"OX'S YOKE" ©Opeyemi Akintunde

Sheila, was no doubt a friend of God, but what everyone could not understand was why she had to be barren for 10 years, and anytime any one asked her especially her mother, " Sheila what is going on ?.

All she would reply was "God is on His throne, He told me I am carrying the OX'S yoke"...

Her mother's question always was " What is the Ox's Yoke...Is God punishing you for something? " Sheila would laugh and tickle her mum, " Mum, with time you would understand."

No one could understand her plight, she was a girl who loved God from her youth, She had grown to hear God's voice, she never messed up sexually while growing up, so everyone was confused as to why she would be barren, but Sheila had prayed and asked her Heavenly Father, and all she heard was, " You are bearing the OX'S yoke for me, Five more years and you will be free"...

Yes!, exactly five more years, The day Her marriage turned 15 years, she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl "Oluwamulerise"( God did as promised).

Now she didn't have to explain the Ox's yoke to everyone anymore, because the moment she gave birth, she also birthed a new ministry, A ministry of encouraging women who were looking up to God for the fruit of the womb... When she opened her mouth to say, I waited for 15 years, I married at 35, my pregnancy defiled menopause, the women listened to what she had to say, because she was speaking from experience and she had felt their pain.

Friend, a lot of what you are passing through is because God has placed a great assignment in your hand, He is using you as an instrument in His hand to reach out to his people.

That sickness, is not unto death for you, you are coming out of it, so that you can encourage another sick person in the future..whose faith in God May want to waver...

That financial hardship is for a while, Tomorrow when you become a multi billionaire, you will be the best person to encourage that person who poverty is giving a hard time, "I once carried the yoke of poverty, but God has helped me... "

It takes a woman who lost a child to tell another who just lost a pregnancy, " Hey, God is Good, God is able to give you double for your loss, I have been there"

Question: Why did you think God asked Mary to go and meet Elizabeth when she became pregnant, because He knew Elizabeth was the best to mentor her in her new pregnancy, she had gone through the early phase of pregnancy and all the morning sicknesses..

Jeremiah had to carry an OX'S yoke as instructed by God, so that He could use it to explain to the kings who were under the rule of King Nebuchadnezzar, that He was the one who gave Nebuchadnezzar the power to rule over them, but Jeremiah served as a tool in God's hand to physically carry it so that they could see it. A yoke is not a light thing to carry, A yoke is heavy, but Jeremiah had to carry it in order to deliver God's message.
Jesus also had to carry the Cross... So as to teach us God's message of Love and Sacrifice..

Your present Yoke is not to kill you, it is not to last forever, but it could be God using your present situation to prepare you for a great message he wants you to deliver for Him...

God bless you
Jere 27

Who’s Who in Hell by Kenneth E. Hagin

Everyone will face  eternity one day. The righteous enter “life eternal” Matt. 25:46 , and the unrighteous are cast into hell or the lake of fire Rev. 20:15 . The lake of fire is the final dwelling place for those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life  Rev. 20:15 . We should thank God for the revelation His Word gives us concerning Heaven. If we are in Christ, we are Heaven-bound!  We should also thank God for what scripture says about hell . Those who haven’t made Jesus their Lord are not  Heaven-bound. Christians need to reach these people with the Gospel. We must let them know there is a Heaven to gain and a hell to shun. Who’s Who There once were books that listed people who achieved a degree of prominence in the arts and sciences, in business, and in various professions. Sometimes it’s interesting to know “who’s who” in life. The Bible also gives us a “who’s who” in hell, so to speak. Revelation 21:8 (NKJV) 8. But t...
