A God Of Positive Surprises

2 Kings 7:9-17

God is a God who schedules surprises into the life of His people.
God has good plans for your life.
Jeremiah 29:11
Part of that good plan God has for you are positive surprises.

Since God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or think He does it in a way that is a positive surprise to His people.
When God does exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or think it turns out to be a positive surprise to the recipient.
Ephesians 3:20,21

When Jesus turned water into wine it was a positive surprise to the groom and the chairman of the occasion.
John 2:8,9
What could have been a time of insufficiency, lack, difficulty, and embarrassment turned into a moment of praise, sufficiency, and satisfaction because Jesus Christ got involved.
When David killed Goliath, forty days of harassment came to an end for the Israelites.
1 Samuel 17:16
That day turned out a positive surprise for those in God's camp because God was on the side of a young shepherd boy.
When God delivered four lepers from hunger, poverty, and an uncertain future it was a positive surprise to them.
God gave them sweatless victory by an inspired thought.
2 Kings 7:3-8
Through prophecy God changed the economic situation of an entire nation within twenty four hours from famine to abundance, from lack to sufficiency.
2 kings 7:1,2
2 kings 7:19
That was a positive surprise.

There is something God will bring your way that will bring about your positive surprise.
-It may be a divine instruction (like Jesus gave at the marriage in Cana of Galilee)
-It may be an inspired thought (like the 4 lepers received)
-It may be a word of prophecy (like Elisah gave during famine)

There is something God has given you that can bring about your positive surprises.
-Your faith (like David when he faced Goliath)
-Your anointing (who teaches you in all things) 1 John 2:20
-Your hope (like Abraham who hoped against hope) Romans 4:18
-Your praise (which God loves and responds to) Psalm 22:3

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
