Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 4: 9-11
Memory Verse: He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, And He has set the world upon them. 1 Samuel 2:8 (NKJV)
The story is told of a man who was under a heavy financial constraint, but forced himself to come for a conference. There at the conference, he had to beg people for money for registration. It was that bad. BUT he was wise: He found his way into this Christian conference anyway. Nothing should separate you from the love of the father. Guess what? Five months afterwards, he became the owner of a bank. What happened?
The God of suddenly appeared in his situation! The CEO of a bank wanted to retire, but he wanted to hand over to someone he could trust. Then, he remembered him, and handed over quietly to him. Friends, some testimonies are too good to be true especially when the God of suddenly steps in.
You remember Bakare Boluwatife Oluwatobi, popularly known as Minister BBO? He was contented working as an MC. Then, Year 2020 COVID sets in, and there was a lockdown. He became dejected and frustrated. In his frustration, he decided to go to the mountain to go seek the face of God for three (3) days. That was his turning point!
The song, ‘You are the Most High’ dropped in his spirit as he disembarked from the mountain. “Will God be God even if my prayers weren’t answered?”, he thought to himself. He went on his social media status to drop a song asking and answering series of the same question in the lyrics. A friend saw it, and called on him to take a worship session with him. Thereafter, he edited a little part of the 3-hr video worship session and posted online, and that was it – it went viral.
Testimonies started pouring in. Financial blessings started pouring in. BBO was scheduled to start an Office Assistant job the next Monday with a salary of #30,000/month, but the God of suddenly had a better plan. From being an MC to a potential Office Assistant, the God of suddenly catapulted him to a global phenomenon overnight. I see your life change suddenly, in Jesus name.
Lesson: The best time to provoke the God of suddenly is perhaps when life throws a jab on you, and it seems you’re on the floor. In your low estate, don’t stop seeking God’s face. Prove your love and absolute dependance to God at such instance, and watch the God of suddenly surprise you.
Quote: When you are down to nothing, know for sure that God is up to something.
Prophetic Decree: Today, the God of suddenly shall appear, and your situation shall change for good, in Jesus name.
