Just to
encourage you. I had a rough day before church on a certain day . Got news that
unsettled me regarding the week ahead. I prayed about it but I was still
worried. After church I went out and finished late so I decided to buy
bread,eggs and milk. I went to bed asking God to step into my week and save me
the embarrassment. Anyway at night I had a dream, I saw the eggs I bought the
night before. I was told that some of the eggs were bad. I woke up and just
before leaving home decided to fry the eggs. The first one was bad, so I
started breaking each in a separate bowl. I had very bad eggs amongst all.
Anyway just then the holy spirit said to me if God can be concerned about the
eggs you bought, he definitely would do more on any issue that confronts you. Now
I have peace to encouraged others knowing that God is still on his throne.
That said I
know the problems confronting my family and business won't just go away but
there's someone well able to handle the moments as they come. God can and will
protect us all, he promised in his word that he would never leave us nor
forsake us. If I have to break that down, it would read like this: I would sort
you out in all situations, even in cases where you made wrong choices and you
have to face the consequences of those choices, I would face it with you. So
that God is not an insulation from challenges but he is a shock absorber. This
understanding would help you stay calm in the face to trials and temptation.
Like he
protected my breakfast by revealing to me that some eggs were bad, God is in
the business of revealing details of yet to be events to his children; he
certainly hopes that we would heed the warnings and do the right thing. For I
would have lost the eggs if I ignored the warning. This goes to show that Christians
have a role to play in bringing to pass the promises of God. There are certain
requirements that need to be met to enjoy the benefits of the kingdom. E.g
relationship and fellowship with the father.
Briefly let
me touch on both. Relationship is what the sinner needs to access the promises
of God. This means that you must be restored back to God through Jesus. You
must confess your sins and acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God and he came
in the flesh and died on the cross for
all of mankind and was raised back to life on the third day that who ever
believes would have eternal life. This guarantees you a relationship with God.
Secondly we
have fellowship; this is for Christians, its the essence of salvation. To
commune with the father to enable us replicate his will in all situations at
all time. For a believer to draw power for his relationship with God, you'll
need fellowship. Fellowship in my view is the hall way through which we journey
towards knowing God while relationship is the key to opening that door.
Relationship
and fellowship summarises the purpose of God and man. Prayer, worship etc are
instruments that are applied to building, maximising and running the
relationship as the case may be. God is very much interested in every little
detail of our lives. From little things like eggs to big things like sucess of
our businesses or purpose in life; God is captain of all. We need to rest in
this understanding and let God be God alone.
God bless
you.
