Text: 1 Corinthians 3:6
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
When we say everything you own does not belong to you, not even your life; somebody may disagree because he worked hard to earn them. But such a person has forgotten that some other people worked harder than him and got nothing out of it.
You can be a fantastic business strategist with highly impressive action plan but still experience colossal failure in the implementation due to reasons beyond your human control. Paul the Apostle wrote, “I planted, Apollos watered but God made it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:6
The horse may be prepared for battle but safety and victory comes from the Lord- Proverbs 21:31. Therefore, if you come back from that battle victorious don’t give the credit to your military skills or battle experience.
The successful driver is the one who arrived safely and not necessarily the man with the driver’s licence.
Always give glory to God for anything you achieve; don’t boast and don’t mock those who are still struggling. Just remain humble and grateful to the One who showed you mercy.
A couple may be both medically certified okay and yet find it difficult to conceive. No matter how hard they try they would be fruitless except if God decides to show them mercy. That is why the word of God says, it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that showeth mercy- Romans 9:16.
If you are therefore a recipient of God’s mercy, why not extend the same to others?
Prophetic Nugget: May the invisible hand of God work in your favour this season in Jesus name.
