Your Destiny Empowerment Daily Devotional (6th January 2024)

TOPIC: Turn Unpleasant Situations Around With Your Mouth

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1,4‬ ‭

*Message*

The imperfections of the current earth mean there will always be seasons of unpleasantness that are undesired and undesirable. Even Jesus didn't promise us as believers that there won't be storms at all in our journey through the current earth.

But as carriers of the God-kind of life, we have divine wisdom to soar above the seasons of unpleasant storms and turn the tides around for our own good. When seasons undesired come around your abode, utilize your mouth to turn things around for your good, by offering praise that touches heaven.

So, you see Paul and Silas in a painful and helpless situation (Acts 16: 16 - 34). But their mouths were not shut. See, tough times might push you to a hard corner - just make sure your mouth is not shut!
‭‭‬
*But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.* Acts‬ ‭16:25‬ ‭

This tough season was unable to defeat them since it couldn't make them shut their mouth, and the situation soon turned around for their good:
‭‭‬
*Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.* Acts‬ ‭16:26‬ ‭

The same unpleasant circumstance was the platform that showcased a dimension of glory in them, even bringing the Jailer and his family to Christ (vs 33).

*Your unpleasant circumstances are destined to be platforms for your glorification and furtherance of the purposes of God within your sphere.*

*Prayer*
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I receive grace and strength to sing sweet praises of You even while in the midst of unpleasant situations.

*Further Reading*
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans‬ ‭8:28‬‬
