SEEK HIM

I was sharing with some friends today, and we were talking about how you might be living but feel so low, you know? Waking up thankful for another day but see the stagnancy in your life and wonder, what you are doing. Of what benefit is the job you're doing, besides the income of course. You think of your age mates, colleagues, friends, relatives, and start comparing, what are you not doing right since they seem to be progressing and you try but seem to be on hold.

I have heard people saying they're tired of their lives, they want to give up. They think dying is their next option, probably the only solution, a rest from everything for good, you know? I listen and I think of myself too, think of when many times I've wanted to give up. Does it get to this? Maybe it's not about suicide, it's just the thought of resting in peace and not waking up again. It could be a solution, but have I exhausted every option? 
Sometimes we're too drained to pray, you know, to read the Word. Other times we're too guilty, too ill to do anything or in pain maybe lost a loved one. Life happens. As humans, we can go through quite a lot in just 24 hours. So we think, well if God has let this happen, why should I talk to Him about it? 


Now that's where my brethren come in, people to stand with my at my weakest. So I ask them to pray with me, for me, because of me. [James 5:16]  The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. As they do it, I pray. Might be uttering a sentence and not having the strength to continue but again, I pray. I could say the Lord's prayer. I could ask God to hear me, heed my cry to Him, of course I give my thanksgiving to Him while at it. 

My point? Before giving up, share with a friend or a spiritual leader, or a counselor, or a therapy group. While at it, pray, pray, pray without seizing. Ask God to show you the way out, to strengthen you because you might be weak. Ask our Maker to give you His peace and to turn your life around. If you search for God, He will be found and He will answer you.
Don't give up yet. Tomorrow is full of the unexpected. It shall get better.
[Psalm 32:8]  [Jer 32:27]  [Prov 16:3]


So now, what if.... I talk to God. God doesn't share my secrets, I just tell Him and He listens. Okay. But how does He talk back? I ask. Well, He has written everything I need to hear from Him in the Bible. If I take a Bible, how do I know where I will get that Word speaking to the current situation? 



While praying, I will get a Word spoken to me. If not that, God will send someone to speak to me the issues I just raised. Okay, so do I wait for someone to just approach me and start talking or what happens? Well, God is a God of order, He will make it work.  


Sharing with a confidant, {sharing is caring ❤☺} Reading the Word and Praying are everything.

GETHSEMANE

One sunny afternoon, (yeah, it was on a very hot day) I met with my two friends for Bible study and I can tell you guys, it's always exciting to share the word and get revelations you had not perceived. It's like finding a key to a treasure room you've been craving to get in to. During the Bible study, we shared about a few things and the story diverted. Our leader was talking about God first mentioning that He is the I AM who I AM to Moses in Exodus 3:14. God was saying to the Israelites that He is (that father, friend, protector, healer, provider, counselor , teacher, etc... yes, all that they would want Him to be,) that, He was. I AM that I AM.  Now fast forward to the New Testament. Mark 14:32-52 When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane and the soldiers came to arrest Him after betrayal by Judas, he said to them; I AM HE. Immediately, everyone fell to the ground. He was completing what He started, He had said to Moses, I AM that I AM, and now, He was pr...

PURPOSE

Apostle Tengu Yoka of Resurrection Temple preached on a sermon themed  The Deep calls to the Deep. T he sermon was explaining how God created everyone with a specific purpose which must be accomplished but He alone knows it and reveals it at the right time.   Rahab was a prostitute in the days of Joshua during the exodus. Though a prostitute, Rahab helped two spies accomplish their duty and all this was possible because of her stature at that time. During those days, prostitutes in Jericho were forced to live next to the walls surrounding the city. She was able to host the spies at a strategic location and knew God would deliver Jericho into the hands of the Israelites [ Joshua 2:8-11 ].  Rahab's assignment was fulfilled when she helped the people of God spy on their enemies. For this reason she became a woman of honor in her time. The seed which is purpose placed in her by God bore fruits when it was time and all this happened for the Glory of God.  ...
