Trust in the Lord!

 Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 
in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

One of the well known bible verse that encourages us to put our trust in God. Trusting God is sometimes not easy, because in the physical, a situation could be dire, with no way out whilst God asks us to trust Him. Temptations are high to take matters into our own hands, and lose faith altogether. But the bible tells us that we must not rely on our understanding. Facts can say one thing but with God, ALL things are possible. An example I can make on this is about sickness. Someone who's health has taken a different turn and doctors have tried everything they can no longer help, where they declare there's nothing they can do, God asks us to trust Him. In the natural, it might seem like it is over, but with God, healing can still manifest. In this case, we need not have to rely on our own understanding, of what the doctors are saying, but put our trust in the Lord to bring healing. Look at the story in 2 Kings 20, where God informed king Hezekiah through prophet Isaiah that he wasn't going to recover but would die. The king faced the wall and cried to the Lord, reminding Him how faithful he's been, how he devoted himself to God. His prayers were answered, God sent the prophet back to tell the king that He would give him 15 more years to live!

This tells us that we need only trust God about every area of our lives. Surrender it to Him and let Him take charge and see us through. Yes the medical team is there to help facilitate the healing, however, our trust must not be in them or the medication, but in God that He will use them to manifest the healing in our lives. Same with the other areas of our lives. God cares about us and we can depend on Him. Give Him a chance.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
