Sometimes – if not many times – we tend to overlook the power of God. We tend to consider or measure God’s greatness or power based on our own inabilities or limitations.
If something seems difficult or impossible to us, we also tend to reason that the thing might also be difficult or impossible to God. This is a very serious mistake on our part.
One of the things that make Him God, I suppose, is the fact that nothing is difficult or impossible to Him. Our God is great, not little. Our God is big, not small. Our God is powerful, not powerless.
Our God is limitless, not limited. Hence, we should not, and must not, treat Him as if He were little, small, powerless or limitless. There is nothing that is too big for our God, needless to mention the word “big.”
A man and his partner, for example, lost their first child and almost went crazy, thinking that all was lost. They reasoned that they would not get another child. Da anything for God?
When the fullness of time came, God blessed them with seven active, gifted, and sweet children. They could only smile and say, “Thank you, Lord. You are great!”
Also, a man divorced his beautiful wife whom he had been with for 11 years all because, according to him, the woman was barren. The woman left in tears, thinking that the entire world had turned against her.
She wept day and night hopelessly. But, da anything for God. When the right time came, the God of heaven and earth brought another man in her life and, in the space of 10 years, they born two boys and two girls. She could only smile and say, “Thank you, Lord. You are great!”
Similarly, a very hard-working employee, a trained technician, was dismissed without any genuine reason by his employer. He went home crying and contemplating committing suicide.
But, da anything for God? The following week, a friend called the unemployed guy and said that his company was looking for a technician.
He landed the job. He was paid more than two times the salary he made at his first place of work. He could only smile and say, “Thank you, Lord. You are great!”
Besides, two ten-year-old children, a boy and a girl, lost their father and their mother in a tragic motor accident. Their parents were everything to them and for them. When they died, the kids thought it was the end of the world. They were distressed and hopeless.
But, da anything for God? By God’s providence, one three months later, two wealthy humanitarian missionaries, a man and his wife, who had never had a child before and who were looking for two children to adopt, saw them and took them. It was the end of their troubles and the beginning of their blessings. They could only smile and say, “Thank you, Lord. You are great!”
Before I forget, one late night, a teenage girl was returning home from visiting her ill father at a hospital. Three heart men tailed her, determined to murder her. The men passed her in the dark, walked about five minutes and hid behind the dark left wall of a huge fence, a place suitable for the execution of their mischief.
But, da anything for God? When the girl reached the place ripe for her killing, the wall fell on the men, killing all three instantly. She could only smile and say, “Thank you, Lord. You are great!” To be continued… Anyway, my people, da how I see it-o!
