ASHES: Ashes-From UnexPected Places @ Unexpected Times

Jacob was all alone as he slept in Luz because the sun had set.Lonely,fearful,anxious like many of us. He was a runaway kid. he had to do so to escape from his brother,Esau.He had just one good thing here, the father’s blessing. He slept on one of the stones there. He dreamt like never before,He saw the God of His fathers in the dream and a ladder that had angels descending and ascending. From the top the Lord spoke..many promises. The Lord said one more thing”I will not leave you until I fulfill all what I spoke to you”. Child of God remember, He is committed to fulfill what He has promised you.! He who called you is faithful,he will do it. The point I want to make here is God shows up in the place where you do not expect Him to be.jacob woke from his sleep and said “Truly this place is awesome”>he renamed Luz to bethel.

Moses was completely out of place. He was skilled in Egyptian warfare and had many “talents” and now He is grazing sheep of his father in law in Midian.Like Jacob, completely “out of place” He even named his son “Gershom” meaning” iam a stranger in an alien land”. He “accidentally” came to the mountain of God. He saw a great sight n the most unexpected place.He suddenly was standing on “HOLY GROUND”. Dear friend,God shows up when you give up. He will never forsake you. He knows you. He calls you by name as He called from the burning bush”Moses,Moses”.He has a great plan for you. Do u think you are in a place where you don’t like to be ??”out of place”He is going to show up soon and give you a new direction and guidance.!!

Elijah was sleeping all alone,dejected.He came till the wilderness, trying to hide away from Jezebel. He could not manage then.he slept,but God of Israel who never sleeps nor slumbers watched over him. The angel came and woke him up and gave him food to eat and strengthen him.Elijah never expected God to show up there,soon He was experiencing Fire, earthquake and wind ,but God was not there.A still small voice,he had to be silent so much,wait so much.But God showed up,the still small voice gave Him a ministry of anointing.!!

Look at the crooked hills of calvary,it was a “thankless, ruthless” mankind.Noone would dare to save the planet, but God wouldn’t leave it .He showed up himself to the world on that manger.He exposed His love as He died on that cross.Still He shows up to you in your grief, in your struggles,in your weakness,in your loneliness,in your tears! Expect Him to show Himself in the unexpected way in the unexpected place!!

“to the old rugged cross,I will ever be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away

Where His glory forever I’ll share”

Maranatha
