TOPIC - Connecting to the Story Changer
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 2:7-9
MEMORY VERSE: “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” – Psalms 118:22-23
The MESSAGE:
The account of creation tells us that in the beginning, the earth was
without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The
Scripture did not reveal why God chose to start His creative work with a
chaotic mass that was dark, formless, and empty; but the Holy Spirit,
brooding over the waters, brought order out of chaos, and beauty and
fullness out of emptiness.
This is what God is doing today with the lives of all who would yield
to Him. He is a life transformer, a story changer and a glory
advertiser. He brings something extraordinary out of nothing. He brought
light out of darkness and made him to rule over the ground out of which
he came. What a wonderful God we serve! He is indeed a story changer.
He specialises in turning lives around, changes hopeless situations to
enviable ones, converts sorrows to joys, and takes away our burdens. He
made Abraham a fountain of blessings, turned ‘barren Sarah’ to the
mother of nations, promoted David from obscurity to prominence, and
elevated Joseph from prison to the palace. In several places in the
Scripture, God’s visitation brought about remarkable and unimaginable
lifting and victory to His children. This was what Hannah experienced
that made her worship the LORD in such a glorious way in our Fire
Scripture of today.
Hannah declared boldly “for by strength shall no man prevail”. She
recognised that the love and preferential treatment her husband gave her
could not deliver her much-desired miracle. Her daily sorrows and tears
were only making her adversary wax stronger. Nothing worthy of
celebration happened until she resolved to cast everything aside and
connect to the story changer. She did not even bother to rely on Eli,
the man of God, as many people do today. She focused her attention on
the God who is able to do all things. This connection changed her story
and made her to sing her song and dance her dance. Power indeed changed
hands in her life, and her testimony was truly exceptional.
You can take a cue from Hannah today and firmly connect to Jesus, the
story changer. If you are poor today, the LORD will make you rich. If
the enemy has brought you low, the LORD will lift you up. He will
transform your life, set you among the princes and make you inherit the
throne of glory. He will guard your feet and silence all the wicked
powers raging against your enduring laughter. Your story shall change
from the stone that the builders refused to the stone that is undeniably
the head of the corner. Your story shall continually be: “This is the
Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:GOD IS A LIFE TRANSFORMER, STORY CHANGER AND GLORY ADVERTISER.
PROPHETIC WORD:Time is up for the enemies of your progress.
