NEW EXPERIENCE

Before I continue, I need you to say it aloud (NEW EXPERIENCE!)…

It sounds so fresh, so real yet almost so impossible.

We live in a world where everything seem so old and reoccurring and making king Solomon to say emphatically that there is nothing new under the heavens (Eccl 1:8 & 9). The question then is, Can there be any New Experience or is this yet another attempt to raise your hope falsely? I will leave you to answer this question later but one thing that is certain for all (both those doubting and those who believe) is that there is a new experience coming your way that you will testify that this is certainly different from the way you used to see it.

STORY 1: FAMINE ENDS IN 24-hours
I will like to run our minds back to the story told in the book of 2 Kings 6:24. There was a great famine In the Land of Israel, the famine was so great that they got used to the famine; So great that women who went through hard labour could still cook their children and eat just to preserve the rest and the king swore to kill the prophet Elisha if a difference was not seen. In 2kings 7:1 Elisha replied the king’s messenger “Listen to this message from the Lord! This is what the Lord says:  BY THIS TIME TOMORROW (A guaranteed prophecy with an exact time stamp) this famine will be completely forgotten”  the truth remains that by every human calculations and educational theories, it is a gross impossibility! Even planting require a minimum of 3 months and the King’s Officer laughed and said something so stupid! “This cannot happen even if the Lord OPENS THE HEAVENS”(2kings 7:2) and you know the rest of the story… Did it happen? What happened to the doubting King’s Officer? I leave you to answer that question.

STORY 2: BARRENNESS STORY CHANGED TO LAUGHTER
Let’s also run our minds to the first set of miracles recorded in the bible (ABRAHAM AND SARAH)
Abraham already approaching 100 years of age and having only one son to his name (Ishmael) was promised a Son by GOD HIMSELF and he laughed seriously because he knows that nobody can bring back his youth to father another child but God gave him a specific date to wait and expect his Son. Gen 17:21 “…My covenant will be confirmed with Isaac (A name was given to the son by God before even conception), who will be born to you and Sarah BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR(Specific Date indicated).

God appeared again to Abraham but this time in the presence of Sarah to assure him that He has not forgotten the promise He made to Abraham with the same specific date not just a prophecy “I will return to you BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR.”(Gen 18:10) and as usual the wife laughed and God asked her IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE ALMIGHTY? And you know the rest of the story… Years of Barrenness changed to fruitfulness.

STORY  3: NAAMAN (2kings 5:1)
The story of Naaman is no new story to us, he had leprosy and was introduced to the God of Israel by a serving girl, He had no choice than to believe and he was healed despite his initial pride.

STORY 4: Jabez (1 chronicle 4:9 & 10)
The story of Jabez is a remarkable and popular story, in just 2 verses, a man’s story was written and concluded… He started as a man of pain, sorrows, misery, and he Ended as a man WITH AN ENLARGED COAST…

STORY 5: The Man at the Pool (John 5:1-15)
This story is also no new story at all, The Name of the man was never mentioned in the bible but his story was. He was having the same experience for 38 Years, think about it, 38 straight years of the same problem, 38 years of being in the same position, he became conditioned to his condition to the point that he believed that he can never be healed. The story ended well and he experienced what it felt to move around.
God has not stop doing miracles, he has not stop changing things, no matter how hard it seems humanly, there are no Impossibilities before him and I believe you already know that. God is still in the business of changing life and giving people new stories and new names. IF God can end Famine in 24 hours, Barrenness instantly, Blindness by just a wash, Leprosy by just a bath, Bedriddeness by just a sentence then the question still is WHAT CAN’T HE DO FOR YOU (Romans 8:32).

I can go on telling stories about the many things done to people, Blind Bartimaeus, Lazarus, Joseph, Elijah and the likes… I am in fact tired of telling their story and I hope to publish one incredible testimony after this month from you. All you need is just being steadfast to God this month and I give you this assurance, EITHER YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT, the word from the altar is certain and true and your Journey unto new experience is just starting and BY THIS TIME NEXT MONTH, your testimony will be so big that you cannot hide. Believe it or not… A space will be given to the most outstanding testimony for the month of June.

Say this aloud I WILL EXPERIENCE SOMETHING NEW THIS MONTH!!!

I will leave you not in doubt but in expectation of something new that is about to lead to your BREAKTHROUGH this month and I know that you will not miss out this month
