There are nine points covered here, the point of this is to get you thinking and also to challenge you. The key verse used here is Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Here goes…

1 – How much Trust is too much?

Trusting God is a life long thing not just a something that happens when we are in trouble. We should trust God 100% this means all the time not sometimes or in some situations but all the times in all situations regardless of what they are.

2 – Do You Trust God Yourself or Both?

Something we need to know is that we cannot in anyway rely on our own understanding, because we really do not have one. We have or should have only what the Holy Spirit reveals to us and what the bible says to us, we sometimes say we use wisdom, but then what we really do is trust in ourselves using wisdom as an excuse. Wisdom is given to us through the bible! And in proverbs 3:5 it says never rely on what you think you know. And if we do not rely on what we think we know what do we rely on? We rely on the word of God and the revelation of the Holy Spirit! Amen.

3 – What does everything Mean?

(See Proverbs 3:5-6) Remember the lord in everything you do, this means giving him glory for everything you do, committing your whole life for him seeking his will in all things, not just some things but all things no matter how little they are. Look at it this way trust is a practical expression of the commitment we have in God and his word. We can’t be committed to some one if we are not close to them and we can’t trust people if we don’t know them. The better we get to know them so does our trust grow for them. It is the same with trusting God. As our knowledge of Gods word grows, so will our love and Trust for God.

4 – How do I know when I’m not Trusting God?

We know we are not trusting God completely when we find our selves living a life filled with worry and we are not at constant peace, if this is still to any of us, it means we must learn to trust God more, it is a process.

5 – What Happens when you get used to Trusting God?

When we get in the habit of trusting God we get a peace accompanied by a confidence without any worry or concern that it’s going to be all right regardless of the situation. Though sometimes we may feel worried or stressed or things may seem to get over our heads we would always know that God is there for us because we have learned to trust in him constantly even for the little things.

We shouldn’t be able to measure how much we trust God; this is because our whole life should be based on trusting him. From when we wake up to when we go to sleep!

It can be really easy to trust ourselves sometimes especially for little things, like food, water and other things that we see and use without a second thought.  We should all begin to ask God to help us to trust him more for little things, this depends our reliance on God and that empowers our walk with God as we don’t depend on him for Just big things but little things as well. When we exclude God from the tiny details of our lives that is a whole area of our lives we have completely refused to let him take over, because it’s little things we neglect the fact that God has made it all possible, and we forget (Myself Inclusive) that the little things in our life make up our whole life.

6 – How Much do You Really Trust God ?

This is a reality check session, I want you to take 30 seconds and consider things in your life that you haven’t been trusting God with, and think about how much you actually do trust him, do you trust him for small things or big things only?

7 – I Was Being Serious!

I meant what I said above; I have this section to re-emphasize the Point. PLEASE DO IT!  Consider how much you actually trust God. 30 Second’s won’t hurt you.

8 – What do you do when you face a situation that seems impossible?

We should trust God, trust is defined as: Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone, in this case God; this means that we should have firm belief in the reliability of God, his truth and his ability and strength to take care of any situation and to give us constant peace and see us through any situation even if it may take time, though we may fail to trust God sometimes, we must always consciously try to, he will help us!

9 – The greatest enemy of trust is pride?

We could sometimes become proud without even knowing it, this is mostly when we start to think that it is us doing something, no matter how little it is, and then what happens is that instead of acknowledging that God is in control of everything regardless or how big or small it may be, and thank him for the blessing we have, we praise ourselves because we think it was really small and we think its too small to be bothering God with! It is him not you! No matter how small it is. And when we thank God for the little things he has done for us, he will do greater things for us.

Summary

We know he is God and have given our lives to him, but do we trust him personally?

We need to acknowledge the fact that we are like puppets, and God is the puppet master he is in total control. God has power to influence your will or the will of any other human being, if he wills it to be that way. He is God, he has absolute control over all things and if he didn’t want you to be reading this, even if you have free will; if he didn’t want you to, you wouldn’t!

