God’s Provision in Difficult Times

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” (Mark 16:3)

Mary and the other women decided to go and anoint Jesus’ body. On their way, they pondered the difficult question. “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” It appeared to be an impossible quest, but they went anyway. The stone was very large, as described in the Bible. It was the challenge. What they didn’t know, however, was that God had already taken care of that. Jesus Christ, our Messiah, had resurrected. Hallelujah!

God would not place a purpose on your heart if He had no provision. Often, what seems impossible is influenced by the limits we place on ourselves. These limits are based on the information we have about the situation. And it becomes a tool for the enemy to keep us from going forward.

One day, I had to return to the office for an important assignment. Unfortunately for me that day, I had left the facility’s key at the office the day before. The greater part of me felt that I couldn’t access the office. It was a Saturday, and no one would be around to help me in. But I decided to go ahead. When I reached there, it happened that someone had just popped in, and he was wandering around the reception. He told me that he didn’t know what was holding him there. Upon seeing me, he believed that I was the reason.

Friend, God has already made provision for any impossible considerations you have made. Keep moving forward, as Jesus Christ has made all things possible. God bless you!

Is There A Need In Your Life?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Our God is a need-meeter. In a new day, we see the sun works, the earth revolves, enough oxygen for every Creature, water reaches us, etc. When Apostle Paul had an opportunity to testify about God in Acts 17:25, he said that God “…himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.” God will satisfy every need in your life.

  • The Reality I Face:

I have needs. No one has it all. Here is what I do: I constantly trust God to supply them.
Do I get the supply? Well! there were many things I prayed for a decade ago and when I look back now, I see them answered. Although they didn’t happen at the pace I thought they would, I could still testify that God made them possible.

This gives me the assurance that God has answers for present day needs. I tell folks that every new day brings me a renewed hope that whatever I am trusting God for is closer than it was yesterday. I choose to remain hopeful because I have no other source.

  • Trust in God:

So if you have a need, keep trusting God that someway somehow, possibly today, what you have long waited for will come to pass. One thing I would strongly counsel is that: Let God Be God.
Don’t try to figure out how He is going to make things happen because it adds to the stress and frustration that come with waiting. Know that God is Faithful and He will do it for you. He will graciously meet your every need in Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray This Prayer Daily

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.

(Psalm 32:8, NLT)

2020 has been classified by some as “bad year”, “wasted year”, “bomb”, “backward”, etc. If the world had had prior knowledge about the chaos, maybe it would have been better prepared. That notwithstanding, it was glorious year for some. If you asked Owners of Zoom about their take on the lockdowns, restrictions, etc, (apart from loss of lives), I believe they would see it as a year their business saw greater light. The same year, the same world, the same people, different views.

Going forward, everyone is on the lookout for what could happen this year, especially as UK’s cases soar. What happens to travels and relationships? What happens to kids and schools? What happens to people’s career? what happens to acquired skills that seems to fade out because of the changes we see. I read an article yesterday that Unilever’s employees will never return to working 5 days a week at desk. Before 2020 people didn’t need workstation at home but it’s becoming the norm. The world we saw 5 years ago isn’t the same today.

The good news is that since you alive to witness these developments, I would suggest to you that God has you marked. Quit following the crowd and get back to the drawing table; the table of Prayer. Your constant fellowship with God is vital for your direction and survival. Remember that in the period of drought, Isaac thought of escaping but God told him to remain where he was. He planted and reaped many fold. He became great when others were going down. He got it right because of his Fellowship with God.

Alright, as the essence of our relationship with God has been established, may I suggest (again) to you one prayer topic you should pray every day this year: “My Father, guide me along the best pathway for my life. Please be my adviser and continue Your watch over me“.

Sometimes you have to pray God’s own words. They are His words. And the scripture says that He watches over His words to perform them. He is also Faithful to Keep His Word.

As you gaze into the future, don’t fret because God knows what lies ahead; The very reason why you should pray for His guidance, advise, and Watch. Your Life is Safe with Jesus Christ. You will succeed. Amen
