DON’T STOP ASKING

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Storms of life are inevitable and they come in diverse ways. Personally, I wish they aren’t part of the package so that life journey could just be series of predictable events. The reality however is that You have something to deal with, and I have my share to handle.

Everyday has it’s huddles which is why you have to learn to live one day at a time. No carry forwards if you want to enjoy your life as well as deal with issues that matter for the day.

The year is still young but it’s tempting to overburden yourself with unmet needs, desires, goals, and maybe some unanswered prayer request(s). It’s depressing to listen to someone’s testimony and kind of wonder if God is keeping it real with you. I hear people testify daily, see the joy, smiles, and hear laughter of happiness at the other side of the phone. This is another reality we face each day but it doesn’t mean we should worry, or cry, or even doubt God because things aren’t happening according to our schedules. It means that we can Trust God that He is able to sort us out when the time is right.

In Psalm 37:18-19 (NLT), the psalmist said “Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that last forever. They not be disgraced in hard time; even in famine they will have more than enough.”

God is taking care of you right now. One thing you may not know is that those who shared their testimonies with you also had to deal with the same emotions, thoughts, etc during their waiting period. I know dozens of people who complained, cried, doubted, didn’t want to pray again, etc during their waiting period but in the end, when their needs were met, they looked back and laughed.

Some day, not too far from now, you will also look back and say Thank You Lord. Your testimony will surpass anything you would ever imagine because your God is Big. In the meantime, don’t fret. Keep Asking, Keep Seeking, and Keep Knocking. When you take the first letter of Asking, Seeking, and Knocking, you get the word ASK. Therefore don’t STOP ASKING.

Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

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 surprise the world. 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.

The scripture says that “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). Everybody has dreams and aspirations but God has set time for everything we need. We want to do this or that but God’s timing is different from ours. In other words, things may not always happen the way we want them to be. The vision you have is for appointed time. 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 told that person there is a set time for everything under the sun. And all we have got to do is to wait patiently and keep on trusting 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 God 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 47. Be encouraged that God has set time for your vision: though it tarry, wait for it because it will surely come, it will not delay.

God bless You

Give your burdens to Jesus

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

He cares for you 

He says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Jesus wants to give you rest. You have carried your burdens for so long; they are draining you emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Carrying them alone means you have not fully trust God to care of you.

Friend, Don’t carry your loads alone; Don’t cry because a friend betrayed you, Don’t kill yourself because you think life hasn’t been fair to you, Don’t be bitter because people rejected you, and Don’t get negative about your situation (it could be addiction, sin, no child, no job, no money in the account, heartbroken, difficulty in bringing up a child, unproductive, etc) . Jesus wants to give you rest; He wants you to have peace with God and with yourself.

Say this Prayer: “Father I give all my burdens (you mention them one by one) to you. I give it all to you Lord. I am tired and can’t carry them anymore. I have come to you today, and I trust that I will never be the same again in JESUS’ NAME. Amen.”

 “Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” (Psalm 55:22, NLT)
