ISN'T THERE A NEED?

 

I don't know if some of us have been in a situation or dilemma which is really depressing and such that along the line the outcome of such situation is so positive that we would be eventually thanking God for making us pass through those times.
I remembered a very tight situation I was in a particular year, it involved me taking a decision I never knew it would be very hard to live by the consequence. I felt really bad, even if the decision I made seemed right but the consequence was really depressing truth be told and I kept on wondering if there was a need for that particular decision, unknown to me it was a preparation for what is ahead of me, and I discovered this about 2 years after the whole incidence.
Going further, the story of Esther in the scriptures gave me an insight to the reason some things are needful to happen in our lives. Looking at how she became the queen, how tiring and unrealistic the whole process would be before she emerged as the queen little did she know that there was a future need for that position she occupied; God  used her to save her people in that land ( Esther 4:14).
Also, most of us are familiar with the story of Joseph in the scriptures, and how he eventually became a governor in a foreign land, all the troubles he found himself in before he got to where the Lord had already prepared for him. God sent Joseph ahead to save his world at that time from hunger and death due to the predicted famine ( Genesis 45:7), his brothers never knew there was a need for what they did ignorantly, they were basically helping him fulfill destiny.
In this world we live in, there is a reason for any situation we are in, it might be for correction, edification, upliftment of our individual selves. The truth of the matter is when we face troubles in any sphere of our lives, we should be careful as to how we handle the situation, as there could be a need for that particular situation looking at the two earlier scriptural examples cited. 
In conclusion, whatever situation we find ourselves in we should always know that there is a need for such situation and handle such situation with the leading of the Spirit of God through seeking the face of God. This should be our reaction to life threatening issues and I pray the grace to do so the Lord will grant us. Amen!

PRAYER: Lord Jesus the grace to always see that there is a need for every life tormenting situation I face, grant me. Amen.

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will fo...

WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT THE CREATION

                                      The Bible records in the books of Genesis the account of the creation. In the very first verse of the first chapter, it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". This is an automatic revelation that God is the Creator of all creations. We can simply say he is the brain behind every creation and invention in the entire universe. This is also supported by the Book of John chapter 1 which revealed God created everything in the world by His word and this same word was God Himself. What a marvel! Also, the book reveals that it was this same word that gave life to everything that was created, and this life was the light of men which means before His predominance there was darkness all over.  One thing that baffles me is that God made man the head of His creation, why do men after knowing this truth decide to worship the creations mo...
