*Topic* : *When God*
*Text* : WHEN THE Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]. Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents]. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

With my whole heart have I sought You, inquiring for and of You and yearning for You; Oh, let me not wander or step aside [either in ignorance or willfully] from Your commandments. [II Chron. 15:15.]

Our Topic today is
*When God*
Our Bible reference is below
WHEN THE Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]. Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents]. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping [at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing] shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126:1-6 AMPC
https://bible.com/bible/8/psa.126.1-6.AMPC
Let's start with a question...
The statement *When God* what does it bring to your mind
Let's look at the scriptures...
There is some kind of emphasis on the opening statement
WHEN THE lord brought back the captivities of zion
No wonder it's in capitals
God is the God that works accurately, He works with time and He always know what and when the appointed time is no matter what the circumstances may be
I want to briefly share a video, apologies for those who don't understand the language but please watch it as you will understand what happened there
*A Video was pasted of a woman who was Hawking on the road and a destiny helper came and God transformed her life*
This is not shared for sponsorship or anything of such but to gain some wisdom of situations around us and the topic
In that video, the woman hawking by the street, went out as usual for her daily living but a founder of an NGO saw her took pity on her, blessed her and even promised to make sure she stop hawking smoked corn/maize by the road side.
If you look clearly you will see that this woman is partially sighted. The right eye seem like it's no longer there
From the scripture the psalmist said when the lord returned the captivity of Zion they were like those that dream...
Their laughter, singing, freedom, fortunes, joy, food in abundance was restored unto them
Remember these captives were deprived of all that any other human being would have the luxury of or even access to. They had everything taken away from them. Life must have felt like hell to or for them. Imagine needing to tell someone before you pee, before you sleep, no freedom. The way God created us, we are meant to be free in all areas of life. We are meant to enjoy God's abundance because we are His creatures.
No matter where you find yourself on this planet earth living in a situation that is not favourable will never be your desire. Because we are independent being physically and spiritually. The only one we depend on is God at all times and this might not be clear to an ordinary mind.
Your salary, your finance, security etc is not enough to keep you in this life and help you fulfill purpose without God
WHEN GOD is involved in a situation He causes a divine intervention and turns around beyond the imagination of men to take place in the a twinkling of an eye
He doesn't need the approval of man for Him to turn that situation around because He is God.
TYPE *_WHEN GOD_*
God is the only one that breaks protocols and norms of an institution just to show that He is God and He is involved in that matter
Oh, that the salvation and deliverance of Israel would come out of Zion! *When God* restores the fortunes of His people, then will Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
Psalm 53:6 AMPC
https://bible.com/bible/8/psa.53.6.AMPC
Here is another prove of a WHEN GOD situation
When he restored the fortunes of His people they will rejoice and they will be glad
Have you ever seen anyone that God remembers and they just keep quiet?
Only an ingrate would say there is no God 🙏
A true believer and recipient of His wonders will always shout His praise either for present past or future
When you understand God..
You will never allow that situation that is overwhelming you eat up your praise
And the angel said to him, Tighten your belt and bind on your sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Wrap your outer garment around you and follow me. And [Peter] went out [along] following him, and he was not conscious that what was apparently being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
Acts 12:8-9 AMPC
https://bible.com/bible/8/act.12.8-9.AMPC
This is the time when Peter was released by the hand of God from prison.
When God happened to Peter the one who was imprisoned became a free man walking out of prison just like that.
When God happens to a man, those who saw the man yesterday will not recognise them today or tomorrow because His glory will show upon them
Hallelujah 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
When God happen to your case or my case the rejections turn around to acceptance, the allegations turns to compensation, the barrenness turns to fruitfulness, the debt turns to abundance and lender to nations, the tears of sorrow turns to tears of joy, those mouth speaking I'll of you begin to sing the praises of what God has done because your testimony is no longer hidden it's out there and clear that God is God.
God is able
God can't fail
God can change things but He is unchangeable
When God happens in your life that rent becomes a week's earning, you who were squatting in someone's house become someone that houses other people
When God happens, remember the widow of zarephath
Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said. But make me a little cake of [it] first and bring it to me, and afterward prepare some for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: The jar of meal shall not waste away or the bottle of oil fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth. She did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not spent nor did the bottle of oil fail, according to the word which the Lord spoke through Elijah.
1 Kings 17:13-16 AMPC
https://bible.com/bible/8/1ki.17.13-16.AMPC
This woman was gathering sticks to go and prepare what would have been her last meal. But God happened to her through an encounter she had with Elijah.
She obeyed and the word of God spoken through Elijah did not return to Him void, the one who had little to eat became the one with abundance
I don't know what you are saying *_God when!_* on.
But I want to assure you
I want to encourage you and tell you the when God happens to that situation. I am sorry the vocabulary might be wrong but I hope you get the message. When God happens to your situation those who knew you last year will ask you what your secret weapon is
Your song and my song will be,
See! What the lord has done
Wee what the lord has done
What I waited for
Has come to pass
See what the lord has done
But are you ready for the your when God situation?
You can't enjoy or encounter what you are not ready for
Instead of saying God when.
Change it to When God(followed by your expectations)
When God cancels the debt
When God heals me
When God give me my immigration settlement
When God grants my visa
When God brings my child home
When God wipes this tears
When God heal my family
When God give me that house or accommodation
When God grants my scholarship
When God grant me that job
When God grant me marital settlement
When God open my business to multinational clients.
It is important to have the mentality that visualise the hands of God over your situation
The enemy will always want you to focus on what's not working
One of the things that will fuel this attitude of when God is your prayer life
You relationship with God
How you study the word
The people you surround yourself with
What you listen to…
The word of God says faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1
Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God Romans 10:17
Surround your life with the right things, people, community, friends, articles, words, social media that fuels your faith to Trust God more.
Stay farrrrrrrrrrrr away from nay sayers, stay far away from those who question your faith. Job refused to listen to His friends and wife, instead he chose to pray for them and Trust God the his When God situation happened.
People may see you as non realistic, they may see you as hopeless, they may say you are delusional.
Come here let them say.
Because your when God situation is happening very soon. It's starting from now because your faith has risen, your hope has risen, you are no longer the way you were before reading the posts today.
Don't forget to make God your plan a and only plan. You cannot expect or enjoy your when God situation of God is plan z or Be is not in your plan
*Let us pray!!*
- Father thank you for your word you specifically send to me today
- Father thank you for allowing me to dwell in and on your word always
- Lord forgive me in any way I have not included me in your plan or trust you above all situations
- Lord from today grant me grace to always look up to you no matter what the situation is or where I find myself
- Father where I have acted as an ingrate forgive me, replace ingratitude with gratefulness and gratitude to you always henceforth
- Father thank you because you have cause restoration to take place in my life and over every situation that has caused me heart pain.
*Personal prayer*

*Have a blessed evening and remain Jesus ❤️ us all.*
