Surprises Without End

The Lord had a totally unexpected solution waiting in the wings, to be revealed just at the right time. Our God is the king of the unexpected, of the creative solutions, and left-field options! Heaven won’t be static. There will be surprises without end. So, wherever you think your life is at right now, remember that there’s never a dead-end in your life for the Lord.

Dr Eliezer Gonzalez

I love the way The Message paraphrases Job 5:9, “He’s famous for great and unexpected acts; there’s no end to his surprises.”

I entrusted my life to the Lord Jesus when I was young.

Since then, my life hasn’t turned out the way I thought it would.

Far from it! I can vouch for the fact that God’s acts in my life have been great and unexpected.

I’ve seen God’s surprises in how he has moved in my life in guiding my life choices in surprising ways that I could never have foreseen, in intervening in my problems when I could see no way through, and in opening new vistas of possibilities that I never knew existed.

Think about the life of Moses.

Moses, who grew up as a prince in Egypt’s court, would have never expected that he would have married a Bedouin woman and that he would spend four decades as a shepherd in the wilderness.

He never expected that he would one day challenge the authority of the mightiest king in the world with only a staff in his hand, and that with this staff he would part the waters of the sea.

Moses never expected that he would form a new nation out of slaves that he would liberate, or that he would one day see the face of God, who would speak to him as a friend.

In my own life, there have been plenty of surprises as well!

When I was a child I never thought that I would be a teacher.

When I was a teacher I never thought that I would be an international business entrepreneur.

When I was a business executive, I never thought I would be a theologian.

When I was a theologian, I never thought that I would be leading a global Gospel ministry.

I never thought that I would marry someone as wonderful as my wife or have our two beautiful children.

Just as these have been surprises in my life, so too have been the Lord’s interventions in the everyday and sometimes very personal affairs of my life.

I’m certain that God has a great sense of humour.

As I look back, I can acknowledge the Lord’s great and unexpected acts in my own life.

I can enthusiastically agree that there’s no end to his surprises.

As I look forward to my future, not just in this world but in eternity, I’m excited!

Who knows what the Lord will do and how he will surprise me!

Not only is God full of surprises, but I’m certain he’s got a great sense of humour as well!

I’ve often come to what I’ve thought have been dead-ends in my life: relationships that seem shut down, work that seems fruitless, and employment that is going nowhere.

Sometimes I’ve prayed anxiously to the Lord. And then, the Lord has provided a totally unexpected way out.

Then, in awe of his ways, I’ve thanked him, and I’m certain that he’s lovingly chuckled at my earlier lack of faith.

All along, the Lord had a totally unexpected solution waiting in the wings, to be revealed just at the right time.

Our God is the king of the unexpected, of the creative solutions, and left-field options!

In those circumstances, I’ve been very happy to have Jesus chuckle kindly at my expense.

He has always come through and worked on my behalf to open doors and pathways in my life.

Heaven won’t be static. There will be surprises without end.

So, wherever you think your life is at right now, remember that there’s never a dead-end in your life for the Lord.

Eliezer Gonzalez is simply passionate about the gospel. With a background in teaching and management, the Lord called him to the gospel ministry and set him on an academic path. As a result, Eliezer earned two Master’s degrees (in Theology and Early Christian History), and then a PhD in Early Christian History.academic specialization is the early history of Christianity, and he was written prolifically in published books and in historical and theological academic journals. But don’t let that fool you! Eliezer communicates the gospel of the crucified and risen Christ in a powerful and simple way.

Eliezer has presented the gospel publicly in many countries and in many different forums. He considers it a privilege to be able to do his bit so that the Word Spreads Fast. Eliezer is praying for millions upon millions of people to be in the Kingdom of God because of the ministry of Good News Unlimited.

Good News Unlimited was born from the desire of like-minded Christians to enjoy fellowship based on Biblical principles, free from the politics and constraints of more formal religions. A non-profit ministry, it was originally established in California in 1980, but quickly spread through an informal network, producing regular taped sermons and a magazine, and sponsoring regular speaking seminars by Desmond Ford in various countries.

Good News Unlimited established a daily and weekly radio program which ran for more than twenty years. It also sponsored a TV program on health and preventative medicine, called ‘Worth More Than a Million’ for more than ten years.
