The central story of my life is about nothing else. It is about the God who made me be born, the God who guided me, the God who became man, the God who died for my sins, The God who always sustains me and one day will perfect me in glory.
Episode from the book ‘Surprised by joy’ by CS Lewis. “Do you wonder when things will change as much as I do?” Today we will join together in this incredible message and bring forth how he has been preparing a new season in your life. Stay with us for this powerful prayer.
Dear friends, I believe God is guiding each one of you to a new season in life. A season full of his promises, blessings and opportunities. This is not just a change in your circumstances but a profound transformation for which he has prepared you. As it says in Jeremiah 29;11 ”For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope in the future.”
Each season in life has its purpose, just as the earth goes through winter, spring, summer and autumn. Our lives also go through different phases .Some seasons are meant for sowing, others for growing and others for harvesting and some for resting. Maybe you have been in the season of waiting, struggling or uncertainty. But I want to assure you that God has been with you in every step of the way. He has seen your tears, heard your prayers and knows the deepest desires of your heart. As it says in 1 John5;14. ‘This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” Now He is calling you to enter a new season. Imagine a garden where flowers are blooming after a long winter! This is what God is doing in your life. He is bringing new opportunities, new relationships and new beginnings for He says in Revelation 21;5, “I am making everything new. He is opening doors no man can shut and closing doors that no longer serve your purpose. As it says in Revelation 3;7, “What he opens, no one can shut and what he shuts, no one can open.” Trust in his timing and plans for they are perfect.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3;1. “There’s a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. And in this new season, God is inviting you to walk closer to him. He wants you to trust more deeply in Him and depend on his faith and wisdom. As it says in Proverbs 3;5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, submit to him and he will make your paths straight. This is the time to let go of past hards, failures and fears. It is a time to forgive others and yourself. It’s a time to heal and move forward with a renewed spirit. As it says in Ephesians 4:31-32 . “Get rid of all rage, bitterness and anger, brawling and slander along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another as in Christ God forgave you.” As it says in 2 Corinthians 12;9. “But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. When you feel inadequate or overwhelmed remember that the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My God is my rock in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the power that saves me. My stronghold. Psalm 18;2 ! To be continued in the next episode….
