I pray so that God\u00b4s mercy fills your life today\r\n\r\nToday I would like to begin another topic called: \u201cHow to turn tragedy into triumph?\u201d\r\n\r\nThe world we are living in is full of tragedies, so the word tragedy itself is well known to all of us either christians or pagans. Though, studying the Bible, we understand that the in God\u00b4s initial purpose for human kind was something different. The Bible affirms God blessed a man.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abGod blessed them. God said to them, \u201cBe fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.\u201d\u00bb\u00a0(Genesis 1:28).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nNotice here that God did not curse but blessed them instead. It\u00b4s a God\u00b4s will and His purpose to make you blessed and happy person. That\u00b4s why I want to challenge you, dear reader, do not put up with anything in your life that doesn\u00b4t conform with God\u00b4s plan. Reject things that don\u00b4t meet God\u00b4s purpose for your life. Protest with all your strength and all your mind against any curse and inherit Creator\u00b4s blessings instead. You may know why and where the sufferings come from, but\u00a0you must also be aware of God\u00b4s love to you and His willingness to bless you.<\/strong>\u00a0Many people, led astray believe it is their destiny to suffer and spend the whole life in curses and sufferings. You must get rid of these thoughts and this will be the beginning of your victorious breakthrough from enchanted circle of unhappiness and constant grief. Thinking the way that somebody is the source of your sufferings you will not be able to receive any help from God.\r\n\r\nOne day I was walking in the park in Minsk when noticed one lady who looked upset. When I approached her to say that God loves her, but it made her furious. She replied with \u201cwhere was the God when I buried my son? Where was He, when called to Him asking to heal my husband? What wrong have I done to Him that He took away my son and my husband?\u201d\r\n\r\nThat beautiful woman became a victim of tragedy taking place in this world. Trying to understand what was going on she accused God. She shut her heart to His love. She simply didn\u00b4t realise that God loves her and wants to help her in her situation. Thanks God, at the end of our conversation she understood that God is not her enemy but Friend. She realised that He never takes away sons nor husbands. God is not the author of sufferings and tragedies.\r\n\r\nIt\u00b4s vitally important to have understanding of this kind, because this is where victory and changes in our life begin, in our thoughts. That\u00b4s why the Bible says that a man is as he thinks.\u00a0\u00ab..for as he thinks about the cost, so he is…\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(Proverbs<\/em>\u00a023:7).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThere is a way to a better life. There is an exit from tragedy and grief. Your hills of problems and tragedies can be turned into the stairs to climb the heights of God\u00b4s blessings and triumph. God\u00b4s desire is to show you how to live your life without worrying all the time and celebrate victory after victory, regardless of everything you\u00b4ve been or going through right now.\r\n\r\nGod blessed a man not only in the beginning, but even after the man had fallen into sin and lost the glory of God and His protection. God sent Jesus Christ to lay down His life for us in order to open the way to life abundant for all mankind. Through Jesus everyone may have life abundantly.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abThe thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.\u00bb\u00a0(John\u00a010:10).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nGod did not send Jesus to judge the world, but obtain salvation through Him (freedom from slavery, liberation from oppressing forces, comfortability and integrity, healing of all kind of wounds, safety etc.)\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abFor God didn\u2019t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.\u00bb\u00a0(John\u00a03:17).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nthis world can become safer to us. Our life can become safer. All these things are possible by faith in Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLet\u00b4s elaborate this topic tomorrow!\r\n\r\nLord bless you\r\n\r\nRufus Adjiboje, pastor","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world we are living in is full of tragedies, so the word tragedy itself is well known to all of us either christians or pagans.
