Trusting God

Labels:

When you feel empty and defeated, turn to God for help, because he is the source of your strength. If you feel like God isn’t by your side, it’s definitely a sign that you are doubting his presence. When Jesus' disciples' boat began to sink, they had no idea that Jesus was testing them. They panicked and screamed, believing they were going to die, and Jesus responded, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" (8:25–26 Matthew).

It's difficult to hold on to all of the promises we've learnt during the good days when we're in the midst of a storm. But often, our faith is tested to see if we are practicing and applying God's word.

When you have Jesus as your foundation, you can not be moved or shaken (Matthew 7:24–27).

 The only secure foundation on which we can expect to stand is Jesus. He is the foundation of who we are and what we aspire to be. He is the solid foundation of our faith. We are invited to abide in Christ, to rest in His love, to rely on Him in all situations, and to give Him our cares and anxieties regardless of the storm we find ourselves in. May we take to heart Christ's simple exhortation to live by faith in His promises rather than doubting.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Warning from God: Take your calling very seriously!!!

Imagine the consequences if Jesus Christ had not embraced the mission on earth that he was given by the father (John 6:38). Imagine what could have happened to millions of souls. Consider what could have happened to the Israelites if Moses had never taken his calling seriously when God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:10).  God has invested something in you, and it takes you to pray and discover what he has invested in you. Some of you God gave you the anointing of healing, but you aren’t even aware. Millions of souls are lost out there, and this situation requires you and me to take our calling very seriously. So many people are dying in hospitals from cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, while you are ignoring doing the will of the father, and you expect things to go well with you. Certainly, not everyone is destined for the same path, as God has assigned us various missions and duties. The key here is to discover your true identity. When you don't take ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
