Do you know those problems in your life have an expiration date? Have you ever experienced a problem and wondered when it will come to an end? Do you find yourself dealing with complex situations you feel inadequate or incapacitated to solve? You are not alone. Everyone has felt this way at some point in life. However, remember the will of God for mankind has always been a good and perfect one. The story of creation in Genesis chapter 1 and 2; and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (through Him, we have redemption, restoration, and salvation for our souls) are testaments to God’s perfect will for mankind. Everyone who receives the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ will still deal with problems on earth. Nevertheless, those problems can no longer overcome them because God has printed expiration dates on all the problems they will ever deal with. Jesus has provided an escape route to all those who put their trust in Him. Yes, as a child of God you will go through problems but God will be by your side to walk you through them, so that they do not overwhelm you; so that they do not prevent you from reaching your destiny (Isaiah 43:1-2). Surely there is an End presents God’s heart concerning you in times of trouble. It points you to God’s incomparable promises for your life. I pray it will empower you to face troubles with a champion attitude knowing that in Christ Jesus, you are “more than a conqueror” (Romans 8:37)

When I say the woman God uses, I am referring to every woman in every domain of life that has allowed God to use her in any capacity. I am referring to the woman who has yielded her life to God and is allowing Him, to reach out to others through her. Every day, The Almighty God uses women irrespective of their age, profession, race, education, marital status and social background to fulfil His divine purpose. God used fallen women like Rahab to hide and protect His servants from death. Who, in return received protection for her entire family thereafter. Possessed women like Mary Magdalene received deliverance and ministered to Jesus and His disciples. Humble women like the slave girl in Naaman’s household became instrumental to introducing the God of Israel to her masters. An encounter that ultimately led to the healing of Naaman’s leprosy and the salvation of his entire family. God used royal women like Queen Esther to bring about great deliverance to His people, Israel. As you ponder over the pages of this book, I encourage you to open your heart to receive from the Lord. Allow Him to minister to you and grant you deeper understanding and revelation of your relevance in His kingdom. I pray that your vision be broadened, your strength multiplied, and your zeal inspired to walk in the path of your calling. I also pray this book will inspire you to take up new responsibilities for the advancement of the kingdom of God. Our Lord and Master, Who has called you, will empower you to fulfl His purpose in Jesus Name. Amen!

Cuando digo la mujer que Dios usa, me refiero a cada mujer en cada dominio de la vida que ha permitido a Dios usarla en cualquier capacidad. Me refiero a la mujer que ha entregado su vida a Dios y que permite que Él alcance a otros a través de ella. Todos los días, el Dios Todopoderoso usa a las mujeres independientemente de su edad, profesión, raza, educación, estado civil y antecedentes sociales para cumplir su propósito divino. En la Biblia, vemos que Dios usó a las mujeres caídas como Rahab para ocultar y proteger los siervos de Dios de la muerte. A cambio, ella recibió protección para toda su familia a partir de entonces. Las mujeres poseídas, como María Magdalena, recibieron la liberación y ministraron a Jesús y a sus discípulos. La mujer humilde, como la niña esclava en la casa de Naamán, se convirtió en instrumento para presentar el Dios de Israel a sus amos. Ese encuentro finalmente condujo a la sanidad de la lepra de Naamán y la salvación de toda su familia. Dios usó a las mujeres reales como la Reina Ester para lograr una gran liberación para su pueblo, Israel. Mientras reflexionas sobre las páginas de este libro, te aliento a que abras tu corazón para recibir del Señor. Permítele que te ministre y te conceda una comprensión y revelación más profundas de tu relevancia en su reino. Oro para que se amplíe tu visión, que se multiplique tu fuerza y que se inspire tu celo para caminar en la senda de tu llamado. Oro también para que este libro te inspire a asumir nuevas responsabilidades para el avance del Reino de Dios. Nuestro Señor y Maestro, quien te ha llamado, te capacitará para cumplir su propósito en el nombre de Jesucristo. ¡Amén!

PAY ATTENTION TO YOURSELF

The Lord Almighty who created this world has set a time for the world to end. When that happens, whether to an individual person in death or to planet earth, all humans will stand before Him to give account of how they lived on earth. This book is calling the attention of Christians to be ready to receive their Saviour and Master, and warning sinners to receive the gift of salvation and escape the calamities that will befall the world. Pay attention to yourself is an admonition to every individual to arise and take his or her relationship with God personal and serious.

It is common knowledge that people have been disappointed by the clerics and church members, and some have stopped serving God because they do not know how to differentia-te between God and humans. This book teaches us how to make that distinction. Despite what you have experienced in the church, you will not be exempted from standing be-fore God because “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

El Señor Todopoderoso que creó este mundo ha fijado un tiempo para el fin del mismo. Cuando eso suceda, ya sea a una persona individual en la muerte o al planeta tierra, todos los humanos se presentarán ante Él para dar cuenta de cómo vi-vieron en la tierra. Este libro llama la atención de los cristianos para que estén listos para recibir a su Salvador y Maestro y a los pecadores, para que reciban el regalo de la salvación y escapen de las calamidades que vendrán sobre el mundo. Préstate atención es una advertencia para que cada individuo se levante y tome su relación con Dios de manera personal y seria.

Es de conocimiento común que la gente ha sido decepcionada por los clérigos y miembros de la iglesia, y algunos han dejado de servir a Dios porque no saben diferenciar entre Dios y los humanos. Este libro nos enseña cómo hacer esa distinción. A pesar de lo que hayas experimentado en la iglesia, no estarás exento de parar delante de Dios «porque es necesario que todos nosotros comparezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno de nosotros reciba lo que le corresponde por las cosas que ha hecho mientras estaba en el cuerpo, ya sea bueno o malo» (2 Corintios 5:10).
