I'TS NOT WORTH IT : STOP RESISTING GOD IN YOUR LIFE

-



Dearly beloved, I welcome you all to this awesome month of June. May all that the Lord has for you this month be made manifest in your life in Jesus name, Amen. This month, I will be admonishing you on what I titled, ‘Stop resisting God in your life.’

The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” The New International Version of the same book of Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It is important to note by this scripture that God has great things in store for you, not just for your present but also for your future. What a wonderful Father. You facing difficult situations today can take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11 knowing that it is not a promise to immediately rescue you from hardship or suffering, but rather a promise that God has a plan for your life. and regardless of your current situation. He can work through it to prosper you and give you hope and a future. But there is something very important as a Christian you must understand that God does nothing in the life of a man outside His Word. “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalm 107:20. This is where Christians have problems; they want to have that which God has for them outside His word. They want to use their intellect and human ability to bring to pass that which God has for them, brothers and sisters; you will fall flat on your face. It is not possible.

God only knows His plan for your life and only Him knows how you can get there successfully. Why not follow Him instead of resisting Him. Resisting God’s word is resisting God. The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 10:1 thus, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.” How do you think God is going to make a way of escape in the midst of the temptation? Through His Word. You cannot be going through a situation, and you want God’s intervention and you are not ready to do to do as He says regarding that situation you are going through.

Psalm 81:11-16 have this to say, “But my people would not harken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts lust: and they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel has walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured forever. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.” You can vividly see God’s intention for His people, He wants them satisfied, He wants them well, he wants them prosperous, He wants them successful, He wants them victorious but they resist Him, they resist His Word. His Word is the way out of the predicament you are facing right now. Have you not tried all you could like the woman with the issue of blood in the book of Mark chapter five. But the Bible says not until she heard about Jesus (the Word) and acted based on what she heard she was not set free. God has strategically made His Word the solution to all of the problems of humanity. Go for His word and act on it, you will not only see the situation turn for your good but also see God’s plans made manifest in your life.

See you net month. God bless you.

What God has in store for us far exceeds what we can achieve on our own, it goes beyond our wildest imagination, those desires in us to achieve great things are product of the great things God has placed inside us but because we have not sort Him, we try to achieve these things based on what we see in the natural. We try to make sense of those things our spirit yearns for, we try to give them expression but we fail to go to Him that has put these things within us. You see people trying to achieve success in their careers, homes, businesses, academics, etc. thinking they will find true fulfillment. They dream of owning big companies, hoping to find fulfillment because they think that is the best way to get true fulfillment but every time a target is met a new one is created, yet the fulfillment they seek seems to elude them. All of creation seeks this fulfillment the creator has created and placed within them. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for t

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: STOP LOOKING BACK

Hello my beloved saints, I welcome you to the month of December in the name of Jesus. May the Lord who has brought you this far take you farther and cause you to see and experience His glory in this new month in Jesus name. I will be sharing with you on what I titled “Stop Looking Back.” The Bible made us to understand that as Christians we are in a race, 1st Corinthians 9:24, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain" . We are in a race and we must end up well, one thing we must do and consistently do is to stop looking back at our past, at our old lifestyle. No Christian can ever come to his or her place of victory in the Kingdom who consistently stays in his or her past. His or her past pleasures, failures, defeat, pain, lust, unforgiveness etc. It is one trap of Satan to keep a believer from making tangible progress. There is a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus which we must take to heart because
