THE WHEEL OF LIFE (2)

-

The driver determines the destination. The plan of God is that you be the driver behind the wheel of your life. No one can take the steering without your permission. Some people have willingly given the steering of their lives to someone else to handle. It’s time you take it back and chart your own course according to God’s plan. It’s never too late to take over again. You as the driver, determine the speed with which you journey in life. You are not in competition with anyone. However speed is irrelevant when you are in the wrong.  A man decided to outrun another person. He put in all his effort. By the time his mission was accomplished, he realized he had long passed where he was supposed to turn and also noticed that the person he was competing with, didn’t know anything was happening. Pause and ask yourself, where am I heading to? If you don’t know where you are going, anywhere will be your bus stop.

A good driver ensures that his vehicle is in good condition and there’s enough gas. In the same vein, ensure you stay healthy and fit for your assignment in life. It’s not everything that is good for you. Don’t eat because you like it, eat what is good for you. Know what your body needs. No reasonable driver will put fuel (pms) in a vehicle that uses diesel. Don’t assume, check to be sure. Assumption can lead to frustration. You can’t afford to be careless. Do your regular checks. Your engine of life will not suddenly knock in Jesus name. A common sight in this part of the world is people holding their phones on one hand to take calls while driving, instead of using hands free. So many things are available to make our journey smooth but some people will choose to take dangerous risk. Life has no duplicate. As you continue in your journey in life, may the wisdom to do the right thing and overcome every obstacle be granted you in Jesus name.

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