Those that trust him are totally dependent on him and no one else!

• Not what the doctor says
• Not how much we can see in our bank accounts
• Not what we think
• Not even how we feel!

Trusting God brings blessing!  But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
 and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7

Conclusion

Our task now is to build up our confidence and trust in God; when you find yourself in a difficult situation try reminding yourself whom you trust by saying my hope is in the lord and my confidence is in God! (Say that out Loud, it does something to my spirit when I do, Go on give it a shot!) This would then start to automatically come to our mind when we face a hopeless situation! When we put our hopeless situation in God it becomes hopeful, because just as God can breathe life into a dead person, he can breathe hope into any situation, and when we learn to trust God constantly and it becomes a habit, we become “like trees growing near a stream that have our roots sent out to the water, not afraid when the hot weather comes, because their leaves stay green; they have no worries when there is no rain; they keep on bearing fruit “(Jeremiah 17 vs. 8).

Here is a Song to Listen to Whilst You Leave a Comment and tell us what you think about trusting God or anything else. Thanks & God Bless!

On January 16, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia lifted off for what was supposed to be a routine flight. Shortly after lift-off a piece of insulating foam from the shuttle’s external fuel tanks broke off and struck Columbia’s left wing. This action was caught on video, but it was presumed that no serious damage had occurred. However, serious damage had occurred. The foam from the fuel tanks punctured the wing’s thermal protection system.

The seriousness of the damage became evident when Columbia reentered the earth’s atmosphere on February 1. The damaged wing was no longer protected from the extreme heat caused during reentry. The shuttle disintegrated in midair killing all seven astronauts. NASA’s failure to correctly assess the damage prevented it from taking action that could have avoided the devastating results.

Mankind faces a similar but even more tragic situation. Shortly after creation, Adam sinned. With Adam as the head, the whole human race fell under God’s condemnation. Sin now rules every unregenerate heart, and if it had its way, it would destroy and damn every soul.

What Does God Think About Your Sin?
If you refuse to see your sin as God does, you cannot escape His eternal judgment. If you want to deny your guilt or hide your own sinfulness, you’ll never discover the cure for sin. And if you try to justify your sin, you’ll forfeit the justification of God. Until you understand how offensive your sin is before God, you can never know Him.

Sin is abominable to God-He hates it (cf. Deuteronomy 12:31). Sin is contrary to His nature (Isaiah 6:3; 1 John 1:5). It stains the soul and degrades humanity’s nobility. Scripture calls sin “filthiness” (Proverbs 30:12; Ezekiel 24:13; James 1:21) and likens it to a putrefying corpse-sinners are the tombs that contain stench and foulness (Matthew 23:27). The ultimate penalty-death-is the consequence of sin (Ezekiel 18:4, 20; Romans 6:3). The human race is in bad shape.

God wants you to understand how bad sin is and how terrifying its consequences are. You dare not take sin lightly or dismiss your own guilt frivolously. Quite the contrary-you should hate sin.

But sin tempts the best of saints, and even the godliest among us commit sin. David was a man who followed after God with all his heart (1 Kings 14:8); and yet he entered into temptation and committed unimaginable sin-adultery, deception, betrayal, and murder. And until God confronted David through the prophet Nathan, David denied his sin. That’s the natural tendency of every fallen sinner.

What Do You Think About Your Sin?
If a man of David’s caliber can fall so terribly, where does that leave you and me? If you’re honest, you’ll admit that you sometimes love your sin, delight in it, and seek opportunities to act it out. You know instinctively you are guilty before a holy God, yet you inevitably attempt to camouflage or disavow your sinfulness. In a word, you deny it, just like David did.

Like the rest of fallen humanity, your denial of sin falls into three general categories: you seek to cover it up, you try to justify yourself, and, most often, you are oblivious to your sin.

