His Strategies

Friends,

1 Corinthians 1:27

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the

wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the

things which are mighty.

When the Lord accosted the Samaritan woman at the well by Sychar, He defied

the culture and practices of that time. Because His ways are not ours, He

sometimes works in the unfamiliar way to touch souls for His eternal glory.

Our world today is known for stereotyping, branding and confining the

workings and abilities of our Creator God in a box.

Isaiah 55:8

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the

LORD.

He loves sinners with a passion, but detests the sin and despicable acts

they practice and commit. This is the Lord's way and what's expected of us

in our walk. Alienation, division, and being critical of those that our

Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to save and rescue will only serve

counter-productive to the mission of the gospel. His divine strategy is for

all souls to come to repentance.

Brothers and Sisters let us be instruments in His divine strategy and not

barriers with prejudiced opinions of ourselves and others.

Be Encouraged,

Afolabi Oghafua
