QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

WOMEN, DO YOU DARE TO CHANGE GOD’S WRATH?


There stood a Prophet of God in the midst of a town named Nineveh and shouted: “Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown.”
What made him to cry against an entire city? Let’s read Jonah 1:2
“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.”
It is not the cry of a prophet alone; it is the cry of the God that came through a Prophet to that entire town.
God’s wrath came on that entire city because it was filled with wickedness. God gave them only forty days to see their reaction to His wrath. God in His divine wisdom and anger, decided to overthrow the entire city.
But Bible says in Jonah 3:10 “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do to them and He did it not.”
It is true that God decided to destroy Nineveh but it is also true that God changed His anger and He had not destroyed the city.
Why God has not destroyed Nineveh?
The wicked people of Nineveh repented from their evil way and pleaded to God having little faith that God might change His mind. And indeed God’s anger is changed. It took only few days for the people of Nineveh to change God’s wrath.
Let’s now turn our attention to another incident in which God’s anger revealed.
Genesis 3:16 To the woman He (God) said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children…..”
Eve has done a wicked thing and that brought God’s curse on the entire community of woman. But it is really sad to know that how we took it in our lives as a normal issue. Even so many hundreds of years after that incident which has happened at the Garden of Eden, till now women are suffering due to the pain of the child birth.
“The pain of childbirth shock modern mother and having a baby has become a terrifying and shocking experience for mothers” says a recently concluded survey.
It took only few days for the wicked people of Nineveh to change God’s wrath but it is taking several years for us to change God’s wrath but still we have not succeeded in that.
Bible tells us in Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.”
If at all today you believe Jesus Christ as your savior, why are you carrying God’s wrath even in your life now. You should learn to overcome God’s wrath. Jesus Christ bore all your curses on the cross but yet why are you still holding onto His wrath that came on the mankind several years ago.
Put your faith in God. Claim God’s blessings of cross. I strongly believe that if we claim what Jesus Christ has done for us in the cross and plead to Him in faith, He will remove the curse and wrath that we are carrying for years together. And if we suceed in doing so, surely there won’t be any pain during the child birth.
Nineveh people changed God’s wrath in few days. Then why can’t we do that in our life. 
My dear women, do you dare to change God’s wrath?
