YEARS AGO, I WAS DUPED BY A MAN! YEARS AGO, I was duped by a man who promised to make me a commandant of a paramilitary group. This man had been sending messages to me through my secretary for a while, and so, one day, I gave him audience. He explained to me how a Boy-Scouts-like group had evolved into this new agency, and that he was sourcing for who would lead the group spiritually. Normally, I ask God before getting involved in anything at all, but this time, my love for the military in my younger days beclouded my best instincts, and I agreed to be their head. He told me that they needed some funding, which I gave as the prospective head. However, I later found out that the man was a fake. My desire to be part of a paramilitary group made me run ahead of God, but God had already purposed for Redemption City to have its own corps of chaplains as well as a local Police post. He knew the desire of my heart, and He had planned for it to be fulfilled in His own time. I thought that I could bring my desire to fulfilment AT MY OWN TIME, but I was wrong. What I lost in that experience WAS MONEY, but for someone else, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THEIR LIFE OR A LOVED ONE. God makes everything beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The pursuit of the VANITIES OF THIS WORLD has robbed many people of far greater and better BLESSINGS FROM GOD. It is not bad to want to achieve something great or pursue a good cause, but if you try TO OUTRUN GOD, you may never achieve that goal, and worse still, you may pay for it with something VERY PRECIOUS TO YOU. God knows your desires; in fact, it is likely that He is the one who put them there. He knows the BEST TIMES and the BEST WAYS for those desires to be accomplished, so, don’t try TO ACT SMARTER than the One who made your brain. The Bible makes it clear that God delights in our well-being and prosperity (Psalm 35:27), (3 John 1:2). Therefore, it is not wrong to desire wealth. He will definitely make you prosper, but in His own time. Beloved, FOLLOW GOD’S TIMING; don’t try to outrun Him. Don't try to outrun God so that you will not LOSE FAR MORE THAN WHAT YOU SET OUT TO GAIN! But then, there are some of us who are reading this now and all we've been doing is TO ATTEND CHURCH - We've not really had a Relationship with Jesus Christ. If you have not really Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, Please do so today. Why? Another day like this may never come again. If I were you and I have not Surrendered my Life to Jesus Christ, I would do it today. I would take this opportunity, I won't let it go! So if you are ready to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ, do so now! And if you are Backslidden, come back to Jesus Christ. This is an opportunity of a Lifetime; Surrender your Life to the Light of the world. Let Light come into your Life today. I want you to cry to Jesus Christ yourself; call on Him and say: Oh Lord have Mercy on me. Save my Soul, I will serve You for the rest of my Life. Please, just forgive my sins and I will become one of Your Followers for the rest of my Life. Go ahead, talk to the Lord. May The Lord Answer Your Prayers. CONGRATULATIONS! THE GRACE FOR YOU TO WAIT FOR GOD'S TIME FOR YOUR LIFE, MAY THE LORD RELEASE IT TO YOU AND WHATEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE LOST IN THE PAST BY OUTRUNNING GOD, MAY THE LORD RESTORE IT BACK TO YOU IN HIS OWN WAY IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. #daddyeaadeboye
