Genesis 2: 8
"The LORD God planted a garden and there He put the man whom He had
formed."
We see the LORD
God starts off with a garden and then He made a man and a woman. I read that
this is the law of location. I realised something the other day you will
succeed when you are where God wants you to be.
About two weeks
ago I hurt my wrist and I was in agony, my hand was constantly in pain. I
wonder if this would be the same for us if we are not in a place where God
wants us. It will be a constant pain. We will not succeed and things will be
wearing us down. I want to do God's will for my life, not my own.
One person I
think brings me back to my roots is Jonah, boy was he stubborn, he received an
assignment from God. God said Jonah go to Nineveh and preach to the people. He
didn't want to do that, he wanted harm to come to them. What happened afterwards
makes me think. Jonah ran away from God, jumped onto a ship and tried to go
into another direction. The fact of the matter is God, stop him on the sea, the
people he was travelling with lost everything, and in fear after praying about
it, threw Jonah overboard. Jonah ended up in the belly of a great fish and
later was spewed out onto the shore of Nineveh.
I believe the
harder the circumstances the more God is making you sit up and take notice. It’s
time for you to see the bigger picture. I don't want to be foolish and follow
in Jonah's footsteps; I am praying God will lead me.
I believe God
has placed me here and I am working hard at it, I am succeeding at most things
I do. God is blessing me because of the Lord Jesus Christ, not because I am a
good person. I read Paul prayed for relief, God told him, "My grace is
sufficient for thee ... 2 Corinthians 12L 9 KJV"
Prayer
O Lord, humbly I
come to You today, please bless my work, my projects and the people in my life.
Restore my relationships; please may I receive Your supernatural favour in my
life with You as well as with people. My fasting is for restoration in my
relationships, for peace in my heart and supernatural favour with You Lord and
people. Lord, You know where I am and what I feel, I pray let me see and
understand how Your grace works for me. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
