TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
TEXT DEUTERONOMY 30:3-5
FASTING WILL MAKE GOD REMEMBER YOUR CASE.
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the utmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Many years ago, it was as if all the calamities of this life was headquartered in my life.
My life was practically speaking a relay of calamities.
I would attempt the same thing others casually do with great success, but whenever it's my turn, it will develop complications.
I lived a life that nobody remembered me nor extended to me and meaningful help.
Growing up, I saw myself severaly on top, but as I became an adult it was as if I was chained to an immovable rock.
I would weep although the night and wake up with tear-soaked eyes.
I knew I aught to be great but I was small.
I was advised severally to withdraw from all activities and move into the wilderness for a long fasting and trust God to remember me.
I resisted because I believed that as a born again child of God, I am above curses.
My travails continued until my life became a complete wreck.
At this point, I agreed because I actually had no choice.
I got to the camp on a Monday morning, I was doing a five day dey fasting with only water.
On the third night, I was driven into a trance.
I saw myself in a lonely place with a tap rushing with water.
I was so thirsty so I wanted to drink to help rehydrate myself.
It was the type of tap that is connected to boreholes in Africa.
It was a little above my head.
I put my head under the water would splash on my head.
To my great shock, as I washed my head with water, the water that got to the ground was as dirty as grease.
I kept on washing and would not know how long it took until the water became clean and I woke up.
I looked at my time, it was a few minutes after 11pm, I called my wife and told her that I was free at last.
I knew in my spirit that I was free.
I came back on Friday and a friend pastor Uzo Ogbonna came to see me.
We talked for a while and I told him that my phone had been off practically for one week.
Immediately I put on the phone, the first miracle started.
The procurement officer of a company that I had been doing small contracts for once in awhile was on the line.
She said, we sent you a purchase order for some procurement, are you not interested?
When I opened the email, tears of joy filled my eyes.
God had answered me.
As you continue with the ministry of fasting my God will remember you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
