Romans 8: 28 –“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
DAILY READING; Ephesians 5:1-20; Ezekiel 14-15; Isaiah 44
Morris Cerullo was only five years old when his mother died and his alcoholic father dropped him and his brother and three sisters off at a foster home. As a result, Morris Cerullo grew up angry and rebellious. By the time he was 10 years old, he had earned a reputation for toughness and defiance because of his drinking, smoking, cursing, fighting and stealing. However, before he was 13 years old, life had broken him inside so badly that he devised a plan to kill himself. He might have done it, but he was divinely rescued by The Spirit of God.
One day he met a Christian nurse whom God sent into that orphanage and that encounter turned his life around. The woman led Morris to Christ and gave him a Bible to read. At the age of 14 years he gave his life to Christ.
When the authorities discovered that the nurse had been preaching to Morris, she was thrown out of the orphanage. Morris was punished and was asked to make a choice between keeping his Bible and leave the orphanage or abandon it and remain in the orphanage. He made the choice to keep the Bible and turned his back on the orphanage. He left the place with only the shirt on his back and no promise of food or shelter anywhere. However, God showed up in miraculus ways and brought people that sheltered him and provided his needs. Eventually, Cerrullo’s decision to serve God and leave the orphanage became one of the best decisions of his life.
It marked the beginning of a glorious new destiny.
Morris Cerullo would become a minister used mightily by God to reach multitudes of people for Christ. As an international evangelist he preached the Gospel in about 100 nations and positively affected many lives
Our choice to serve God against the odds will always be rewarded. Certainly, God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.
Oftentimes, the enemy tries to get us to compromise our faith by presenting tempting options.
But we must remain steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord.
No matter how tough things may intially seem, God will surely see you through.
The truth is that when God is with you, despite the odds, you will surely succeed.
It doesn’t matter what confronts you, you will not only survive, you will thrive in that situation by God’s grace..
When you carry a glorious destiny, the fight and resistance against you often begins early in life. The enemy would do everything to truncate the calling upon your life. This is why you must make a total commitment to serve God so that by His help you can overcome all oppositions and arrive at your glorious destiny. The things the enemy meant for evil in your life, God will turn it all around for your good..
Romans 8: 28 says “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Those that love God and put their trust in Him shall never be ashamed. It doesnt matter what may come against you, it is all working out together for your good. What was meant to be a disadvantage, God will turn it around to become an advantage. Where you were meant to stumble, God will cause you to soar. He will lift you up and give you double for all your troubles.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be totally dependent upon You, so that by Your power I can overcome the oppositions against me. I thank You Lord that even right now, You are doing for me exceedingly abundantly above all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name. .
