We serve a supernatural God. I believe many times we forget that. God is the WOW factor in our lives.! He is constantly working on His children’s behalf.
Now, Satan does not want us to be aware of this. He is constantly stealing, killing and destroying the things of God in our lives (John 10:10, Mark 3:20-27). This is why the Bible tells us to remember the things God has done for you (Isaiah 46:9). Of course, we really have to use our spiritual eyes to see this.
Using our spiritual eyes is walking in the spirit. Further, it is an intentional walk with Jesus everyday. Moreover, we open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit to speak to us. God becomes our constant companion. We engage with Him throughout the day.
When we are paying attention to God in our lives we realize the many things He is doing for us DAILY. Recently, I attended an event at one of my alma maters. They were recognizing alumni who have small businesses. Upon arrival they asked those of us who have business cards to drop our cards in the bowl for a prize drawing. I dropped my card in the bowl.
This week I received an email saying I won the prize drawing! I thought, God did it! In my conversations with Him I am asking Him if I am on the right track? Am I doing things the way He wants me to do them with ministry?
Many times God will send us encouragement or close doors to direct us. If I am intentionally looking for Him I am going to be sensitive to God’s spirit around me. For example, while attending the small business event, I saw a wall art that said “Despise not the day of small beginnings, Zechariah 4:10.” That spoke to and encouraged my spirit… God Did It! That was His way of encouraging me to move forward! Needless to say, we are a very small ministry at this point.
Later, in the week, I was talking about the goodness of God to a group. I shared about the ministry and the plans He has for it. Additionally, I spoke about the repellent He gave the ministry to have funds. As a result, I remembered those things He had done for me in the past. When it seemed like I was on the wrong track God became the powerful Wow Factor! For sure, He let me know I was on the right track! This was ENCOURAGEMENT from Him!
When I checked my messages later that evening, I discovered someone I had never met ordered three repellents! That was God! God Did It! God is our Wow Factor! I believe God put a desire in this person’s heart to order the repellent. When I met the person, they were in definite need of repellent! That confirmed to me God is working and leading me in the right direction… AMEN!
