Don’t QUIT Yet (1min Read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

This writing is for the person who is lost in his/her world, and may not understand everything happening in his/her life right now. It may look like the walls are closing in on you and your best option is to SETTLE, GIVE UP, OR QUIT.

Wait a minute,…

don't quit

WHY?

Because you are not alone. There are millions of people over the world who are caught up, one way or the other, in situations they have no control over. And just to let you know, it easy to QUIT.

The scripture says that Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way? (Proverbs 20:24, TLB)

Our God is Omniscience and its obvious that as Creator of your Life, He understands your life better and steers it on best pathway. Don’t try to understand everything that happens along the way because God’s ways are high above your ways. You can only Trust that He will Lead you along the best pathway for your life.

I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress. (Psalm 32:8, TLB)

In this month, let go the past, the pains, and anything that holds you back. Understand that GOD LEADS and these momentarily shocks aren’t meant to break you. Your father has taken the lead and making every crooked path straight.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. 7 If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7, TLB)

Today, GO on you knees and talk to your Father; Suddenly, you will SEE His Hand in your Situation. IT IS WELL

It Shall Come to Pass (30Sec Read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God's time“This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT)

Susan Boyle couldn’t win Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 but what she did surprised many. She was 47 years and unemployed when she went to audition for Britain’s Got Talent. According to her, she had a dream of becoming a professional singer but she hadn’t had the opportunity to make that dream come to pass. So at 47, she finally decided to move beyond her limitations. In short, her dream came to pass and the world applauded for her outstanding performance.

Could it be that you have waited for so long and nothing seem to happen?

The scripture says “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Habakkuk 2:3 KJV).

Everyone has dreams, aspirations, desires, etc but God has set time for everything we need. Consider this for a moment: Why does regulation permit a person to drive or apply for drivers’ license after certain age (say 14, 16, 17, or 18) depending on the jurisdiction?

You may have time set for your dreams but God, who is Omnipotent and Omniscience, knows the PROPER time to release the blessings. He is always on time. The vision you have is for appointed time.

But when [in God’s plan] the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the [regulations of the] Law, (Galatians 4:4, AMP)

Someone once asked me that “Why did Jesus wait for thirty years before he began His ministry? Don’t you think Jesus could have done more if He had started before thirty?”

I replied that “There is a set time for everything under the sun. And all we have got to do is to wait patiently, keep preparing our field, and Trust God for what He has promised to do. It pays to wait patiently than to give up.”

“Those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (Isaiah 40:31 AMP)

Friend don’t give up on your dreams. When you are tempted to give up, look up to Jesus for strength. Keep on moving forward and trust that God will work things out for your good. When the time is up, nothing can stop you. Susan didn’t give up. And her dream came to pass at age 47.

Be encouraged today that IT SHALL COME TO PASS.

He is always on Time

God's timeThis vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. (Habakkuk 2:3,NLT)

God has set time for every activity under heaven. There is time to sow and time to reap. There is time to conceive and time to give birth. However, God’s calendar doesn’t work like ours. He waits for the right time to supply our needs. He doesn’t work because you are in a hurry to receive yet  He is always on time.

It could be that you have been praying for something and nothing seems to happen. Be encouraged that so long as you keep doing your best each day, God will push things to your direction at the right time.

All you need to do is to WAIT patiently on the Lord. The scripture says God has made everything beautiful for its own time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

In the scriptures, Elijah sent message to King Ahab that he should ran because the rain was coming. King Ahab took the lead on his chariot but when Elijah started to run, he outran King Ahab who was on his chariot.

Notice king Ahab had chariot and he took the lead. He had an asset that made him move faster. In other words, he had advantage over Elijah. Yet Elijah got to the destination before he did. This tells me that the world around us may be moving fast but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can do things faster.

People around you may be rushing to get things done but when you wait for the Lord, He will give you strength to outrun those who have taken the lead. It doesn’t matter if they are ten years, or five years, or one year, or one month ahead. God can thrust you years ahead with one idea or one opportunity when the time is right.

Wait patiently on the Lord.
