“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
This world can discourage and dissuade us from being the people that God created us to be. In our key verse, Jesus encourages us to “be of good cheer” – to take courage, to be undaunted, even filled with joy!
We have all compared our lives to those picture-perfect social media families and realized that we do not measure up. Our families are imperfect, fractured, and dysfunctional. Well, take courage! We stand in good company.
God does not discount imperfect families. In fact, He has a long history of using very imperfect fathers, mothers, and children to bring about His ultimate plans for good.
He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah. Abraham fathered a child with the “other woman” – flawed. Isaac and Rebekah played favorites and created a family rift that lasted for decades – flawed. Jacob’s eleven sons ganged up on their young brother and sold him into slavery – flawed. Judah slept with his daughter-in-law because he thought she was a prostitute – flawed.
All broken down and messed up, but through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah comes the very Son of God. So, be encouraged! A perfect God will take what the enemy intended for evil in your family and turn it to great good when you submit your all to Him.
LET’S PRAY.
May the Word of God be planted in the broken ground of your family to produce a future harvest much greater than any pain in your past. There is No Door that Mercy of God Cannot Open, It Opened Bartimaeus blind Eyes, Opened Elizabeth’s barren Womb, Opened the Red Sea for the Israellites and Terminated 430 Years of Slavery. As you Rise up this Day, all Angels of Help and Mercy shall Rise up and Work for You. Every Door of Blessings, Joy, Happiness, Prosperity, Salvation and every good thing shut against you shall be Opened for You in Jesus mighty name. Your life will attract Mercy and Favour in Jesus Name. Whatever and whoever is against your breakthroughs shall see the judgment of God in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
