Message
In Isaiah 66:1, God said, "The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. . ." Also, Deuteronomy 33:27 says that He has everlasting arms. Our God is a very big God, yet He can make Himself so small that He can dwell in your heart. 1 John 4:4 says that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God is so big that He can solve any problem just by speaking a word. When He speaks a word to you, your life will never be the same again. No person, problem, or situation is as big as the Most High God.
In 1987, one of our pastors had an extraordinary experience. He was a soap maker, and one Saturday, because he wasn't going to be working on Sunday, he decided to make preparations towards work on Monday while everyone else at his workplace had gone home. As he was mixing some chemicals, he fell, and a bowl of acid fell on his face. He cried out in great pain as the acid burned his face and eyes, but nobody was around to help him. Finally, somebody who was passing by the factory saw the door open, went in, and saw him on the ground, groaning in pain. He was rushed to the hospital, and after the doctors attended to him and treated his face, they told him that he had lost his eyes and would never see again. He said, "Oh, that's the doctors' report. Take me to the Redemption Camp. Let me go and hear Jesus' report." When they brought him to me, my faith was honestly shaken just by looking at him. However, we serve a very big God who is not moved by the things that move men; with Him, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). I began to pray, "Father, there is nothing You cannot do. Heal the eyes of your child. Give him brand new eyes." Today, the man the doctors said would never see again not only sees but also reads the Bible without eyeglasses!
Beloved, no matter how terrible some of the circumstances in your life might be, don't despair. Present them to our very big God because He is more than able to handle them. I pray that God will show Himself big in your life and turn any negative situation that may exist in your life around for good, in Jesus name.
