Message: Every now and then, the devil brings challenges the way of Christians. Sometimes, these challenges are so great that he is laughing already because he believes there is no way out, but I pray for you today: you will laugh last in Jesus’ name. Consider the story of the widow of one of the sons of the prophet in 2 Kings 4:1-7. She was heavily in debt and her creditors had threatened that they would take away her two sons if she didn’t pay up. After issuing the settlement conditions, the creditors must have gone away laughing because they knew the woman could not repay them and they were about to gain two slaves. However, by the time they returned to take her sons, because the Almighty God had already intervened, she had more than enough to pay her debts and thus had the last laugh. Before the end of this year, all those who think you are going to sink under the burden of debt will realize that he who laughs last laughs best.
The day my wife and I went to get married at the registry, there was a lady who came for the same purpose. She waited and waited at the registry but the boy who was to marry her did not show up. She really cried that day, but after some months, she moved on with her life, met another young man who was in the army and got married to him. A few years later, her husband became a State Administrator. In the meantime, the young man who jilted her had also joined the army and was assigned as the Aide-de-camp to the State Administrator – the lady’s husband. Thus, whenever she wanted to go out, it was this man who would open the car door for her to get in. He would have been her husband, now he was her servant. I pray for you: all those who have caused you to be mocked in the past, will come back to serve you, in Jesus’ name..
If you really want to laugh last, there are certain things you must do. First is that you must become a child of God. If you want God to fight for you, you have to be His friend. The second thing is to walk in love, even with those who have offended you. Romans 12:14 says “Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” Love your enemies (Matthew 5:44), leave vengeance to God and you will laugh last.
Hymn: Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Points: Father, don’t let the devil have the last laugh over me; please Lord, let me laugh last

Title: Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
Chorus: “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, lord unto me!.
1. "Great is thy faithfulness"
O God my father!
There is no shadow is of turning with Thee:
Thou changest not, Thy compassion, they fail not,
As thou has been thou forever will be.
2. Summer and wrinter, and spring time and Harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide!
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
