didn’t want an ex-con representing them in the foreign field.
Lars refused to give up and applied to the Gossner Mission Society in Germany. His ability to speak German made them accept him. They trained him and sent him to India where he worked among the Santal people in Calcutta. He later teamed up with another missionary and they formed the Santal Mission. Their work prospered and by 1890, Santal mission had 6,000 baptized church members.
Lars Skrefsrud translated the Bible into the Santal tongue and founded schools that taught farming, animal care, carpentry and other useful skills. Through Lars Skrefsrud thousands of people came to know Christ. This ex-convict who was thought unfit to be a missionary eventually became one of Norway’s most famous missionaries..

When men wrote Lars off because he was an ex-convict, he refused to write himself off. He chose to trust in God and eventually became a success.
People may reject you or think less of you, but they don’t have the final say over your life, God alone does. No one can say what will come to pass in your life when the Lord has not commanded it (Lamentations 3:37).
Therefore learn to put negative opinions behind you, and forge ahead to your victorious destiny in Christ.
No matter what comes your way, keep moving forward and in the face of disappointments, refuse to accept defeat.
Someone said life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you take it or react to it.
Therefore, do not allow negative happenings to dictate the outcome of your story.
As you stay connected to God He will soon change your story to glory. Certainly there’s no closed case with God.
The Bible says in Job 14 that though the stump of a tree may be old in the ground , through the scent of water it will bud again. Likewise, despite how stagnant things may appear around you, through connection to the water of God’s Word, you can enjoy renewal, rejuvenation and fruitfulness.
This year is our season for positive change of story. Let us get ready for a glory invasion that will so color our lives that no one sees our scars. Rather in the place of ashes we shall be covered with beauty.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for reversing every disappointing situation into a blessing in my life. I know that even right now, You are changing my story to glory and causing all things to work together for my good in Jesus Name.
