*YOUR TESTIMONIES BEGIN IN THE DARK*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  20 August 2023*


SCRIPTURE: And God called the Light Day, and the Darkness he called Night. And the Evening and the Morning were the first Day - *Genesis 1:5* 


*Each Day begins in Darkness, before the break of Day.*


The Evening and the Morning make a Day. 


When a Day starts at twelve Midnight, it is still Night. 


Darkness is often  associated with evil and Unpleasantness. 


For instance, the Bible says weeping may endure for a Night but Joy comes in the Morning - *Psalms 30:5*


Horror is also associated with Darkness.


The Bible says, an horror of great Darkness fell on Abram - *Genesis 15:12*


In Divine Arrangement, a Day begins with the Night. 


This tells us that every Unpleasantness is the Raw Material for a Great Testimony. 


When the man born blind received his Healing, He testified and said whereas I was blind, now I  see - *John 9:25*


*Therefore, whenever we are pained, afflicted, troubled, and distressed, we should remember the following:*


*(1)* Our God is not asleep - *Psalms 121:4; Exodus 3:7*


*(2)* We may have been abandoned by Men, but God is at work in our lives, even when we can't see any Signs yet. 


Whenever the Midnight is giving birth to a Day, there is a Shift which is not Noticed initially.


It was not the day Jesus healed the Mad Man of Gadara, that his Miracle began. 


His Miracle began the Day Jesus said, 'let us Pass unto the other side'. 


Satan knew what their Mission was and sent a Strong wind to stop them, but Jesus rebuked the Wind - *Mark. 4:35-39*


*(3)* Our Troubles may be Lasting, but they are not Everlasting. 


All will soon be over in our favour - *Psalms 30:5, 2 Corinthians 4:18*


*(4)* The Opinion and the Attitude of Men can't stop what God is doing.


The Negative responses of Men should not discourage us, since it has no input in the Process of our Testimonies - *Daniel 4:35; Isaiah 14:27; Lamentation 3:37*


*(5)* We need to cooperate with God for the Delivery of Miracles, by not despising what He is doing in the dark on our behalf - *Proverbs 1:24-28*


*It is the Will of God to turn your Night to Day, so that His Name will be Glorified.*


*Prayer:*

Father, give me the Grace to rejoice always, and never lose my Praise in the dark.

EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE?

  *EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE*?                                     Another reason many have dissolved or gone extinct is that the visionary is unwilling to stretch.   They are not flexible or willing to change their ways; they prefer to stay the same. They don't want to be bothered with having to learn new things, meet new people, do it differently, or add a new twist to it.   It may even entail spending more money, and you may even risk losing money, clients, or staff.   Stretching entails a great deal; it challenges your brain, alters your thinking, is demanding, and entails a new level of commitment and responsibilities.   They are afraid of confronting new challenges because it is like starting over.Maybe you should be told that the world is no longer in its primitive state; it has grown beyond where it was when you arrived.    As it grows, things wear out and new things emerge because those who came before you accepted the challenge. They took

He Positioned himself where he would see Jesus, he climbed a Sycamore tree. Jesus entered into hi

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                                *THE SEA IS NOT FULL* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  18 March 2024* SCRIPTURE: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the Place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again - *Ecclesiastes 1:7* *The sea is never full because from whence the rivers come, there they return again.* *The water Cycle otherwise known as the Hydrologic Cycle involves the continuous flow of water from the Earth to the Atmosphere. It is a never Ending Cycle.* The Bible says, cast thy bread upon the waters, for after many days thou shall find it again - *Ecclesiastes 11:1* *Many Inferences to draw:* *(1)* Living is Seeding.
