Storms can come in various forms and with varying degrees of intensity. I recall an incident some years ago, when I was travelling from Lagos to London on a plane. When we were about to land at Heathrow Airport, the captain informed us that there was a problem with the door at the belly of the aircraft, and we all understood it to mean that the landing gear wouldn’t be able to function, and in essence, the pilot was going to have to crash-land the plane. There was a storm on the plane at that moment because confusion and pandemonium broke out all around me. That day, I discovered that rich people do not want to die. I recall seeing a very wealthy man in the first-class cabin who carried a walking stick that was encrusted with diamonds at the top. Since we departed Lagos, he had been getting up, pretending to go to the toilet every now and then to show everyone his expensive walking stick. However, when he heard the captain’s announcement, he really needed to use the toilet.
I tell you with confidence that even if you are anointed, you will become frightened if you are told that your plane cannot land. Therefore, I turned to God and said, “Daddy, I embarked on this journey to do Your work. You didn't tell me when I was leaving to say goodbye to my family that it would be the last time I would see them.” Then He replied, saying, “Don't worry, son. I'm only delaying the plane’s landing because as soon as you land, people will not let you rest, and I need to talk to you first.” God’s word brought peace to my heart, and the plane continued to circle around the airport while God was speaking to me. When He finished talking to me, the faulty door opened, and the plane was able to make a normal landing. Despite how tough the situation was, I was at peace because God had spoken to me.
Beloved, when you have an intimate relationship with the Prince of Peace, you will not be troubled by the things that trouble others. You will not run helter-skelter at the hint of trouble because His word will bring peace to your heart. No matter how terrible a situation may be, there is always peace to be found in God’s word. Turn to His word in such instances, and it will keep your heart at peace while turning things around for the better.
