*Theme: With Jesus there is Hope
( Jeremiah 13:1-11, Ps (Deut 32), Mat 13:31-35)
Jesus uses the Parable of the Yeast and that of the Mustard Seed to teach that his presence brings differences in our lives. The mustard seed is the smallest seed but grows and becomes a very big tree, which becomes very useful to both man and animals. In the beginning, it seems not to have any good future, but later it proves it doubters wrong. It present a hopeless beginning, but later becomes a very useful tree.
Beloved, It doesn’t matter where you are coming from or your humble beginning. You may be a carpenter’s child or from a poor background just like Jesus. But ones the favour of God locates you, your story will definitely change. People will be very surprised just like the case of Jesus. Therefore, don’t belittle yourself or anyone because we don’t know what tomorrow holds for all of us. Just remain faithful to God. Great people mostly have humble beginnings.
It is only God who can change you from nobody to somebody. People can write you off, thinking that you don’t have any future. But when divine favor locates you, your story will change. Don’t allow inferiority complex to control your life. As if to say that you can’t become anybody in life because of where you are coming from. It doesn’t matter where you are coming from okay. God is able to make the impossibilities to become possible. To put hope into hopeless situations. To put life into dead situations. You only need the *Jesus’ factor.
*
Some of us belittle ourselves too much. As if God doesn’t have the power to change your story. Jesus will let your star shine for nations to come and bow to you. God will raise you to be among kings and queens. Who was David to become King of Israel? But when the favor of God located him, the impossibilities became possible in his life. Look up to God, the author and finisher of our faith. It is only God who can turn things around in your life, but not human beings. Human beings will discourage you, look down upon you, insult you, disregard you.
Don’t give up on yourself. Once there is life there is hope. Life is a sign of hope. Bring Jesus into the situation and things will turn around. I give you Jesus today. Be a beacon of hope in your family, church, work place and everywhere.
May God grant us the grace to always trust His promises in our lives and the fact that he can change our story. Amen .
Have a Blessed week
Shalom🙏🏼🙏🏼
