Remember the COBRA EFFECT? ( the unintended consequence for a well-intentioned idea leading to making the problem worse). Note that every solution has consequences and those consequences may lead to certain situations where rather than solving a current problem, you may end up with more complex problems.

Years ago, the rulers in Vietnam realized that there were too many rats in the city of Hanoi which led to the spread of the rat plague the BUBONIC plague – caused by bacteria transmitted by rats! They created a reward program that paid a price for each rat killed. To obtain the reward, people would provide the tail of a rat. Alter the initial success, the officials however, started noticing the rats with no tails

The rat catchers would capture the rats, cut off their tails, and then release them back into the gutters so that they could breed and produce more rats, thereby increasing the profit of the rat catchers. So, the good intention of government produced more rats! What an irony! I call it, THE BOOMERANG or BACKFIRE SYNDROME – when your good intention BACKFIRE against you because you are human! And we all have passed through that road once or twice!

Indeed, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the outcome is PAIN! The Holy Ghost wants you to do a check-up on your life, family and ministry today! What are the past decisions that became your LAND OF PAIN? He is sending me to announce to you that THERE SHALL BE RESTORATION! See Joel 2: 21 – “Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice:, for the LORD will do great things.”

 

No matter that REGRET in your heart, FEAR NOT! Great things will come out of every past error! Ah, see Vs. 25 – “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm…” All past decisions that BACKFIRED will REFIRE by the Holy Ghost! He is a Specialist in turning failure to fortune!
