MESSAGE:

Some years ago in Lagos, a tragic accident occurred. The brakes of a heavy goods vehicle failed as it descended a hill. It lost control and rammed into a series of shops by the roadside. Those inside and outside the shops lost their lives, at least 40 persons were reportedly dead on the spot. Some sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital but did not recover. One of the survivors was an owner of one of the shops selling handset accessories. Before the accident, he sold an accessory to someone. The buyer later returned with a policeman to arrest him for selling a bad accessory to him. They left the shop and crossed to the other side of the road waiting to board a taxi to the police station when the accident occurred. They stood still as they watched it happen. Though the man did not enjoy being arrested, the incident was his saving grace.

When a seemingly negative event happens to a Child of God, it is for the good of that fellow. So long as you are in right standing with God, whatever difficulty you or your family is going through right now is for your good. Just continue to walk according to His purpose and He will bring you to a glorious future

Prayer Point:

Father, please let everything work together for my good this year in Jesus name.

Hymn: My Faith Looks Up To Thee

  1. My faith looks up to Thee,
    Thou Lamb of Calvary,
    Saviour divine!
    Now hear me while I pray,
    Take all my guilt away;
    O let me from this day
    Be wholly Thine.
  2. May Thy rich grace impart
    Strength to my fainting heart,
    My zeal inspire;
    As Thou hast died for me,
    O may my love to Thee
    Pure, warm, and changeless be,
    A living fire.
  3. While life’s dark maze | tread,
    And griefs around me spread,
    Be Thou my guide;
    Bid darkness turn to day,
    Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
    Nor let me ever stray
    From Thee aside.
  4. When ends life’s transient dream,
    When death’s cold, sullen stream
    Shall o’er me roll, Blest Saviour, then in love,
    Fear and distrust remove;
    O bear me safe above,
    A ransomed soul.
