(Third part)
Memory verse: (Acts2:1-4) " When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance "
The turning point for the Apostles of the Lord Jesus came in one day. It was the day of Pentecost. All Jews from around the world had turned up to Jerusalem for the feast of Pentecost. Men had their plans but God also had a plan. God messed up the Jews day and instead poured out the Holy Spirit and revival broke out that left three thousand people converted in one day. All the Apostles were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, they began to write a new story, they began to cast out devils, they preached the gospel, they healed the sick, and they turned the world upside down. When God turns your life around, you begin to turn your world upside down. When God changes your life, you begin to change your world around you.
Our God reigns, he is Lord over seasons and times, He’s the Lord over circumstance, trials, diseases and problems. He is the Lord over what happens to us. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is in control over your destiny. Your nights may seem to be endless, but the truth is they are not. There’s no night without a morning. Your captivity has an end, your sickness has an expiry date, your tormentors has deadline from God, your enemies have boundaries set by God, God is reigning in the midst of your enemies. There’s a day God has ordained for your miseries to end. There’s a day when God will wipe away your tears. There’s a day God will send away your tormentors and send you comforters. There’s a day God is going to put a new song in your mouth and fill your heart with joy. There is day when God will do things in your life and it would seem like a dream.
I just want to encourage you to keep trusting God and don’t be disturbed by God’s silence. God does not need to be seen to work. We don’t need to feel, hear God to know that he’s with us and he’s working for our good. We don’t walk by sight or feelings but we walk by faith. Just get to know his promises in his word and believe them. God is in charge.
Tomorrow we will study about, ‘ God has a plan for your life’
