Today we are already a week into Lent.
Jonah 3:10 “When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, He repented of the evil that He had threatened to do to them; He did not carry it out.”
The Lord promised us on the first day of lent that” Now is the acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation!”[Cor 6:2]
The Lord wants us to have the greatest expectations for Lent.
Don’t think the Lord won’t convert evil people whereever they are, entire cities, countries, lukewarm christians , our families and our enemies.
Hebrews 3; 7 “If today you hear His voice harden not your hearts”
God uses the joys and tragedies of life to sensitize us to His amazing plans for this Lent. He wants us to expect nothing less than the glories of Easter, that is, risen life forever with Jesus on earth and in heaven. The Lord graces us this Lent to expect “Immeasurably more than we ask or imagine”.[ Eph 3:20 ]
One -hundred and twenty- thousand citizens of the extremely violent city of Niveveh converted in one day at the prophetic word of Jonah.
The Lord once again did the impossible, since”For God all things are possible”[Mt 19: 26].
Don’t ever tell the lord He cannot do something. Look at history. When God Himself becomes a man, dies on a cross, and rises from the dead, what great miracles of conversion should we expect from such a God!
Prayer ” Father, get me out of the rut of weakened faith. Beginning this Lent, may I ride on the heights of faith” [Is 58: 14].
