THE GLORY OF GOD
There are times in life God will permit some unpleasant occurrences.
This happens not because God is unfaithful, but because His intention is to make you a case study for generations.
You find yourself in a situation that you, and people around you, thought would end your life, your career, business, etc.
But to your amazement you came out clean, strong and as if nothing ever happened.
This isn’t about your strength nor your ability. That’s God fulfilling a scripture through you.
God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
Know that whatever you’re going through now is not meant to destroy you but it’s for the glory of God.
There are times God will allow an unrighteous Pharaoh to rule over you the righteous believer, not because He’s partial but because He will later destroy Pharaoh and use him to declare His name and mighty power.
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”
Romans 9:17
The fact that unrighteous ones are reigning now, doesn’t mean that to be righteous is weakness.
Your ungodly friends moving very fast and ahead of you now doesn’t mean that you’re late in destiny.
Remember you’re on a purpose journey, your assignment is different from theirs and the result you’ll get in the end can never be compared with theirs.
Jesus was known as a raiser of the dead just like other prophets before Him, and that was no longer strange to the Jews who had witnessed it.
Knowing this, Jesus wanted to show them that He’s God’s Son, the true Messiah and that He can do what no one else could.
In John 11:3 He was told that His friend Lazarus was sick. In verse 4 He said, “This sickness will not end in death. It is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
The Bible tells us that Lazarus died, yet Jesus stayed back for two more days before He arrived at Lazarus’s place in verse 17, after Lazarus had been buried for 4 days.
Then in verse 43, Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb and ordered people to take off the grave clothes and let him go.
Here’s the catch...
Verse 45: “Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did put their faith in him...”
You see, God wants your enemies, the antagonists who thought it was finished for you, to be the ones to circulate the news of your victory, your success and your miracles.
Your present situation is for the glory of God.
1) Jesus’ identity changed from a man who raises the dead to the One who performed a never-heard-of miracle before.
2) And Lazarus became a “Case study” to back up the saying “with God, nothing shall be impossible.”
You see, everything you’ve been through and whatever you’re going through now — it’s for the glory of God.
You’re not forgotten! You’re sent here so your story will be an access of hope for generations..
YOU WILL NOT MISS GOD IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN 🙏