First, you try to cover up. That’s what King David tried to do when he sinned against Uriah. He had committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. When she became pregnant, David first plotted to make it seem as if Uriah was the father of the baby (2 Samuel 11:5-13). When that didn’t work, he schemed to have Uriah killed (vv. 14-17). That only compounded his sin.

For all the months of Bathsheba’s pregnancy, David continued to cover his sin (2 Samuel 11:27). Later, when David repented, he confessed, “When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer” (Psalm 32:3-4).

Second, you attempt to justify yourself. Adam blamed Eve, whom he described as “the woman whom You gave to be with me” (Genesis 3:12, emphasis added). In blaming Eve, Adam was blaming God too. God, he reasoned, was responsible for the woman who victimized him.

You also try to excuse your wrongdoing by saying it’s someone else’s fault. Or you argue that you have a valid reason for sin. You convince yourself that it’s OK to return evil for evil (cf. Proverbs 24:29; 1

Thessalonians 5:15; 1 Peter 3:9). You can call sin a sickness, a mental condition, or a hormone imbalance; you can excuse yourself as a victim; you can even deny what you’ve done is really wrong. Your sinful heart is endlessly creative in finding ways to justify its own evil.

Third, you can be oblivious to your own sin. Whether in ignorance or presumption, you sin, and you sin often. That’s why David prayed, “Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins” (Psalm 19:12-13). It’s those “hidden faults” that God sees in plain daylight, and they are just as offensive to Him as the “presumptuous sins.” Because sin is so pervasive, you naturally tend to be insensitive to your own sin, just as a skunk is impervious to its own odor.

What Are You Going to Do About Your Sin?
Sin is a horrible malignancy for which there is no human cure. It is an incurable leprosy of the soul (Isaiah 1:4-6), and all humanity is sick with it from top to bottom, inside and out.

As a sinner, you cannot improve your own condition. Jeremiah 13:23 says, “Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then you also can do good who are accustomed to doing evil.” Your tears and sorrow can’t atone for your sin. Your “good” deeds can’t make amends for your wrong against God. Your prayers and personal devotion can’t soften your guilt or cover it in any way.

And don’t buy into the erroneous concept of purgatory-the fires of hell over a million lifetimes could never purify the soul from its own corruption or atone for its own sin. If you are looking for a do-it-yourself solution to the problem of sin, you only shackle yourself all the more securely to your guilt.

But there has to be a solution to our problem; there must be a way God can satisfy His perfect righteousness and still display His rich mercy toward sinners. I’m delighted to tell you that there is a solution to the human sin problem-it’s called the Gospel. The cross of Christ provided the way to God by enabling the only acceptable Sacrifice to atone for human sin once for all.

Our Lord, the sinless One, was the Lamb of God offered as a perfect sacrifice for sin (John 1:29)-it was the very purpose for which He came. “You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin” (1 John 3:5). Isaiah prophesied, “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried…He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him” (Isaiah 53:4-5, emphasis added).

Jesus Christ “offered Himself without blemish to God” to cleanse our consciences (Hebrews 9:14). He paid the penalty to the fullest on our behalf. All the sins of everyone who believes are imputed to Christ, and He died for them. Jesus then rose from the dead to declare His victory over sin and death-”[He] was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification” (Romans 4:25).

Furthermore, God reckons all believers righteous in Christ-He accounts Christ’s righteousness to the believer. That’s the truth taught in 2 Corinthians 5:21: “[God] made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

God redeems those who believe and makes them new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17). If you are a believer, you know what I’m talking about. God gave you an entirely new nature, including a love for righteousness and hatred for sin.

If you’re unsure of your salvation, reading this should bring you to the point of despair. What can you possibly do to change your hopeless condition? Nothing. You are utterly dependent on God’s mercy. But if the cry of your heart is something akin to that of the Philippian jailer who said, “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30), take heart-the Spirit of God is already working in you! Here is Jesus’ clear and concise command to the troubled sinner: “Repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

To repent is to “turn away from all your transgressions” (Ezekiel 18:30). It means confessing and forsaking your iniquities (Proverbs 28:13), and completely hating your sin (2 Corinthians 7:11). If repentance stresses turning away from sin and self, believing emphasizes what to turn toward-”Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31).

