Have seemingly impossible situations in life make you question God’s word, capabilities and intentions towards your life? Have you gotten a point in your life where you have thought to yourself that :God has just decided not to answer your prayer. You may, sometimes read all the promises of God related to your circumstances and ask God when is it your turn to receive these promises. Sometimes things can actually get worse as you believe and anytime you talk to God about it,He reassures you and makes reference to Romans 8: 28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and to them who are called according to his purpose”.
And after reading this powerful scripture, you ask yourself what is the ‘good’ in your current situation Trust God with your situation for He says in Jeremiah 29: 11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosperyou and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. No matter how events are turning out, know the God you have entrusted your life to. So far as you have totally surrendered all to Him and you are being led by the Holy Spirit God will surely turn things in your favor.
As Christians God did not promise the journey of life will be all rosy and simple.
John 16 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may havepeace.In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
In the midst of all the problems and difficulties God want you to build your faith muscles. He expects us to pray, meditate On His word daily, offer praise and worship , daily confession of your expectations and walking closely with the Holy Spirit.
God sometimes allow the devil to throw arrows (Problems) our way so that our faith in Him will be increased and strengthened and for His name to be glorified when He turns your test to a testimony. Romans 8: 28 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us”.
God never ignores us in our hard times, He looks down to us and waits for the right timing. Many times, we either stop or delay our own miracles from manifesting physically. Let’s keep it in mind that though God is capable of doing everything at anytime, He also works with principles, that is why He always expects us to walk closely with the Holy spirit for His leadings and directions. Always seek God’s direction on what He expects of you in your current situation.
When a situation is supposed to strengthen, change and teach you a lesson, God will not jump ahead and come to your rescue just because you are emotional about it.
Know God for yourself and be sincere with your relationship with Him.Try hard to avoid situations that will compromise your walk with God,for He Loves you more than you can ever imagine.
PRAYER : Father Lord, as your children are going through challenging times in their lives, show them the way to go, may their faith in You be strengthened and may they not compromise with their walk with You. May every lesson that we are supposed to learn whiles we are going through these trying times be learnt in Jesus’ Name
AMEN
Be Christfullness
