Deuteronomy 23verse5: “Nevertheless, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”
You are welcome to our discussion on the God who specializes in turning things around for the better. I am sure you are being blessed and encouraged by the things we have shared so far. Our Heavenly Father is the Ultimate Game Changer. No one can turn things around as he does and he is very much committed to doing such in your life. This is why this series of lessons have been coming your way, so get ready for a mighty visitation in this area. From our last lesson, I shared with you how our God turn Things Around in our lives. Today by his grace, I intend to continue with that, I hope you are ready for this. So here we go!
HOW GOD TURNS THINGS AROUND
4. By turning little into much. This is another powerful way he moves in turning things around for your good. Little becomes much when you put it into his hands. This was how Jesus multiplied the five loaves and two fish. He did the same thing with the seven loaves and few fish too. The fact that he performed this miracle twice is indicative of two things:
– He was teaching us an eternal principle.
– That this miracle can be replicated.
So what do you have in your hands today? Are you willing to put it into his hands? Are you ready to do his bidding? As you move in obedience to his instructions, may the miracle of multiplication visit your home and endeavours (Matt.14v19; Ps.22v30).
5. By turning hopeless situations around. Yes, my God specializes in reversing the irreversible. There is no hopeless situations with our God. It’s never over with our God! Men and Society may have given up on your case or matter but my God can do what no man can Do! So never say Say! The verdict of Men is not necessarily the Verdict of Men! The same God who visited the woman with the issue of blood and turned her story around for the better is still alive and he will give you a reason to rejoice once again. So Don’t Give Up Yet. There is still hope for you. Your expectation won’t be cut off (Mk.5v25-34; Job 14v14).
6. By restoring back whatever you have lost or was taken away from you. What have you lost? What has been taken away from you? He can restore it back in fact on a double fold like he did for Job (Job 42v10-12). He can restore back wasted years or opportunities. I have seen him do this again and again. So don’t throw in the towel yet. The God of Restoration is still very much alive. I can see him restoring you back to a better position and status but you need to believe him and also walk with him closely. I want you to remember that he is still the same God. He is never weary nor tired. Your Restoration is here! If you believe it, say a big amen (Joel 2v25-27).
7. By suspending the laws of nature for you. When he does this, a miracle is usually the resultant effect. This is one of the ways he turns things around for his people. It’s his method and style of operation. He has not retired when this kind of operation. He is still very much in the business of suspending natural laws for the sake of his beloved. And since you are precious and dear to him, you can expect the same from Him today. I see him bending the rules to favour you. I can see him altering the laws to favour you. The God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is still very much alive. The God who shut the mouth of the lions that they could not hurt Daniel is still very much at work. He will intervene in that matter. He will give you rest if only you will believe him. If only you will obey him. If you only you will trust him. He will do his strange works and acts in your life. So are you ready for his Mighty Visitation? (1Ki.17v1-7)
Dearly Beloved, I hope your faith has been stirred up today! Don’t limit God! So Allow him to help you turn things around for the better.

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, I believe that there is nothing that you can’t do. Please help my unbelief in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: My God is turning little into much for me. He is turning hopeless situations around for my good. He is also restoring back to me all that I have lost. He is restoring back my joy, strength and all my wasted years. He is doing his Unusual Works in me. He is altering the laws to favour me. He is my Miracle Worker! He is giving me a New Song! He is giving me a New Name! I am a recipient of his Mercy and Grace. For my God is turning Things Around for my good, Hallelujah.
