YOUR PAST DOES NOT MATTER TO GOD: The Story of Leah

This is the first in a series of stories about women in the Holy Bible, who got a new lease on life, against all odds.
They were reviled but they all ended up in the lineage of the King of Kings - JESUS.
We are all eligible for change, progress & lifting because they do not have a religion, time or place.
What looks bad in your life today can be used to do you good tomorrow.
See the story of LEAH.

Gen 29:16-35
Vs 16-18      Leah was the elder but her younger sister was the preferred.
Vs 25      Her husband's disappointment in her was from the wedding night. She was unwanted  and rejected by the man who married her.
Vs 27-30 Leah got a rival, her own sister, one week after after she got married.
Vs 31        God saw the trouble and humiliation that Leah was going through and He blessed her.

Leah's 4th child/son was the beginning of the lineage of Jesus - JUDAH!
What is profound about this is that Judah was not her 1st but her 4th in a long line of sons. Her change came when she took her eyes off man and focused on God.


You see, God hears our cries; He has heard your cry and He will bless you.
All He's waiting for is that moment when we take our eyes off man and focus on Him.
When there is no alternative to His intervention, He performs miracles for posterity.


From the reject came the regent...
