Romans 8:19 ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.’
DAILY READING; Matthew 4; Exodus 25-27; Proverbs 12
In 2019, a viral video surfaced on the internet that showed how a woman saved passengers from a plane crash by delaying the flight through her prayers.
According to online reports, the Cayman Airways flight KX620 from Grand Cayman to Kingston, Jamaica was delayed about an hour and 15 minutes by the woman who burst into prayers after boarding the plane.
Just minutes before take-off., this woman kept praying and screaming, “Jesus! Jesus!
She went up and down the aisle, declaring “Hallelujah” and speaking in tongues. In the background some other passengers also joined in her prayers.
When Flight attendants failed to get her to stop praying after several attempts, the woman was later forcefully removed from the aircraft.
All these happenings delayed the flight by almost 2 hours. When the pilot eventually proceeded on the journey and the plane took off into the air, the ground crew noticed smoke and electric sparks coming from one of the engines.
Immediately the captain was contacted and he had to turn back and return to the airport. The captain later admitted that had the woman not caused the delay with her prayers, they could have flown off with a faulty engine and possibly suffered a plane crash in mid-air. The captain said he believed the woman was God-sent to save them from a terrible disaster.
Indeed God works in mysterious ways.
While they were trying to get rid of this woman, they did not know she was an agent of deliverance sent to preserve that flight from destruction.
When Joseph’s brothers were trying to get rid of him, they did not know he had been sent by God to preserve their destinies.
As children of God we are sent into the world for the preservation of many destinies.
Jesus said, we are the salt of the earth. The two main functions of salt are preservation and adding taste. Indeed salt has been used for centuries to dry and preserve foods.
Being the salt of the earth means we are designed to preserve humanity from decadence and destruction.
When Paul was on a ship going to Rome, the entire passengers on the ship were preserved because of him.
Just as Paul’s presence in the ship attracted God’s divine hand that protected the other passengers, for our sakes, those connected to us will be preserved.
Interestingly, saltwater can generate electricity and thereby produce light. No wonder Jesus also said we are the light of the world.
Being the light of the world, means we are beacons that shine God’s light into the world to lead men out of darkness.
In the gross darkness of these end-times, there are cries of oppression as humanity groans in pain, looking for deliverance and emancipation from their predicaments.
Indeed the whole creation is groaning and travailing in pain together until now, waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
As believers in these end-times, we have been born for such a time as this. We have been sent into this generation by divine design to preserve lives.
Therefore we need to assume spiritual responsibility and pay the spiritual price of deeply seeking God so as to manifest His power for the rescue of mankind.
Through the greatness of God’s power manifesting through us, all God’s enemies will be subdued and men will be rescued from the oppressions of darkness.
This is God’s plan for the end-time Church. Let us therefore rightly position ourselves through diligent study of the Word, fervent prayers and passionate worship to be part of this glorious army who will be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
PRAYER: Lord, please whatever You are doing in this season, may I never miss out on it. Please help me to be spiritually sensitive to Your every leading, so that I can take my place in Your great army in these last days in Jesus Name.
