THE LORD IS WITH YOU

Jeremiah 20:11 KJV

But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.


The presence of God is guaranteed for every believer irrespective of the circumstance you are faced with. However that doesn’t exempt us from challenges. It only assures us of victory and peace in the midst of storm (if we’re conscious of His presence). The Psalmist said if he passes through the valley of the shadow of death, yet he will not fear evil, for God is with him. Processes are usually not comfortable or interesting but the products it produces are phenomenal. It is an oven experience. If the flour doesn’t go through the oven, it will not produce a good aroma and a product that will end up on the king’s table. Behind every glory there’s a story. Your story may be your ministry because in that mess there is a message. Don’t be overwhelmed by your challenges. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all. 


Daniel was in the lion’s den, God was with him. The king put him and his two friends in the fiery furnace and he saw a fourth person, the Son of God. 

Joseph was in the prison, God was with him.

Gideon hid from the Amalekites that plundered his nation, God was with him. 

Jesus our Saviour wished the cup could pass over Him but He chose to subject His will to God’s will. The enemy didn’t know God was at work. Had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.


Everything the enemy meant for evil, when God is with you, He turns it around for good. You are not an object of pity. When a chapter doesn’t end, another one doesn’t begin. There  is a blessed assurance that it will end in praise. Be strong and of good courage. This one too shall pass. You will pull through. You will testify.


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

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

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
