Any electronic product
which you buy usually comes with an instruction booklet which says, “Send only
to authorized dealers for maintenance and repairs.” Similarly, when something
in your body or life breaks down, you go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker.
You go to Him because God’s Word tells us that “all things were made through
Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
The Bible says that in
the beginning, God created everything by speaking (see Genesis 1), and Jesus
was the Word who caused everything to come to pass (see John 1:1–2, 14). So
when relationships in your family break down, when your finances are low or
when some part of your body isn’t working properly, you go to Jesus who can fix
it and even make it better than before!
A mother from our
church testified of how God gave her a brand-new daughter who used to be a very
rebellious teenager. The day the girl gave her life to Jesus marked the start
of a new life with her family. She also became the face to look out for in the
national swimming arena. When asked by reporters about her record-breaking
feats, she told them that it was Jesus who did it all for her!
A lady once approached
me and said, “Pastor Prince, I don’t know if you still remember me, but I came
to you before when I was a divorcee. This is my husband—the same man I divorced
some years ago. We remarried and these are our children!” Now, this doesn’t
usually happen in cases where divorce has taken place, but this couple looked
to Jesus and saw their broken family made whole!
When man puts something that has been broken
back together, it is usually not as good as before. But when Jesus does it, all
things become new (see 2 Corinthians 5:17)! The One who made the heavens and
the earth is more than able to make it better than it was before! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince
