No matter how the world looks at you, remember God looks at you as His own child. For Him, you are a treasured possession. He loves you too much and so He will not abandon you. You are His desire and His beloved! How then would He allow lacks and wants to rule over you? His strength and counsel would come to you at the right time to lift you up and you will be honoured above others.
An ordinary businessman went through great loss and was deserted by his business partners. Besides that, he fell seriously ill and was admitted in the hospital. One day, he heard a melodious song coming from a nearby church. He got up from his bed with great difficulty and walked towards the church. As he went closer, he clearly heard the choir singing, “God will take care of you”. Those Spirit-filled words touched his heart and quickened him. The love of Jesus diffused into his soul and gave him life. He was completely healed of his condition. He called the doctors and shouted joyfully, “Sir, look at the new strength that has come upon me.” From then onwards, he gave his life to Jesus and started his business all over again and it flourished. He is none other than J.C. Penney, one of the world’s top entrepreneurs. Today, there are 1400 department stores in 49 states in the United States of America, which were started by him.
See the abundance, my friend. Losses in business and being deserted by friends would leave you abandoned in a gut-wrenching situation. But, as “You are precious and honoured in God’s sight” (Isaiah 43:4), He will never allow you to get sunk in your troubles. God’s word has all the power to lift you and revive you to walk in abundance in every area. Your exaltation comes from God and not from any man. If God did this for J.C. Penney, He will do it for you too. Trust in Him and believe in His word.
Prayer:
Loving Father, I come before You with all my losses. I do not have anything to even start with. But today, I believe in Your word which is like a dynamite. It is amazing to see how You transformed the life of J.C. Penney. I believe that Your word will comfort me and lift me to high places. Give me Your mighty counsel. Let the blessings spring up. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
