YOU HAD A PUSH-BACK TO HAVE A BOUNCE-BACK

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.” 1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)

Beloved, nothing works against the believer! Whatever pushbacks you have suffered were not meant to work against you. The devil meant them for evil but unfortunately for him, it is in this same adversity that we know God better. You are still alive today, yet the devil never expected you to be around. According to the scriptures in Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (KJV)

Many have lost opportunities and have given up. But your case is different. God is saying you will enter your wealthy place. You had a push-back so you will have a bounce-back. And you will surely bounce back. They have not heard the last of you. You are springing a surprise.

If you look at events around you, it is so easy to begin to give credit to the devil that he is winning. That is a lie! Darkness can never win over light. We are the light of the world. The glory of light is made manifest more in darkness. Light shows more in darkness. You can never know how glorious light is when there is no darkness. It is during darkness that the glory of light is evident. Get ready, your glory shall be manifest.

In the Book of Isaiah 60:1-2, it is written: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (KJV).

Get ready, the spotlight is on you now. The devil will no longer hold you down. Your days of frustration are over. Your destiny is colourful, and it will never be aborted.
