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.

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
