Something Ugly at the Gate

Acts 3:2

"And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple"

This blog is only intended for understanding the work of God.

But, there was something ugly at the gate called beautiful!

Just gonna get straight to the point. 

Whenever God sees ugly, He uses it as a Gateway. God shows His strength in our weakness.

The Lord KILLS, then He makes alive!

The Lord raises the humble and casts down the proud!

God allows the ugly to turn it into beauty, He uses ugly as a gateway to beauty.

Your problems, your insufficiencies, your struggles, God's got a plan for them!

What you CAN'T do is where He calls you.

So when you see ugly, it's only a matter of time before you see a transformation!

This lame man was lame from birth. He sits at the gate called beautiful asking for change. He was at the right place at the right time! He may have been asking alms, but he got real change this time! He met the right ones! They said, "We ain't got no money, but we DO got Jesus!" Nothing stays the same in Jesus' name! He got CHANGE! His ugly deficiency became a beautiful encounter!

Check out the 'lepers with the goods', they were outside the GATE! They were pretty UGLY!

Isolated from civilization, rejected from the city due to their medical condition. But, ugly is the gateway to beauty! The city was in an ugly state as well! But there is a God in heaven that uses ugly to bring you victory!

Your situation may be dark; But, light shines in the darkness!

Your trial may be ugly; But, beautiful change exits from beauty!

I just wanna hit you with this Word from God! He knows how to turn everything around for your good and His glory! Your ugly situation is only His platform to work on!

HE PROCLAIMS LIBERTY TO CAPTIVES,

OPENS PRISON DOORS TO THOSE BOUND,

HE COMFORTS THOSE WHO MOURN,

GIVES BEAUTY FOR ASHES,

THE OIL OF JOY TO THOSE WHO MOURN,

AND A GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS!

None can compare, He's the God that uses U-G-L-Y!
