1 John 2:27 ‘But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth…”

DAILY READING; Titus 3; Jeremiah 17-18; Psalm 127

In 1949, in Los Angeles, a young preacher named Billy Graham began preaching nightly in a crusade tagged ‘the Greater Los Angeles Revival’.
The crusade was planned to last for three weeks, but as the days went by, Billy became increasingly disappointed by the low turnout as thousands of seats remained empty.
As the local organizing committee were wondering about closing the meetings, because of the poor attendance,
Billy Graham decided to pray and ask God for a clear sign.
In his autobiography, “Just As I Am” Billy Graham wrote that the sign he needed came at 4:30am the next morning. He was woken from sleep by a phone call from a famous entertainer and radio personality named Stuart Hamblen who requested an appointment to meet Billy Graham.
Later when Billy met him, Hamblen said he had attended the crusade the night before and was arrested by the Holy Ghost. Hamblen who was known for living a life of partying, drinking and brawling said that his life had drastically changed..
After they talked, Hamblen totally surrendered his life to Christ.
Graham was amazed at how the Holy Spirit had been working, while he had been busy lamenting the poor attendance of the meeting. He then told the organizers that the crusade should go on and the meeting eventually extended to eight weeks. As the Holy Spirit continued to impact and transform more lives, the attendance began to improve. Soon the venue began to overflow with crowds especially after the media began reporting about the crusade due to the amazing transformation of the life of Stuart Hamblen who had also been broadcasting his newfound faith on his radio program.
With the great publicity, attendance swelled to an estimated 350,000 in the course of eight weeks of the crusade. The Los Angeles revival turned Graham into a national figure and brought great fame and visibility to his ministry.

Anytime you come to a crossroad on life’s journey, it is always good to seek counsel from the Spirit of God.
Don’t make hasty decisions based on the facts or statistics. Let the Holy Spirit abiding within you teach you and give you definite directions.
1 John 2:27says ‘But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things..’

The truth is that anytime you are about to rise to greater heights, you may sometimes first pass through a valley of disappointing experiences. If you are walking by sight, and not by faith, you may conclude it is the end of the road, not realizing it is only a bend leading to a higher way.
If you get to a place where everything seems to be working against you, never give up. That may just be the place and time that the tide is about to turn in your favor. Keep pressing forward because on the other side of that challenge may be awaiting you a new level of destiny.
In order not to miss divine opportunities, you must seek counsel from the Spirit of God through prayers and in-depth study of God’s Word.
Always, remember that your strength doesn’t lie in yourself, but in God. Your goals will not be achieved by your power or might, but by the help of the Spirit of God.
No matter how complex or impossible things may appear, God is able to give you the grace, the strength, and the power to do what you couldn’t do on your own.
Rather than look at what is happening, focus on what is written. God’s Word never fails. Rather than despair, in everything keep giving God thanks. As you praise God, surely, He will raise you out of every valley of disappointment and take you to your mountaintop of victory and greater open doors.

PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me the grace to keep giving You thanks in all things. No matter the happenings around me, I know Your thoughts towards me are always thoughts of good and I will be victorious at last in Jesus Name.
QUOTE;
Praise always guarantees you power for a raise, learning to praise God in season and out of season is key to fulfilling destiny. – WORDBITE 222.
