Is Anything Too Hard For The Lord?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Is anything too hard for the Lord? It’s easy to answer No and yet have doubts when challenges come your way; especially when you have waited for years to have a need met.

In Genesis 18, Sarah laughed when The Lord said she was going have a baby. It’s tempting to be critical about what she did but I believe she was real. Who would ever thought that someone would get pregnant at 90? She doubted but The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord ?…” (Genesis 18:13, 14 NLT)

Fast forward to the New Testament; Zechariah. A Jewish Priest who was righteous in God’s eyes and carefully obeyed all of the Lord’s command and regulations. The Bibles says they were very old. Yet their age (or limitation) couldn’t hinder what God had destined for their lives.

Be honest with yourself right now; Do you, sometimes, doubt God’s Power to perform?

Maybe facts show that you don’t qualify for what you seek, or your sickness is incurable, or your ministry is declining, or you are addicted to certain habits, etc. Truth is that I don’t have any idea about your situation BUT the question still remains; IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the Lord , the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? (Jeremiah 32:26, 27 KJV)

Friend, nothing is too difficult for Him. Don’t forget that we walk by faith not by sight. We don’t live by what we see, but by what we believe. God is turning your situation around now in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Everyday is a Special Day

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
(Psalm 118:24, NKJV)

How would you react if Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates deposits $3600 in your account every hour in a day, or $86400 in your account every day? That’s $31536000 in a year. But there is a clause; you’ve got to spend the money…no carry forward. And the last warning is that You will account for what you do with daily deposits at the end of your life.

There are 365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, and 3600 seconds in an hour. You are credited with 86400 seconds every day. What do you do with these seconds? To break it down further, if you wake up at 6 O’clock each day, then you’ve automatically spent 21600 seconds. Additional 7200 seconds is gone if you sleep at 10pm. Every tick on the clock is irrecoverable. One hour on social media doing nothing is 3600 spent.

How have you plan to live each day this year? Are you going to start you day worrying about how you wasted your time yesterdays, or you are going to be thankful to God for blessing you with another 86400 seconds? Are you going to start you day worrying about what may or may not work tomorrow, or you are going to strategically plan how to use your remaining seconds after giving some 28800 seconds to sleep?

Let us learn to be thankful each day and ask God to direct our steps in using these precious seconds judiciously. These seconds are gifts that can’t be stored. Oh! how I wish they could be stored…I could do lots of great things BUT they pass by like the wind. I’ve learnt to treat each day Special.

God does new things every day that’s why he sends the dew to refresh every morning. It’s therefore important to understand the concept of One day at a time so that you can enjoy God’s blessings for the day. Remember that Yesterday is history and Tomorrow is mystery. Today is the ONLY DAY you have control over.

One other important reason you should treat each day special is that each day draws you closer to your grave. It’s appointed that you would die one day…what if TODAY were your last, how well would you live it knowing that judgement awaits you?

That’s why the psalmist said this is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. God will send prosperity, He will bless you But till you respect the value of 86400 seconds He gifts you, you won’t fully appreciate the things He does for you. God bless you

You can Handle It

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13, KJV)

It’s a week into the new year and guess what is staring at me; my vision, goals and objectives. They don’t look friendly at all but I am determined to keep moving forward. I can handle it.

It’s not about what the year has to offer but about what we have to do in the year. Nothing will happen if we do nothing.

Regardless of the size of your vision or goals, it is attainable as God has made everything you would need available. You can handle it. God brought you this far because you have a story to tell this year. And your success story isn’t going to be about your network, certificates, qualification, experience, money, achievements, possessions, family, etc but about CHRIST, Who will gives you strength and power.

Paul understood that his strength to do all things came from Jesus Christ. In effect no principality, power, demon, or individual could stop him. This will be your story. On Christ the Solid Rock you stand therefore You can Handle whatever comes your way. Your vision is attainable. You can Handle it!

Don’t be intimidated by other people’s testimonies because yours will blow their mind too. Keep moving one step ahead of the other, always reassuring yourself that You can Handle it because Christ is your strength.
