God sets everything in place and in motion for His word to be fulfilled. He is not bounded by time and all that had happened in the past, is happening today, or will happen in the future is already a predestined event that the Lord had made. There is always a good purpose for such things to happen and God gave man the gift of prophecy so that he can prepare for any eventuality that comes.

HANG ON TO THE WORDS OF JESUS

They could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words. (Luke 19:48)

Hang on the Words of Jesus. This is the Lord's big message to you today as written in the gospel of Luke. By engaging in trade, you will be encountering people, mostly competitors, whose objective is to destroy you so that they can put you "out of the game" so to speak. Hang on the word of the Lord and He will be the one who will work mightily in you to accomplish each and every purpose He wants you to undertake in accordance with the power of His Word. If God is with you, who can stand against you?
I have encountered a business client who has given me a run around for the last couple of days. This begun more than a month ago when they issued a payment with a wrong payee. It took them weeks to replace the wrong check and after they did, it was immediately deposited to the bank. Unfortunately, the check "bounced". The client requested not to have the check redeposited but instead promised to replace it by cash the following day. Again, the client failed to show up. Another day passed with another promise to make good their word but just the same, they again have another reason of not showing up. It is really frustrating and at times nerve wracking to hang on to the words of people who are not sincere in making good their words.
Lord, your words have power and will never return to you void. Each day, you have give me the grace to delight upon your word, believing in faith that every word you say as written in the scriptures are meant to guide me in my everyday journey. These words of yours, I hang on so that I will always be under your love and protection.

Thank you so much for your words that continue to shape me in order to become the best person you wanted me to be. You have changed my character in terms of being faithful to whatever I say most especially when it comes to my commitment in paying our obligations. You made it all possible for me to always pay on time.

Please forgive me for the times I have trusted and hang on to the words of others only to be disappointed. Such sad experiences have brought me to the truth and realization that only your words are to be trusted which I can always rely, depend, and hang on.

I pray for all your people who got used to promising something, yet not fulfilling what they have said. May they see the light of its consequences bringing frustration and disappointments to those who depended on their word, and resolve to make true with their words and promises.

All these I humbly ask and pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
