“But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:18 – 19
The Holy Spirit is saying that the old Deliverance will be as nothing compared with the new. Israel must cast it’s eyes forward, not backwards. Every believer born again Christian must cast his or her eyes forward, not backwards.
William Odiambo left his village for the university in Nairobi going on to become a famous architect. After gaining great wealth, he lost it all because of alcoholism.
He returned to his village Mwingi with his wife and only child, a daughter on whom he doted. Their new neighbour owned a large, vicious dog. Although the towns people had asked the man to restrain the dangerous dog, he arrogantly refused.
As Odiambo returned home one day, he heard his daughter’s frantic screams. He raced to find her in the jaws of the neighbour’s dog. He managed to tear her from the dog’s teeth, but she died in his arms.
The town was outraged and shunned the owner of the deadly dog. He was a farmer, and no one would sell him seed for the next season. No seed, no harvest, no crop to sell, and he was broken. The act of unified revenge would drive him into bankruptcy.
But when the major farming season arrived, the neighbours were shocked to see Odiambo’s field was *only half planted, and his neighbour’s field was also half planted.* The evidence was obvious. Odiambo had crossed the fence at night to sow seeds in his neighbour’s field.
We have not practiced forgiveness until *we sow seeds in the garden of our enemies.* In whose garden do you need to sow seeds of forgiveness today?
LET’S PRAY.
May God give you the courage and strength to sow seeds of forgiveness in your enemy’s garden. When you sow in tears, you will reap in joy. This morning let every mountain of impossibility be dashed to pieces on your way to breakthroughs in Jesus name.
May God anoint your eyes to see your divine opportunities in JESUS name. Any set back walking with you, shall release you by fire, anyone vow against you and your children success shall fail and be put to shame in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen. Fountain to your life
