GOD WILL SETTLE YOU

Talk about meanness!! These men will pick young boys from very poor families in the villages. They will promise to settle them with huge sums of money if they should serve them for certain number of years. During this period, such young men are almost reduced to the status of slaves. Just a few months to the agreed period, the business owner comes with an accusation. If he did not say that the young man stole his money, he will come up with another serious accusation. At the end of the day, the young man is driven out without compensation for his labour. Talk about the heart of man being desperately wicked.

Our God is not like that. He is forever faithful. 1Peter 5:10.says,  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. What a beautiful scripture!!!!

The Lord will settle you. Remember that Jesus is our perfect example in all things. Scripture says that He learnt obedience through the things he suffered. Sometimes, suffering could be a friend. As we go through the furnace, all the dross is burnt out leaving the glory and beauty for all to see.

As I took time to explain in HOW TO FLOURISH IN SEASONS OF RECESSION, our God has created the different seasons of life. Can you imagine what will happen if all we had was winter? What if it was only rainy season we have. Do you know that the ground will get so wet and soggy and everything will crumble? How about if we had only the dry seasons? You can be sure that all things will get scorched.

I just want to encourage you this morning. That trial will not last forever. I have spent the last few days giving God praise for one of our friends. He went through one of those tough trials but suddenly, the trial ended in praise, Hallelujah!!! Our faithful God that settles His own settled him. Yours will not be impossible with Him.

You are blessed.
