Our Saviour said I will build my church,and that he will do,nothing and no one can stop Him, Dale R. Davis,writes of the victorious sovereignty of the covenant God' God is in the business of saving people,and it is wonderful how he brings that about.D R. Davis tells the following story,' During the time of Charles Spurgeon's ministry in England the 19th century,an evangelist in England was asked to go to a public house to see a landlord's wife who was dying. When he saw her she was rejoicing in Christ as her Saviour, he asked her how she had found the Lord.'Reading that', she handed him a torn piece of paper. It was part of an American newspaper containing an extract of one of Spurgeon's sermons. That extract had led to her conversion. He asked her where she had got the newspaper. It was wrapped round a package sent from Australia.So do the math; A sermon, preached in London, conveyed to America,an extract reprinted in an American newspaper,that paper sent to Australia, part torn off .for the package being sent to England, and, after all the twists and turns, bringing the word of grace to that wife of a pub keeper'.
'This divine stubbornness should be of immense
comfort to us- it tells us among other things that nothing ,
no human rebellion, no human stupidity can stop
God's kingdom plan. God is so stubborn that He
will make sure Jesus reigns over all the earth'.
