TOPIC: TOPIC: 360 YEARS AGO: THIS STORM IS PASSING OVER!
Basic Scripture: Genesis 8: 1-16
An intense and powerful BUT BRIEF storm swept across north-west Europe one summer evening, almost 360 years ago. It left a social and architectural imprint on the city of Utrecht (in Holland) that is felt to this day. Van Der Schrier and his colleague, Rob Groenland, in a 1674 research detailed in the journal ‘Natural Hazards and earth system Science’, revealed that the storm was cause by a wing current called, “BOW ECHO.”

“BOW ECHOES” are broad, arc- shaped weather fronts which can be tens to hundreds of kilometers long. The pass over an area in a matter of a few hours at most and they are associated with strong and localized gust of mind, called straight-line winds. Oh! Apologies for taking you into a Geography/Weather university class! But one notable point was the storm was very short-lived!
It looks barely 15 minutes! Wow! Yes 15 minutes! Yes, those 15 minutes left the nation with several years of devastation. What if the storm had lasted for longer for hours, days or weeks? The entire Netherland may have been wiped out of planet earth! Never forget also that GOD WILL NOT ALLOW ANY STORM TO IN YOUR LIFE LONGER THAN YOUR FAITH CAN CARRY!

God will NEVER allow the storm that will consume you to locate your address! Hear Iyanla Vanzant: “No storm can last forever. It will never rain 360 days consecutively. Keep in mind that trouble comes to pass, not to stay. Don’t worry! No storm, not even the one in your life can last forever.” Yes sir! The Holy Ghost is reminding you that ever allowed financial, career, business and marital storm, etc, is time-bound and has an expiry date!

Today’s scripture Vs. 13 states: “AND IT CAME TO PASS…” Wow! Glory be to God! I feel like dancing on this desk right now! It did not say, “IT CAME TO STAY”, BUT “IT CAME TO PASS!” That means that current storm battling with you right now has COME TO PASS! NOT TO STAY! That means that current pain, disappointment has COME to PASS! NOT to STAY! That health or financial battle, etc, has COME to PASS!
Pray the PRAYERS TO BEGIN EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR!
No matter how 2018 has been and no matter the current waves, storms, bends and arrows of troubles confronting your life, family and ministry, THE SHALL SURELY PASS AWAY! 1 Peter 5: 10 puts it in another way: “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, established, strengthened, settle you.”
Not again the words: “after that ye have SUFFERED A WHILE.” NOT FOREVER, but a while. Yes, sometimes the “A WHILE” can seem like ETERNITY, but just determine to hold on! The flood/storm of Noah didn’t last forever! Oh you storm! You are not forever! I refuse to bow to you! Your EXPIRY DATE is near! You must PASS AWAY BY FIRE in Jesus name.” Pray seriously now!
