I heard a pastor preach this, “If you pray enough, you will see many coincidences.”
The day after I saw someone posted a testimony on her Instagram, she added, “Is it coincidence or God-incidence?”
Soon after, I had a God-incidencemyself. My daughter didn’t want to go home by our usual route because she wanted to walk to the MRT station with her classmates. I granted her wish since our bus was coming only in 10 minutes. Then on the train, she asked if we could go a bit further with her friends instead of alighting at our MRT station. We could, but the wait for our bus from that station was usually long. I checked the bus timing. We could make it to the bus without waiting too long, so I told her okay. After a series of turns, I came to my God-incidencemoment.
While waiting for the bus, I saw someone I had been following on Instagram and said hi to her. I just told her we had conversed on Instagram. Later she remembered where she saw me (at my other website) and messaged me. Her messages were filled with words of encouragement. Probably if she had recognised me, she wouldn’t have texted me the encouragement when she reached out to me online.
I had been deeply discouraged recently. I wondered if I should continue my other website when statistics are not crazily high. I wondered what’s the purpose of continuing, or was there even a purpose for it existing in the first place? I wondered if I was starting another failure with Shema Rhema again.
I prayed for God to tell me. Should I continue or stop to cut my losses with my firstborn (website)? Should I start or abort this newborn (website)? Green or red.
Like in the past, whenever I felt like giving up on the firstborn (website), God would send people or angels, which I like to call them, to encourage me. He will arrange for subtle God-incidences. He still leaves me with the choice, but these encouragements are breaths of life to my dry bones.
If you have been blessed by someone, let them know.Like God breathing life into Adam and Eve, you can also speak life into other people. You never know it could just be breaths of life to dry bones, or a refreshing drink in a parched season.
If you are on the other side of needing hope, pray and pray. I pray that God will arrange His God-incidences to bring hope and clarity to your situation.
The Dry Bones Live
Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the [a]breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.
14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
