Make Room For Your Blessings

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and he puts questions in our minds about the past and the future.

Ecclesiastes 3:11, CEV

There is a set time for everything you need. It could be today, tomorrow, next week, or next year. It takes faith to trust in God’s timing. The Scripture says that God makes everything happen at the right time. In other words, He knows the right time and we must be ready to receive.
This reminds me of what happened in the movie Facing The Giants. Mr. Bridges’ words motivated Coach Taylor to prepare his field against the Giants.

  • Mr. Bridges: Two farmers desperately needed rain. And both of them prayed for rain but only one of them went out and prepared his fields to receive it. Which one do you think trusted God to send the rain?
  • Coach Taylor: Well the one who prepared his fields for it.
  • Mr. Bridges: Which one are you? God will send the rain when He is ready. It’s your job to prepare your field to receive it.

God will do His part and I believe He is waiting for you to make room to receive. I heard a story about a guy who needed 32″ TV from his father. His father told him that there was no space in his ( the boy) room for the TV. The father traveled one weekend and when he returned, his son had dashed out his old TV and other things to create enough space for the 32″ TV. When his dad saw his faith, he bought the TV for him the following day.

God wants you to stay in faith. He wants you to prepare your field to receive. The farmer who prepared his field believed that God will send the rain. He didn’t have to wait for a sign to believe that God would send the rain.

  • How about you?
    • What are the things you seek from God?
    • Do you trust that God will send rain?
    • Have you or Are you preparing your field, even now?
    • In Mark 11:24, Jesus said “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

God will open the windows of heaven for you. He will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to store them. But the truth is you must be ready to receive. You have to prepare your field to receive His blessings.

God bless you!

Glorious Days Ahead

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

One attribute of God is that He is the God of progression. That is He always takes the next step forward. Anyone who walks with God moves from one level of glory to another, and you are no exception.

In the scripture, Jacob (Israel) left for Egypt when they were but a few in number. Only One, Joseph, went ahead to Egypt before the others joined him but in the end, they grew to millions in some 400 years. This same Egypt, which became a land of torment because they were slaves, was a secured nest or shelter God used to ensure that they were not scattered with time and also to keep His promise to Abraham. Egypt was not a stumbling block but a stepping stone for God’s children.

Today, you may be caught up in some Egypt (a profession, a relationship, a location, a company, a situation, etc). It was a good decision at the time but now it appears that you are caught up in a dungeon with no hope of seeing light. When you consider God’s promises for your life, like Israel, they are far from reach and your faith is gradually drowning in the waters of life.

Life has ways of knocking out your hope for a better tomorrow. Think about; Joseph landing in prison, or Moses running away from royalty, or Israel celebrating freedom only to appear before the red sea, or The Apostles witnessing Jesus’ death when they thought He would be with them longer, or Mandela in prison, or Steve Jobs getting fired from Apple, or Tyler Perry being homeless, or Elon Musk being broke and living on loans from friends, etc.

But regardless of how hard life hits you, remember that your God is the God of progression. He never intended for you to start a journey with Him, then ditch you halfway. His plan is to give you hope and a future. His plan is to help you achieve your purpose in this life. That was why He sent Jesus Christ. He is the orchestrator of the whole creation. The Bible says that without him, nothing was made that was made. That is everything you see was created by Jesus Christ and they revolve around Him. Thus with Him in your life, you have the propensity to create, attract, achieve everything you desire. This Egypt you see is not a stumbling block but a transitory moment.

So stop dwelling on how bad or challenging situations have been and look forward with hope that with Christ, your glory days are ahead of you. Soon you will look back and share your testimony to inspire others. All Glory to God. Amen

Power Thought: God Never Changes

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

People, events, and situations change with time but God doesn’t change.

He is who He says He is, and what He says He is. From everlasting to everlasting, He is the same God.

See God as a parent or guardian with many children under one roof. These kids may have different needs but they don’t change who the parent/guardian is. He/She loves them and cares for them in different ways, according to their specific needs. That is although God remains the Same, He has many ways of meeting His children’s needs.

Today, you can trust God’s Power is as potent as it was when He created the Word. The same Power that worked through Jesus Christ, and raised Him from the dead is alive and active in your life. Even now, He is working in you to perfect His purpose for your life. Don’t compare your life with anyone because like the parent/guardian described above, you are different and He has a different way of meeting your needs.
