Where is your God?
I know of a certain man, who travelled home from a foreign country to his own country, his hometown...
Before leaving his place of assignment, his boss, taking into consideration the insecurity challenge in the land, offered him some guards but this man turned down the offer!
His reason?
'The hand of the Lord was upon him and others that were with him..'
However, on the way, he heard rumours of insecurity in his land..
What would he do now?
Quickly call his boss to send a rescue team?
No he couldn't!
He had already made boast of His God's capability to save and to deliver him, before a heathen boss..
In his words, "I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him..."
Sharing his testimony, he said, "we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us."
This man was Ezra...
Yes, the Ezra you know in the Bible...
For you who have made your boast in the Lord...
For you who have carried the gospel of Christ on your head...
For you who is dedicated to the things of God and circumstances seem to be making a mockery of your faith and belief...
Today, I've come to reassure you
You shall not be ashamed!
You shall not be confounded!
Men shall not ask, where is your God!
Joy, favour and blessings will locate you this week!
You will end this year in praise!
This season, my God is turning things around for you!
This shall be your testimony!
You shall not be ashamed!
Until I come your way again, I am Rabbi Emmanuel Yong, your Minister of Value.
