FROM BITTERNESS TO SWEETNESS

FROM BITTERNESS TO SWEETNESS

When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means "bitter"). Ex. 15:23

The Israelites having journeyed for days without water in the wilderness was exhausted. The entire area is a wilderness and no water. Suddenly there is hope, they see water before them.

On sight of the river, after three days of thirst, they heaped a sigh of relief. At last there is water before them...

 Oh how joyous they must have been to find a relief.... But wait a second, their joy quickly turned sour, the blessing of the water was not what they expected, it is a bitter water. The only water turned to be “bitter”; bitter is form the Hebrew word for “marah”.

Their joy turned to sorrow, their soul was in pains, "how could God do this to them", they must have thought. They all complained and murmured as a result of the bitter water. This showed that their hopes were dashed. They would need to walk another distance to get water, oh how frustrating and huge disappointment it must have been.

 In the midst of their pains, confusions, and bitterness, God stepped into the situation and did what he knows how to do best. "MIRACLE" "TRANSFORMATION" "RENEWAL" Thus he turned bitterness to sweetness.... And the bitter water was transformed and made sweet. That which was not right was made right.

Many of us have walked a long distance with the Lord expecting something good, miracles, good health, financial increase, enlargement, business breakthroughs, success in ministry, however, at the point when you thought something great that will bring about a testimony, a turn around, a relief from all your toiling is about to breakforth, then, suddenly, things turned bad,  not what you expected, it tuned to be a huge disappointment and brought you bitterness.

Many have found no hopes anymore. Many have believed in God’s word for several years, or His promises, only to come to a place of discouragement due to issues of life.

Now hope is dashed, faith is weakened, you can't seem to have the courage to pray, today the GOD that stepped into Israel's situation is stepping into yours and he is doing what He did in the old. He is touching your life and turning every pain, every sorrow, every bitterness to sweetness.

Oh yes child of God, I tell you there is hope. The Lord is turning your bitterness into sweetness. He is granting you refreshment on every side. Therefore don’t give up, you will metamorphose  from bitterness to sweetness.

TODAY, I declare that all your bitterness, disappointments, confusions, near-success-syndrome have come to an end in Jesus name, Amen!

COME UP HITHER

COME UP HITHER And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:12 KJV The call of the Spirit of God is always to a Higher Place, to see more, to know more, to receive more and to be more in God. The Christian Life by design is one of ever increasing glory ..... No glory is ever enough, we are to Go Up Hither for more glory because it is always from one level of glory unto another. 2Corintians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Similarly, in Proverbs 4:18 we are told, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . There is always more and more and more for us to grasp in Christ but for us to get them, we must Go Up Hither. It is in the place of Going Up Hither ...

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED  By Elizabeth I. Abaye Oftentimes, when things are not going in our direction or in the way we expected.... When life becomes rough and unbearable people begin to think that something is wrong with them or that they have been given bad destiny. This is the reason many pray for God to change their destiny.... They even sing it in worships. They tend to forget that they are God's creation and His dear children and all that God made is good and his seed is in all his children. There's none made or born with defected destiny... You are perfectly made with a marvelous destiny. Now look at what the scripture says about the good seed, He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;  Matthew 13:37‭-‬38 (KJV), Are you Born Again? then you have the seed of the glorious God  in you because you're His dear c...

 KEEPING THE RIGHT COMPANY  By Elizabeth I. Abaye  1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Don't be deceived, bad company corrupts good character." (CEB)  The people you hangout with, and spend time with matters in life and can affect your purpose positively or negatively.  You are born to be great but you can't achieve greatness by spending time with the scornful, the unserious minded people. Keeping the right kinds of company will add value to your life.  They are many who get inspiration from God that would have taken them to their estate of greatness but because they have been mingling with the wrong set of  people, they are not able to put their God given ideas to work.  Every time spent with those who are not doing any relevant thing to move their life forward to the next level is a waste of your potential. And for every wasted time you lost, you are losing great opportunity and money. You need to put your potentials to work so you can achieve purpose an...
