Just Around The Corner 3

Just Around the Corner part 3. The question has been posed,  what  is around the corner?  At first response I answered "I don't know". Who does?  God in His infinite wisdom has sent his word. Ecclesiastes 3 begins as such  For everything there is a season,  a time for every activity under the sun.  From verses 1-8 Solomon,  son of David,  gives us a list of things that could happen. For every high there was a low. And so today I say that what is around the corner is all of these. For you it may be the high or perhaps the low. However we are assured that there is a season of both.  I know that most of us hate the winters of our lives,  but it is needed.  God is not concerned with just our lives here but He is making us ready for eternity. 

Solomon continues his reflection in verse 11 to say this Yet God has made everything beautiful in its time. He has planted eternity in the human heart,  but even so,  people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. Here lies our problem. Solomon has captured the root of our angst.  We cannot see the whole scope. My friends it takes faith to believe that God intends for us to have a good end. Just around the corner means that we rejoice in  wherever we find ourselves now. 

James,  the brother of Jesus knew this truth.  He writes in the very 1st chapter "count it all joy when you fall into various trials..." He understood that there was a much bigger picture that we could not see. He understood that there was and is beauty in all things that God is doing. He got the point of God perfecting us from the inside out.

Friends life is beautiful even with the tears and the sorrow. Life is more than songs and laughter.  We get everything in the span of our life time.  I therefore besseech you to hold on to the hand of Christ.  He says He will not leave nor forsake us. He is with you now and will be with you around the corner.

Just Around The Corner 2

We were brought to the  book of Joshua by Minister Anita.  As I call the name Joshua my mind starts a list:
Joshua, Son of Nun.
Joshua, Successor to Moses.
Joshua strong and courageous as commanded by the Lord.
Joshua who stayed close to God,  obeying His every word.
Joshua who faced his corners with a faith that matured as He walked with God.


Are you like a Joshua?  I ask myself how did he do this?  Well it really is very simple.  He trusted God and believed His promise.  What was the promise you ask? I am happy to oblige in answering.  God told him,  I will not leave you nor forsake you.  Is that not what we want to hear?  Has this not been the same words that God has said to us?  Beloved Joshua was able to do all that he did because he was with God and God was with him. That equation is guaranteed to bring about a good end 100% of the time.


You might say to yourself I am not like Joshua. You think I have been on the shady side of things,  The truth is I have not been good and my life is really a mess.  I have a past that is dark and dirty.  Then my friend, look at Rahab.  Her list is as follows:
Rahab, Prostitute.
Rahab, Enemy/Spy hider.
Rahab, Liar.


If I stopped here it would leave you hopeless, but let's look deeper.
Rahab, Help to the Israelites
Rahab,  Converted to God
Rahab, Married and Mother of Boaz.
Rahab, mother-in-law to Ruth
Rahab, Great times many Grandmother to David
Rahab, in the lineage of Jesus, Messiah, The Anointed One - Christ.


She had no idea that around the corner was salvation. Not just for her but her entire family.  God does not discriminate against a heart that is repentant. My friends I believe the word of God from the book of Joshua is for you  today.  I believe  that it is a map to guide you around your corner.  Get in it. Pray it.  Believe  it. As God told Joshua, do not depart from it, looking neither to the right or to the left and wherever you go you will prosper.

Just Around The Corner

Just Around the corner. This is the theme on the Embrace prayer line. Min C Taffe brought a word that causes us to search ourselves.  Her word was Forerunner.  If I asked you the name of such a person in the Bible I bet not many,  if any would have said Elizabeth.  She was the person behind the scenes.  She was the forerunner to Mary,  carrying in herself the forerunner to Jesus.  In Luke 1, we are able to see what happened when Gabriel came with a message to this family.  He had a message of what was to happen around a corner of their life. But Min. Taffe highlighted  a few things.  There was an alignment of purpose between Elizabeth and Zachariah.  Friends who are you aligned with?  Are they apart of the promise or the pull of distraction?  Luke tells us in verse 6 that they were righteous,  walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. BLAMELESS. Can this be said of us? Yet the bible says they had no child. They were missing their hearts desire. They called her Barren. But just around the corner was fruitfulness.  Just around the corner was a wonderful change. Elizabeth was about to  be used in a plan that she never imagined.  It was so big that God would not allow her husband to speak death to it. Friends are you cursing yourself when God says you are blessed?
Elizabeth had a purpose that was for a nation.  What ever God has for you my friends is not just so you can enjoy and keep to yourself.  Your gifts are for a nation. It may be your house  or job or school.  It is more than just to make you happy.  Are you willing to be the forerunner for someone else? Are you willing to be behind  the scene? What you say now will determine how you respond to whatever is just around the corner.💕
