"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! " (Romans 11:33)
I wish for your life to be filled with the love and blessings of God. Now I want to share the grace with you through the message titled with "The Blessing of Reversal."
We often meet with unexpected happenings while living on this earth. No matter how you have planned in close detail and no matter how completely you have prepared, you may face unexpected troubles. Then, some of you feel frustrated and give up in the middle, while some others try their best to the end to the glory of God by faith.
A few years ago I conducted a crusade in Pakistan. The national law of Pakistan acclaims the freedom of religion, but in reality the nation persecutes Christianity. People of minority religions have many difficulties in getting jobs and they are violently attacked when they convert to Christianity. Legal recourse against such violence is difficult for them..
In that situation, many Christians of Pakistan needed a chance in which they could have the firm faith and confidence and courageously proclaim our Savior Jesus Christ like the early churches did.
That's why God let me conduct the crusade in Pakistan and show tangible evidences of the living God and testify that Jesus Christ is our only Savior.
The crusade organizing committee had publicized the healing crusade in various different forms of the media including television, daily newspapers, posters, banners, and placards. In the meantime there were several unexpected things that happened.
They began on the very day when we were supposed to conduct the healing crusade. The police closed the gate of the site of the crusade even though we had received the permission from the Pakistan government. They hindered the Pakistanis from entering the site. That was because so many Muslims protested against the government that they canceled our event for fear of terrorism.
In this difficult situation, all members of Manmin mission team confessed their faith. God was so pleased with this that He sent a high ranking Minister of the Pakistani government so that the gate of the site was re-opened.
Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." As our God says in this verse, if we please God by showing our faith, no matter what kind of problems we meet, amazing blessing of reversal come upon us.
Therefore, may you possess the faith in which you can really trust and please God in any circumstances and glorify Him all the time, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I pray!