You can’t lay hold of Christ while still clinging to your sin. Unless you pry your heart from the passing pleasures of sin, you’ll never see God. God’s salvation from the flames of an eternal hell involves a glorious liberation from the control of sin.

That’s good news! You can be set free from sin’s dominion of your life. Take hold of Christ, and take this gospel offer seriously. It may be your last opportunity!

Deuteronomy 12:31, Isaiah 6:3, 1 John 1:5, Proverbs 24:29

Life can seem like a journey of Ups & Down’s sometimes, good things happen and bad things also inevitably happen (unfortunately) and a most common question amongst both believers and unbelievers is, why did God let these bad things happen? Is it because we’ve been bad, or to punish us? Well the answer to that is NO.

More often than not, God lets things come into our lives, not to destroy us but to build us up in character and help us become who we where destined before the beginning of time to be. Trials are not meant to put us down they are meant to build us up.

God knew you before the thought of a being like you even emerged on this earth, he knew your before the beginning of the earth, he made you just the way you are for a reason, he says ” Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands (Isaiah 49:16)”, he knows us even to tiny details about us, check this out “even the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30)”, do you have every strand of your hair numbered? I’m guessing the answer to that is an Obvious NO! He knows you better than you know yourself

His plans for you are Far Greater Than Yours Could Ever Be!!

I could write a thousand words about how God’s plan for you is always the best plan, I could tell you stories or even include videos of people whose life God’s plan was made manifest, though that would be extremely helpful, I will not do that in this case, what I want to do now is take you face to face with what God has to say about his plans, I want to drive home just three short points.

Let me take you on a little Journey, Please Come with Me…

1 – He does not think the same way we do!

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9″ – This portion of scripture is marvelous (as so the whole scriptures) let this passage be a mirror for you and remind you that if God’s ways are so vastly different from our ways then we will inevitably not always understand what he is doing, and it may seldom make no sense to us, however if we wait on him and trust him, it will make more sense than we could ever have imagined, we can learn to trust God more by really falling in love with him and having an active relationship with him, think of it like a marriage, would you talk to your wife/husband once a week on a Sunday ? You would talk daily, and as you know him/her better your trust for him/her will increase, when you have an active relationship with God your trust will increase.

2 – He is THE master planner!
He didn’t put you on this earth for nothing, He has a plan specifically for you, Ephesians 1:11 says – “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will” – This piece of scripture shows us that God has planned for us, even before our existence and everything that happens in our life is to enable us to be changed more to fit the purpose of his plan.

Romans 8:28 says “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”- There is a valuable lesson to be learned here, God calls us to his purpose, he plans for us, he lets both good and bad things get into our life, so we can be in the best shape to fulfill our Destiny; to do what we have predestined us to do, and because of this any bad things that happen to us is nothing compared to the glory that we will see in heaven, or on earth when we see Gods work coming to a completion in us.

Look at it this way, ever been to the gym? First its hard, and you feel pain afterwards, but after perseverance and consistency you begin the pain begins to go away, you become more confident about it, and before you know it, you see the muscles coming out! its the same concept with trials in our lives, they are not to destroy us, even if they hurt, just like the gym hurts, it would be just for a while

3 – Doe’s it all come down to Love?

