Enough of that ugly situation

Psalm 37:5: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”

Children of God are not by any means insulated from ugly situations.

For as long as they are on this earth, they will continue to experience one calamity or the other. This has nothing to do with the level of their fate or righteousness for crisis will come to them just as it will come to the wicked.

The difference between the children of God experiencing crisis and the wicked is their level of absorbing the shock that will follow and their response to the situation.

God’s management mandate is clear and emphatically stated in Genesis 1:26-30: “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27: So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created he them.

28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29: And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you, it shall be for meat. 30: And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

God created man in His own image and likeness. This simply means in His own nature. God equally created the resources of the earth for man to manage, so, he could multiply and replenish the earth. This is why God mandated man to dominate the earth, to be fruitful and to replenish the earth.

The word, dominate means to effectively manage the resources of the earth for further development. God did not instruct Adam to dominate other people of the earth; dominating people is a negative connotation of the word.

God told Adam He has given him herb-bearing seeds. Adam was to manage the seeds to bear fruits which he will use to take care of himself for further works and also to produce more fruits. Every seed needs effective management, so that, the proceeds will be beneficial to both the manager and those in need.

Genesis 2:4-5 says: “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

5: And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.”

God’s given resources need effective management to enable them be of benefit to humanity. God does not in any way encourage wastage that is why He gives people the resources they have the ability to take care of.

He who has more is deemed a good manager hence more will be given to him to take care of. People living in obedience to the words of God and His mandate will not suffer crisis or any calamity for long.

Hence 2 Samuel 24:16 says: “And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, it is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing place of Araunah the Jebusite.”

As long as we are on earth, children of God will surely face some calamities. Crisis will come, but it will not last long. God directed we should have dominion over everything He created; it is based on this that we are to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth.

Adam, the first man on earth who God issued this management mandate was a farmer, tilling the ground and managing the resources in the Garden of Eden. Adam never lacked anything. The same mandate issued to Adam has been handed over to us; hence we are not to suffer long in any ugly situation.

The lead scripture counselled us to commit our ways into God’s hand and He will lead us to success. If we are obedient to His instructions, we will be fruitful and our resources will continue to multiply to absorb the shock of any calamity.

God has given us seed-bearing fruits; the seeds are in form of talents, money, agricultural resources that could be worked upon or developed to bring out edible fruits. With the development of our talents, putting our little money into further uses will help us to multiple our resources and replenish the earth.

Every human being is prone to experiencing calamities, but the people under the will of God will come out of it unhurt. Continue to manage whatever you have effectively, they will keep on growing and you will not suffer ugly situations.

Isaiah 45:2-3 says: “I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.”

God wants all His children to be obedient to Him and work according to His management mandate, promising us more guidance for the discovery of how to make wealth. He is interested in our prosperity.

The lead scripture advises us to commit our ways into His hand, which simply means that we should be obedient to His words, follow His instructions and be diligent.

We should also have strong faith in Him and all ugly situations will fizzle away in Jesus’ name. It does not matter the ugly situation, once you depend on Him, you will not be disappointed.

However, for you to depend on Him, He must know you, in other words, you must make yourself a son/daughter of God. You must renounce your sins, forsake them and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

Testimony Of The Lord’s Doing
How God Out Of Nothing Made Me A Multi-millionaire
I Sam 2:7-8: “The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he bringeth low and lifteth up, He raiseth the poor out of the dust and lifteth the beggar out of the dunghill to set them among princes…”

The above quotations aptly depict the situation of Brother Ndubisi who was wallowing in abject poverty until God found him and blessed him abundantly. He testifies:

My name is Brother Ndubuisi Nweke, I hail from Ebonyi State, but I reside in Lagos. I joined this ministry in the year 2008.

Before I joined the Lord’s Chosen Ministry, I used to sleep in an abandoned vehicle at a bus stop with 14 other street boys. The police always come for us and sometimes we are held and other times, we escape. It was like living in hell because we were living in fear. This continued until someone invited me to this ministry.

The day l came, l overheard our G.O say, we should find something to do; then I was doing nothing serious, but later managed the N15,000 I had saved to open a business. I keyed into our G.O’s teachings and prayers and began to sell motorcycle spare parts and also started paying my tithe too; although little.

But one day, our G.O called for a pledge, saying anyone that redeemed the pledge will be mightily blessed, aside from becoming a millionaire. I made a pledge and by God’s grace, I redeemed it. Two weeks later, I experienced a boom in my business; customers began to patronise me beyond my expectations to the extent that I started saving N50,000 per week. I was surprised to know that I had saved up to N3 million when I checked my balance then.

However, today, by the grace of God, I am a multi-millionaire. The Lord has turned my situation around; He has broken the yoke of poverty in my life and family. I return all the glory to Him. May His name be praised forever in Jesus’ name!
