1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ‘Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.’
DAILY READING – Acts 3; Deuteronomy 17-18; Job 12
Eric Ramsey is current president of the Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelists and president of Tom Cox World Ministries in Mountainburg, Arkansas. He is an adventurous evangelist who is dedicated to serving unreached people around the world. With the unreached people groups mostly in restrictive countries, Eric Ramsey and his team often face dangerous situations.
On one trip in Asia, they were in a remote area closed to tourists looking for a certain unreached people group.
As they hiked through the jungle, the team noticed a strange sight.
It was a 10,000 kw of electricity going into the mountain. They took a picture of it, but soon realized it was a military establishment. Having been seen on CCTV camera, in about 22 minutes two government military vehicles pulled up and detained the team and placed them in one vehicle. Apparently, they had stumbled upon a munitions facility.
Eric Ramsey hid his cell phone in his boot and managed to get a text off to his wife asking her to pray for them.
His wife immediately got the word out to their prayer network.
In the back of the enclosed paddy wagon traveling down a windy dirt road, one of the men on Ramsey’s team began to experience motion sickness.
Ramsey told their captors they needed to stop before the man threw up in the van.
As they approached an outdoor market they had visited previously, Ramsey asked the driver if they could get down there. Surprisingly, the military driver pulled over and let them out. Even more astonishing, the driver let them retrieve their backpacks. This could be nothing other than an answer to prayers.
Speaking in Pig Latin, the team agreed to meet at a particular spot in 11 minutes. The men scattered through the market while their driver waited at the van for them. Precisely on the appointed time, they met at agreed spot and from there ran into the woods, moving as fast as they could, knowing the military would track them.
Out in the middle of nowhere, the men prayed a bold prayer, asking God to send them a big van that would rescue them.
Few minutes later, a white van suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pulled up next to them.
It was an Australian driving a 12-passenger van.“Hey mates, need a ride?”the man called out to them.
The team could hardly believe their eyes. God had indeed sent them deliverance.
They clambered into the van and eventually made their way to safety.
The team continues to see many such miracles as they coordinate mission projects in 124 countries, winning many souls to Christ, and planting new churches.
We must never give up hope–even when things look their worst, because God is in control!
There are times it may feel like your back is up against a wall and, it seems there is no way you can make it. But you must understand that God is the God of the Impossible. He can and will help you.
In every situation, you can be sure that the faithful God who called you, is able to do it.
God will never put on you more than you can bear. And sometimes, tribulation is only an indication of the grace He has given you to overcome the situation.
Psalm 34:19-20 says ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken..’
Certainly, when God is with us we will not need to fear or become dismayed. He is able to handle whatever comes our way.
There is no night so dark, His light cannot penetrate.
In situations where you don’t know what to do, always trust that God knows what to do. Just turn over the battle to Him through prayer and thanksgiving.
As long as we are sincere in following Him, He will certainly take of us. Whatsoever we desire, no matter how small or big, God is able to accomplish. Divine help is only a prayer away.
As long as you are on the Lord’s side, you are certainly on the winning side.
In Isaiah 41:10 God says ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’
Certainly, God is too faithful to fail. In every situation just maintain your praise. Stay in faith and keep giving glory to God.
At those times, when everything seems to be contrary and there seems no reason to be thankful, those are the very moments we should offer unto God worthy praise.
Rejoicing and being thankful in everything is God’s will for us. As long as you are praising God, the red sea will never swallow you. The storm will not stop you and the billows will not blow you away.
Today, let us keep blessing the Lord at all times. As we do, we will soon see downpours of favor, blessings, and abundance of God’s signs and wonders.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You that this month, is my season to experience speedy accomplishments and enjoy an overflow of divine abundance. By Your grace what looks impossible to men will become possible in my life in this season in Jesus Name. .