In the scripture above (Romans 8:28) The promise there includes this “all things good works for the good of those who love him” not only is loving God a prerequisite to be able to stand on this promise and fully proclaim its promises and any other promise in the bible, it also shows that the Christian life is more of a relationship with God than anything else, again think of it like a marriage, in marriage love doesn’t decrease with time, it increases, through the good times and the bad times together, they get closer. Knowing each other much better than they knew each other when they first fell in love, their love grows stronger. Our love for God grows stronger when we spend more time with him, and meditate on his word, he becomes more of a strong active reality with us, and I tell you friends when God is that real to you, even a multitude of problems can not move the very sole of your feet, the problems of the world become nothing to you, because you live in an active reality of the presence of God, This is my wish and prayer for myself and every one who reads this, that God would become so real to us, and his love would abide so much in us, that we can truly and honestly do what is said in James 1:2 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds”

Thank you very much for coming on this journey with me, Remember that no matter what happens, God’s plan will always prevail, and strive to get closer to him everyday, let his love be real in you, and let his light shine through you, so when the darkness of troubles and trials come (which they will) Your light would be shining so bright it would do nothing but re-enforce the truth that you are a shining light, SHINE TO THE WORLD FRIENDS!
Shalom!

PS: I encourage you to forward this and share this with any friends or family you know that may be going through trials, be a blessing.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”” John 14:6

Have you ever stood in a book store and surveyed the number of books that have a number of ways to do most anything? There’s everything from 8 Minute Workouts to 8 Mindful Steps to Happiness to 7 Principles for Making a Marriage and 7 Days to Whiter Teeth. Remember Steven Covey’s, Steven Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People? He put the words “proactive” and “synergize” on the map.

An edition of U.S. News featured on the front cover “50 Ways to Improve Your Life in 2006.” The inclusive list covered everything from flossing your teeth to enjoying a massage to joining a singing group. It seems that everybody writes or reads books that boil anything down to less than ten precise steps to accomplish any goal.

We live in a scientific and technological culture where people believe that every problem can be solved by applied techniques (six steps to a better whatever). How much has this way of viewing life shaped you?

Christian bookstores are not immune this way of thinking. Notice how much it looks like the self-help section of your local secular bookstore. Whether it’s a better marriage or a stronger prayer life, there are numerous books that offer it in six or seven easy steps.

Pastors run to church growth conferences to hear the latest “formula,” in however many steps the speaker may think it takes to grow their church. It all seems so right, so logical so reasonable. The sell books like 5 Good Minutes to Change Your Spiritual life and 100 Morning Practices to Help You Stay Calm and Focused All Day Long.

As Christians, we often think there is some magic formula out there to dramatically change us and make all of our problems go away overnight. Well, it isn’t quite that easy. A lot of self help, spiritual and otherwise are on the shelves of local book stores. Some contain sound advice and some are marginal, if not outright incorrect. Be careful what you load into your brain and be sure you know the core values of the author and don’t believe that a few steps practiced and applied in your life can remake you.

There is only one way and it is a one step process. Jesus said:, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). I suggest that if you really want to change your life this year, commit yourself to follow Him and read His Word every day.

In a world that tells us to conform, Jesus tells us to transform and to present ourselves as a living sacrifice.

So, for us all, may this be the year of transformation, the year of presentation, the year we surrender all we have to the one who holds the keys to joy, peace and contentment. The path to that goal is daily Bible reading, committed worship, not just in church, but in all we do. May this year be the year we renew our pledge to love God more, to seek His face and His plan for our lives more clearly and to draw close to His Word each and every day.

Right now is our most exciting time ever. Last year is history. Next year lies in the future, but this is the only time we will ever have to live right now. So let’s live it to the fullest, changing our lives and changing the lives of others.

Question: What is a goal that you have for the future, and how can your goal be used to honor God?

Hello guys, friends can be different things to different people, but here I’m particularly addressing real friendship, there’s something about friendship that’s so fascinating. Friends can lift you up, they can pull you down, and they can be like medicine to help you heal your wounds. They’re around when you have no one to talk to, they know all the things you do so you don’t need to hide things from them, and sometimes when you’re down their very presence could uplift you and get you smiling again J.

