FROM BITTER TO SWEET

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 they could see turned to be “bitter”.

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 etc but at the point when you thought something great that will bring about a testimony, a turn around, a relief from all your toiling was coming, suddenly it turned bad, not what you expected, it tuned to be a huge disappointment

 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.

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 your case 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 its 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

BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW  GROUND Jeremiah 4:3, “Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns." Just like farmers have to prepare the ground to bear fruit, we must prepare ourselves to receive from God this year. We must be ready for greater glory. The expression, “Break up your fallow ground" means, to prepare your minds to bring forth fruit unto God. To break off your bad habits; clear junks from your hearts, work on your attitude, take away hatred, bitterness, lust, and greed. These are thorns that has been chocking your seeds, preventing them from germinating, and growing to maturity to producing fruits. In our passage, Jeremiah makes the people to understand that if they do not "Break up their fallow ground They will be sowing among thorns."  In other words, they will sow seed, but because they didn't bother to prepare the soil and pull out the thorns, the seed will have little or no effect.  You can't keep being the s

WHEN GOD IS YOUR SOURCE

Add caption WHEN GOD IS        YOUR            SOURCE Psalm 84:11, says: “No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” At the time when I and my family were going through some very difficult time, a period when all hopes was lost, and all was gloomy it seemed as though God has forgotten us and that God does not give good things to His children.  But in the midst of it all, we never lose our trust in God, we continued to ask of Him in prayers that our situation may change and He did not disappoint us. We made Him our source of supply for every need, we trusted Him for every detail of our life and we are still doing that till date. This is because we have come to know that God gives the best and His gifts has eternal value and anything the world didn't give you, it can't take from you. But whatever the world gives you does not have eternal value and it can be taken away. Thus we made God our source. Beloved, you also can do the same, let God be your sour
