ROMANS 8:28  – “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.’

DAILY READING– Luke 7:18-50; Genesis 11; Psalm 5

William Kamkwamba is an international innovator, engineer, and author from Malawi. His story is a remarkable example of the difference God can make in the life of a person. William was brought up in a strong Christian home, but his family suffered great poverty. When his father could not afford school fees, William dropped out of school and dutifully joined his family in farming. But he never let go of his hunger for learning. Fortunately  there was an internationally-supported library in the town, which he frequently visited. When a terrible drought struck their small village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season’s crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. As William explored the science books in the library, he came up with an idea that would change his family’s life forever. Putting to practice what he had learned from a book about energy, he disassembled an old bicycle, gathered scraps of junk and began to build a windmill. Like Noah building an ark, William became the laughingstock of the village. However, when he succeeded in building an electricity-producing windmill that brought light to his home, the villagers no longer laughed at him. Now they needed his help. With the windmill he charged car batteries throughout the day, which then were used to light houses or power radios in the neighborhood. William next devised a plan to build a larger windmill to pump water during the drought. With his bigger windmill, their village was no longer at the mercy of darkness or drought. His ingenuity caught the eye of international organizations and William received a scholarship to study at Dartmouth University and so resumed his studies after a 5-year lapse. And today, from a village school dropout, William has become an international mover and shaker in technology education. In his autobiography, ‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’, he credits God with the inspiration that led to his inventions. His story has been made into a film starring major Hollywood actors.

It is truly amazing to see how God totally changed William’s story. Though the odds seemed against him, through faith in God, William refused to accept his “fate” to a life of poverty and impossibility. And because he dared to believe God for the miraculous, through him today, the story of his family has positively changed and his village has been brought to global limelight.

Indeed God can use you to change the story of your lineage. The fact that a negative pattern have been passed down in your family line doesn’t mean it has to continue. Through you bondages that have held your family back can be broken. This is because your case is different. And because you are born of God, you are born to overcome. Through faith in Christ, you can take your family to a whole new level. And God will not only use you to just break generational curses, but He will use you to start generational blessings.

And as you follow your vision there will surely be oppositions. People may mock you, but people don’t determine your destiny. Jehovah alone has the final say over you. Therefore focus on God’s Word and let results speak for you. Remember it is always darkest just before the day breaks. But no matter how dark the night, it has never stopped the day from breaking forth. And though weeping may endure for a night, never forget that joy comes in the morning.

Therefore keep faith alive and remain heavily expectant. Something good is about to happen. God is about to open doors for you that no man can shut. Good breaks, and right opportunities will suddenly begin to chase you down.  Indeed the God we serve is a waymaker. He is a barrier breaker who will go ahead of you to break every resistance. Do not limit what God can do in your life. Therefore today trust Him to do something new for you, trust Him to exceed your expectations and cause all things to work together for your good.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for giving me a positive change of story and turning every disappointing situation into a blessing for me. I know that even right now, You are causing all things to work together for my good in Jesus Name.
