Not Always!

Have there been times in your life when you thought you had all the faith or knew exactly what to do and how to do it? Or that feeling that made it seem like you were high in the Holy Ghost and every mountain was going down and valley lifted high? 
Well, I could go on and on describing the things that could cross our minds at that point, but the real question is do you always feel that way? 

I'm sure you are thinking about it and you're about to say NO. Which is exactly my point! You do not always live or feel a certain way for the rest of your life.
Starting on a happy note seems good, but what about times when we think the world is going to end because it wasn't going as we've planned it? As the world ended? No. Will it end one day? Yes. Will it end on our terms? No. So, irrespective of what we feel or don't feel, the Lord still controls things.

We are not supposed to be controlled by our feelings. They are fickle and can't be trusted. The path of a man is full of ups and downs and because we are constantly exposed to different kinds of information at different times in life, different emotions are produced depending on what we hear at a certain time.

Isn't it amazing how you can think you have everything together today, and tomorrow just an information from a friend can disrupt or shake your belief, joy, or peace system? 

I thought I had faith until it was shaken.

Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing (James 5:13; MSG).

That's why the word of God is settled forever. The Lord knows we can't always have it together or have things go our own way, and He wants us to know that irrespective of what we feel or don't feel, He's right there with us in the middle of it. 
Please Trust Him.
Always.

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
