PUT ON THE LIGHT FOR OTHERS

As individuals we go through things, positive and negative. Everything works together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose. Life is a school with different phases and so many ups and downs. In a school, when you are taught, you will sit for exam. Not everybody that goes to school make the most of it. The lessons of life can be through experiential knowledge (what you go through) or through the experiences of others, which has the ability of living you better or bitter. Some processes may be tough but we just have to go through them. Jesus too wished the cup could pass over. This article was inspired by a write up on the intention of Ibidun Ighodalo of blessed memory for her 40th birthday. A woman who went through IVF 11 times and none was successful and she eventually settled for adoption. She planned to help 40 families to have their babies. What a laudable project and I know God will bless 40 families with miracle children in this season in Jesus name. We have a ministry in our pain. There’s a message in every mess and a testimony in every test. God allows us to go through some things to be a blessing to others. Don’t be too much into the pain of what you have gone through or you are going through that you miss the lesson or assignment. I read an article of a blind man who turns on the light for his visitors when they come in. It’s not because he needs the light but because others need it. Let’s be a blessing to people while we can. Let your light so shine that people can see your good works and give glory to God. You are made to make positive impact irrespective of your background or your story. In every story, there’s glory. Your joy shall be full and your testimony complete in Jesus name.

    True talk! Sometimes we can be engrossed in our challenges that we don't connect to what God want to work out from it to bless others.

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
