Topic: Floating In A Sinking World [Seeds of Destiny Friday February 2nd, 2018]
Scripture: And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things,…and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. Genesis 7:23
Thought For The Day: God has already programmed your life to be different.
It has been established that God has an exemption and distinction plan for His people. This implies that we, as God’s children, are not permitted to experience the calamity the rest of the world is facing.
It has been said that example is the best way to communicate principles. So, it is good to look at the scriptural example of a person that God exempted and distinguished from others in his generation. This will reveal to us what God has purposed concerning us as His people. We are looking at Noah.
God exempted and distinguished Noah and his family from the world (Genesis 6:5-9). When the world was set for destruction, the Bible says, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:8).
The flood was sinking people but Noah was sailing on that same flood. Everyone sank and died but Noah and his family were lifted up and preserved. It confirms what Job 22:29 said, ‘When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up.
Everyone else may be suffering calamity and poverty, people may say that ministries do not succeed where you are or that people from your family do not marry on time, etc., but the truth is, God has already programmed your life to be different.
In Genesis 6:17-18, the Bible says, And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, …But with thee will I establish my covenant;…
No devil is devilish enough, no witch is witchy enough to cross the ‘But’ in God’s Word concerning your life; No ancestral curse or family covenant can cross the ‘But’ in the Scripture above concerning your life. It means you are exempted from the negative climate of the world.
Today, I announce that where everyone else experiences disfavour, you will be favoured.
Remember this: God has already programmed your life to be different.
Assignment (S):
1. Endeavour to be in the Will of God per time.
2. Always believe and confess that your case is different.
3. Be committed to covenant practices like tithing, giving, etc.
