Recently the news media was agog with the story of an illegal Malian immigrant in France, who helped to rescue a young child.  

According to the story, the little boy’s father had left him alone in their apartment and gone shopping. The four-year-old had strayed to the balcony, where he was on the verge of falling to his death from the fourth floor, but managed to cling to a railing. While horrified onlookers watched the boy about to fall, a  Malian immigrant had rushed to the rescue. This young man who had been hiding from the authorities in France, risked his life to scale the facade of the Paris apartment block to rescue the child. 

A camera had captured what happened and as the video went viral, the Malian was swiftly granted a meeting at the Elysee Palace with the French President. He was congratulated for what he had done and as a result granted a French citizenship. Immediately all his papers were put straight and the process of naturalization started, while an immediate job was given him to work in the emergency services. 

Normally, it would have taken him years to achieve all of these, but suddenly, overnight, from being a fugitive, he became an honored citizen of France. 

Indeed a sudden change of story is possible in a man’s life. 

Joseph was a prisoner in Egypt, but when he interpreted Pharoah’s dream, his story suddenly changed.  And from a prisoner he became a prince of Egypt. 

David was a shepherd boy, but  when he killed goliath he experienced a sudden turnaround. God can set you up for a sudden change of story. One touch of His favor can put you many years ahead of where you ought to be. When you honor God, He will put you in a position you never could have attained by yourself. God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly get breakthroughs, get promoted, meet the right people or your health improves. 

It doesn’t take time, it takes God. 

When God shifts things in your favor, problems that have lingered for years will suddenly turn around. You can be at a lower position, but suddenly things change and you look up to find yourself in a top position. The hand of God can suddenly shift you to a new level of your destiny.

And one of the key factors for a sudden  change of story is praise. You may feel like you’re stuck right now, but as you begin to praise God, things are about to turn around for you. In silence prisons remain closed, but in the midst of shouts of praise, prison doors open up. As Paul and Silas praised God, suddenly the prison doors were flung open. It doesn’t matter where you may have been locked up, today, through praise, you will experience a turnaround in your health, in your finances, in your career, in your family and all around you. God’s favor will propel you forward to unprecedented heights and you will experience sudden increase. 

Psalm 67:5-6 ‘Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.’

As we praise God, we create the atmosphere for unexpected blessings. It doesn’t matter what things may look like in the natural, we serve a supernatural God. And as you praise Him today, He will suddenly turn your mourning into dancing and give you beauty for ashes. 
 PRAYER: Lord, I Thank You for the sudden change of story You are bringing about in my life. I thank You Lord, for doing exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name. .
