I ALMOST LET GO

This message was preached yesterday by Pastor Paul and he is sharing it with you because he loves you. Please, do enjoy your blessings.

I ALMOST LET GO

1Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it.

Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said "I will not make mention of His name, nor speak anymore in His name." But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones.

This message is for those who believe that the word of God is true but time is running out. "When God? And why God? Why me? Why do I have to go through this? Haven't I suffered enough? Why can't I be like that person or like this person?"

Everyone here has a story behind his or her glory. It is true that you have been through so much in life. I have been there, there were times in my life that I was bitter with God. I asked so many forbidden questions. I almost let go. I thought I wouldn't make it.

Jeremiah was a man of God. God brought him out of his hiding and positioned him for a mission. But like Joseph who had a dream and was able to interpret his dream, he was not told of how long it will take him to get there and he was not told of what he would go through to get there. Like Jeremiah there are some of us right now going through situations and the devil is encouraging us to let go.

Though we have painful stories but we are still alive. We are alive today to testify. The reason why we have to experience pains is to have the experience to help others. God who allows any situation to come your way loves you. He knows what He is doing. He knows that you are coming out of it because He has given you the ability to over come. These three things go together, ABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY AND BENEFIT. God gives ability before He gives responsibility and your benefit is tied to your responsibility. God will not ask you to lift a load that He did not give you the ability to lift. So anything you are going through right now will soon be your story. God is giving you a story to tell others. You are going through a situation for others right now.
In the midst of my tears and confusion God called me "Son! You are going through it for many souls and you must go through it for them." Now I can stand and talk about suffering, I have graduated from many schools therefore it is my turn to testify.
God knows about your situation more than you. He is watching you right now. Are you about giving up? Do you want to let go? Please, hold on because you are almost there. Your miracle is about to manifest. Before we pray please, enjoy this video clip "I almost let go" by Kurt Carr singers. http://www.youtube.ie/watch?v=sTQmgp1JppU
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I thank You for the ability You have given to me to over come. I accept my responsibility and I take my position to enjoy my benefit. I surrender all to you and I refuse to let go of my dream. I am holding on to You no matter what in Jesus' name. Amen.