Dear reader, who is your friend? Who is that person that you could always count on?, someone who would never let you down, that person you have spent time both building and cultivating a relationship with, slowly getting to know each other, finding out what each other likes and what they love to do, that person who knows all your secrets? Truth is, we all need a friend, and not feeling the need of friendship could be more of insecurity; than independence.

The important message here is, our friends can make us or break us. Friendship is a good thing and one of the most important parts of our lives; the kind of friends you have or choose to have could either destroy your life or help you get one step closer to your destiny. There are some things to consider when choosing friends that need to be in your life and friends that don’t need to be in your life. These are things much deeper than “we get along” (though that is an important factor). Here are some important things to consider:

What kind of values do they add to your life: When we are around people they influence us, either positively or negatively, and they enable us to carefully study our friends and the values they have added to our lives. This could be a very good factor in determining if that friend is worth keeping, or if that friendship may not be the best.

How truthful are they to you?: When you do something you know is wrong, and it’s clearly obvious your friend knows so too, do they tell you it’s wrong or do they just support you in doing the wrong things? If a person truly loves you, as any person worth being called a friend should, they would tell you what you do is wrong, and help you work towards changing it. This is vitally important because, if you have an aspect of your character that drastically needs change, and your friend knows about it but keeps it from you, that could ruin you later on in life, and the chances of you changing it may be slimmer simply because you would feel that people previously around you accepted it and feel it’s not wrong, but if those who love you and who you spend most of your time with when you get into the teenage years point it out to you, you’re more likely to change.

No One is Perfect – We all have faults, and one of the duties of a good friend is to advise us on our faults, because as we probably all know it’s more difficult to see your own fault.

Whats the point of the friendship? – Yea, you read it right, “What is the point?” As friends what do you guys do together, do you add values to each other’s lives or do you take away from each other’s lives?  This should help you decide if the friendship is an asset (Helping you get forward) or a liability (Pulling you back).

Is it hindering your most important relationships with your most important friend? –             Is your friendship hindering your relationship with Jesus? Truth is, Jesus is your most important friend, he is the only friend who would never let us down, and who knows all our secrets and loves us.

I’m in no way saying ignore all your friends, what I’m saying is, maybe some friendships should be left at “Hello/Hi” while others could get a bit deeper?

Well it’s a new year, maybe it’s time to get rid of the liabilities in your life and bring in some assets ?

Have a Great Year,
Stay Blessed.

Hello God’s beautiful people, I woke up this morning feeling so blessed, it was a feeling that regardless of what i’m going through or do go through things are going to be ok, and that no matter what happens, no matter what i think, no matter how bad or discouraged i feel things are going to get better. It came with a realisation that God is constantly getting involved in my life, teaching me, training me, helping daily to be who I was born to be.

heres some news, he is doing the same for you! He loves u so much its unbelievable, I mean why would a being so vast, his very speech could shake the whole earth give himself, make himself so small for a group of individuals who did not in any shape or form deserve it!

Here’s a message for two groups of people, if you’re a christian and you haven’t really been on the same page as God, guess what..he doesn’t love you any less! You just need to say sorry and get back with him, remember he loved you before you knew him.
If you’re not a christian he doesn’t love you any less, I mean he didn’t come to die because we where all good, he came to die because apart from that there would be no way for us to meet him and be friends with him again..dear reader, is the mighty God your friend today? You’re excited for christmas and all the gifts you will receive ? Dear reader question yourself today, are you as excited about God, and what he has don’e for you ? He has given you the greatest gift of all.

Anytime I meditate on what he has done for me, I cant help but admit how beautiful it all is! My friends, God is doing a work in your life and my life; a work so great, that we couldn’t even begin to imagine it. If you truly know him, and he has shown the reality of who he is in your life, then you should be as excited as I am, and you should understand my excitement and my joy. This is not just being happy, its joy, deep down in my soul, when i’m sad or glad, the joy remains. it’s not based on a condition or something happening, its from God and no one can take it from me, if you know God you should have this joy, because without it where is your strength coming from, as for me the joy of the lord is my strength!

