Journey To The Top

You have made a wide path for my feet
    to keep them from slipping.

(Psalm 18:36, NLT)

When you have to walk on a tightrope, you need balance and focus. You would also have to practice and practice in order to perfect. If you are acrophobia, then thin line (tightrope) or narrow path wouldn’t be your thing, especially at a higher level.

Here is the thing: God has destined for you to go higher in life but the path uphill is thin like the tightrope. You need balance and focus. You must let go many things like worry and anxiety, anger, bitterness, lust, greed, etc to maintain balance. And to Focus, you must get rid of distractions. An example of distraction is comparing yourself to someone. I think it would be right to say that Balance enhances Focus.

God knows that apart from these two (balance and focus), the enemy will throw anything at you in order to get you off the line. Picture yourself on a tightrope at about 500 feet above and someone is throwing stones at you. Your enemy wants you to stumble and fall. Therefore He (God) has enlarged the path beneath you so that you don’t have to be on a tightrope. This will help you to maintain balance and move to achieve His purposes for your life.

When you journey on a path like the one above, maintaining balance is easy. This is what God has done for you. In Psalm 18:36, David said that God has made a wide path for his feet to keep them from slipping. With this (wide) path, David was assured of balance and he could run faster if need be. He had enemies who wanted him to fall at different stages of his life. His in-laws sought after his death and his son came fiercely to take away the throne. In spite of these, David had balance and was focused because God had him covered.

This is true for you as well. Your journey uphill maybe tough especially if your parents didn’t provide solid foundation and you have to dig your (own) way through. You will have enemies targeting your progress but know that your God has enlarged the path beneath you and He is making your steps secure. Don’t be afraid of what you see but let your actions be inspired by your Faith and keep moving forward. If you don’t give up, You will Succeed. God bless You!

2021: I Pray For You!

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

It’s always great to SEE a new year. Two weeks into 2021 and it’s a shame that am late in wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. One thing I didn’t not delay in doing is praying for you. I have prayed and still pray that God, through Jesus Christ, will supply your every need and make you abound in all good works. Your plans will succeed. You will continually find favor before God and people you encounter. You will have peace of mind and heart, and All you decide to do shall prosper. God will be merciful and gracious unto you and your family, and He will meticulously order your steps day by day.

It’s a fact that as you run your race this year, you are not at a disadvantage because The Most High God has His Holy Spirit vitalizing your mortal body on the inside. And as He has begun well with you, He will also end well with you. The news will not scare you because Jesus Christ has made you anew and fuel you for days, weeks, and months ahead.

I believe this year will be great and many wonderful things are bound to happen. When the world talks about recession, we will talk about abundance. There will be plenty of blessings for the Church. Our voices shall not be silenced. We will declare the goodness of our God aloud to the Nations.

Thank you for following Uplifting Christ. God will bless the works of your hands and you will remain fruitful throughout the year. Your Life Is Safe With Jesus!. God bless you more and more

Best Place to hide in troubled times (1min Read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Thinking of where to hide when enemies surround your life? Make no mistake, there are real enemies out there. Or maybe you have no enemy? Think about these two men; Mordecai and Naboth in the Bible. They didn’t have much and tried to mind their own businesses yet the powerful and rich in society came after their lives. In effect, sometimes your simple life is enough bait to attract enemies from angles you least expected.

The first is just by the way, let’s look at the real issue. You appeared on the enemy’s radar from the first day you decided to follow Jesus Christ. He became interested in everything about you; your family, job, purpose, happiness, health, etc. And his prime goal is to shift your focus from God into believing his lies.

Satan works through his demons, who also mostly work through people. This is why you don’t only focus on the person who is trying to harm you but also deal with the spirit(s) working behind the scenes. You have Power over them in the Name of Jesus.

Here is what appears to be scary: Your adversary has been around since creation. He didn’t spare Abraham (God’s friend), Moses (the man who got close to seeing God), David (the man after God’s heart), Elijah and Elisha (powerful prophets), Jesus Christ (Son of God), and the Apostles (full of the Holy Spirit). If experience is anything to talk about, then Satan and his demons know how best to toast a person’s life. And since he didn’t spare any of your heroes, don’t expect him to deal with you lightly. He will also try to hit you hard.

The Packages of your enemy are Troubles. Each individual has peculiar package based on Faith level and/or (our) unique weaknesses. If the enemy could overwhelm you with his packages, then he gets the foothold to strike more. That’s why you need to sensitive to his devices and have a hiding place where you can take refuge.

You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble;
You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance.

(Psalm 32:7, AMP)

David had many enemies and he figured through experience that the best place to hide is in God. The reason being that God is able to protect you from both spiritual and physical enemies. None of the enemy’s packages would ever come as a surprise to Him because He knows all things and He will pick delivery for you.

Having God as your hiding place has nothing to do with running to obscure location to find Him. You don’t need caves or highly secured facility. All you need to do is to REST IN HIS LOVE. The Trust and Knowing that He’s got you covered. In the next verse (Psalm 32:8), The Lord says “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”.

Friend the best place to hide in this wicked and perverse world is in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Troubles are bound to come but the Lord will deliver you from them all according to Psalm 34. Always present you case/story/issue/problem to Him and He will be there for you.
