It is therefore great wisdom to make Jesus Christ your focus. May the Lord grant you grace to do so in Jesus’ Name.
When you walk with God for a while, you will come to realise that He specialises in bringing something good out of something seemingly bad.
This is why it is well said that opportunities are wrapped up in unpleasant packages. This truth was demonstrated in the life of Elisha (2 Kings 2:1-15).
To Elisha, losing his mentor and master was seemingly a bad thing, but this had to happen for Him to get promoted to the office of the national prophet and become a mentor to others.
Similarly, it was seemingly a bad thing when Jesus Christ had to be beaten and His body was torn in shreds.

After spending just three and a half years with His disciples, the time came for the Lord to leave them.This was an unthinkable scenario for them, and it was most undesirable! The disciples were not ready to let the Master go, not even when they knew that He needed to go to the cross in obedience to God.
In fact, Peter was prepared to involve himself in physical combat in his attempt to prevent Jesus from leaving them. However, Jesus needed to depart for the Holy Spirit to come.
Some people may have to leave the scene so that you can move from obscurity into limelight. Have you been left out in the cold? Something will happen that will cause a sudden divine remembrance of
you this season in Jesus’ Name!
King Uzziah had to die for Prophet Isaiah to see more clearly (Isaiah 6:1). The Lord will do something about
Both good and bad will work in your favourthis period! As bad as afflictions appear to be, 2 Corinthians 4:17 says they are actually working great rewards for us. May every seemingly bad event work for your good in Jesus’ Name!
