keeping myself busy-that's what i've been doing. so i received presents from Singapore today.God really works in mysterious ways..i was questioning Him and asking... "why?" then i heard Him say.. "charmaine ah, go do your QT first."then i knew "WHY".
this is an excerpt from the prayer of Jabez.
No matter how many sermons we've heard about God's power to work through us, we simply gloss over the meaning of that one little word through. Sure, we say we want God to work through us, but what we really mean is by or in association with. Yet God's reminder to us is the same one He gave the Jews when they returned from captivity to a decimated homeland:
"Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts" Zechariah 4:6
Our God specializes in working through normal people who believe in a supernormal God who will do His work through them. What he's waiting for is the invitation. That means God's math would look more like this:
My willingness and weakness+ God's will and supernatural power
= my expanding territory.
When you take little steps, you don't need God.
It's when you thrust yourself in the mainstream of God's plans for this world- which are beyond our ability to accomplish- and plead with Him, Lord, use me- give me more ministry for You!- that you release miracles. At that moment, heaven sends angels, resources, strength, and the people you need.
God always intervenes when you put His agenda before yours and go for it! If you have prayed to the Lord to expand a border, you will recognize His divine answer. You'll have a front-row seat in a life of miracles.
ps: you all better read this ten times. hee hee. took me so long to type it especially with my finger that's not cooperating with me! :P nah, read cause i think God will speak. :)
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