And if you don’t know God, well he wants to know you, he loves you more than you could ever imagine, and he is there with you, right now, he knows all you’re thinking, your hopes, dreams even doubts, he wants to give you the answers to your questions, you just need to be humble and let him.

I want to encourage you this morning, that God is there, he has been and always will be, and he sees your heart and knows how you feel and all your problems, he knows your strengths and your weaknesses, he knows the silly mistakes we’ve all made, he knows the mistakes we will make, but guess what… all things work together for good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose, are you called ? we all are..we just need to get with his program, because he is there are you where he is?

Super Quick Devotion – (By Charles Spurgeon)

There is a time appointed for weakness and sickness, when we shall have to glorify God by suffering, and not by earnest activity. There is no single point in which we can hope to escape from the sharp arrows of affliction; out of our few days there is not one secure from sorrow. Beloved reader, set not your affections upon things of earth; but seek those things which are above, for here the moth devoureth, and the thief breaketh through, but there all joys are perpetual and eternal. The path of trouble is the way home. Lord, make this thought a pillow for many a weary head!

Stay Blessed,
Forgiven

Some people say that life is short, I see that as true because life is simply a path to something greater, a way for you to decide where you spend eternity depending on your performance.l In principle, it’s the same way college or school is a way for you to decide where you take your life next depending on how well you perform and how seriously you take it. For this reason alone we see that life is nothing outside of Jesus because without God in the equation life would all be pointless. If we came from the Big Bang theory which was an accident, this would mean we are a product of an accident, we are a meaningless existence. However, think about this: Have you ever met anyone who believes they don’t have a purpose or even a destiny ? I for one have not, therefore, this alone is proof enough that we have a loving God that is the Creator!

Sometimes we forget what God means to us and we search for answers and explanations to questions even though the answer is inside us. With this knowledge that we now have it is extra important to live our life the way it should be lived, lead a life of purpose and ambition. Live a life that is for a reason which would ultimately glorify God

A lot of people make mistakes by looking at their present situation and give up on hope because they feel it’s too late to change or because they feel change is too difficult. However, let me tell you something: God thinks differently, through the bible God says “for I know the plans I have for you and they are not plans for bad but plans to give you a hope and a future”.

I see something called destiny written all over that, that is your destiny to achieve what God has for you, if you are doing anything else then that is not in line with God’s ultimate plan for your life! One thing God taught me is that he showed me it’s never too late for change and he never gives up on any humble heart that turns to him for forgiveness and redemption, he can take your life and turn it around, stop trying to do things you have always tried to do that has never worked.

Give God a serious try and let him work wonders through your life, I am living proof that this is true, I boldly say this because he has brought me a long way from a life that was taking me nowhere but to death and terrifying hell! I dare you to take a step today, cry out to God untill he changes you and saves you from your own self. Be humble about it, tell him that you need him in your heart, tell him that you have messed up if you are serious about change and be honest about your words, he won’t let you down! Take the first step to becoming the real you today! Let God change you! God bless.

Sometimes there are answers to big questions in simplicity, look around you; the trees, the animals, the whole earth! Its fascinating and surprisingly perfect, the animals that need to run fast to survive are built just for that, birds that need to fly high are built just for that as well, they are perfect for their purpose, birds where made to fly, and that’s what they do, how awkward it would be for a bird to walk all its life and never realise it could fly, sad as it may seem some people, live life like a bird that can’t fly, they try to do things they have no business doing, and focus on things that cause distraction and this leads to them not actually discovering what they where put on this earth for, sometimes we need to take a step back, stop living a passive life, and ask, why am I here, what has God put me on this earth for..when you discover what God made you to do, you would realise you where made to do just that, and nothing else would bring as much fulfilment as doing what you where made for, if you live a passive life there would always be an emptiness inside. Ask God to show you what he has planned for you and then go ahed and do what you where born to do!

The Bible Says : For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – Jeremiah 29:11.
