TODAY'S RHEMA
Psalm 73:23-24 "Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory."
There is No limitation for the love of God to work in our lives. It happened to Iwan Suwito's life, an Indonesian's Sidney-based property king. He admitted that from Elementary School to High School, his academic achievement was far from the word satisfaction. Even he almost failed to move to the next grade every year. He felt stupid and incapable. After he graduated from High School, he continued his study in Australia. There, he met a woman who now becomes his wife. Through her, Iwan Suwito accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and savior. Drastic change happened in his life and it affected his college achievement as well. Finally, he finished his college study and by joining a competition, he achieved an award as "The Best Designer".
He then started his own business in architecture. When he got so busy doing his business and ministry, God revealed His promise to him "If you build My House, I will build your house. If you develop My work, I will develop your work." Without any experience and business relation and also with all limitation he has, he said that he just relied on God in developing his business. He truly depended on God, the One who enables and changes him. And on one day, God fulfilled His promise. His business, Crown Group, grew rapidly in 15 years and became one of the biggest property company in Australia.
If God lets you run business and serve God in certain ministry, be thankful. Those are the grace of God. Though you have certain limitation the most important thing to do is to give your best. Believe that His love is beyond all impossibilities. He can lift up and use what the world thinks foolish, weak, useless and even shameful. God does not only enable you, but He also promotes you and lifts you higher and higher. The great breakthrough will happen in your life and you can be blessing to many. Embrace your limitation, come to Him and see how great God's love in your life. Remain faithful and love God and He will add the unexpected things to you.
