PLACING THINGS IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

-

Philippians 4:6 KJV

[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


In continuation of the write up last week, I feel so impressed in my spirit to continue where i stopped. We looked at the fact that the relevance and out come of things depends on whose hands it is. It is important to know how to place things in the right place, it makes things easier when we put things where they should be and makes one more organized and effective. It allows you spend less time looking for items. When you know where you have kept something, you just go there to pick it up and you’ll be at rest knowing it’s in a safe place. Items dropped in the wrong place over time eventually become a big task clearing or cleaning up. Same thing goes for issues we are faced with. Where we place issues determine a lot in our lives, if not we find ourselves under pressure, restless and unable to sleep. Learn to lay aside anything that constitutes weight as the Bible puts it or else you will be over burdened. If you need to forgive someone, please do. Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent free in your  head. Why worry if you can’t do anything about an issue? Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you work to do but never gets you anywhere. Such work that worry gives can include but not limited to high blood pressure, depression, constant headache. Apostle Paul said he forgets those things which are behind and reaches forth to those things which are before. Weight limits speed and creativity. It hinders you from pressing forward as you should. Look critically at those things that have become weight in your life and put them before the Lord. He is a sure Helper. He’ll take care of that debt, bill, health issue, marriage, business, expectation, finance, relationship and any other thing you can think of. Be still and know that He is God. He will not fail. He will definitely come through for you. 

Shalom

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
