THERE IS A WAY

Do you feel  heavy  burdened, bitterness and anxiety in your heart, simply because you encounter endless problems and ever blowing wind of storms in your everyday life? Does it seems to occur to you that the best way to avoid them is to end your life?

Then beloved I have good news from the Lord to you. The Lord is assuring you that from today there is always a way. Yes it could be so evident and crystal clear in humans’ perspective that it seems impossible to come out from the complex situations you may find yourself. You may try every possible means to seek solutions yet there seems not to be an answer to your situation. In such moment, don’t give up but rather turn to God, seek His direction through prayer, fasting and meditating upon His word and He will meets you at your point of need.

Sometimes it may seems that God keeps long in providing a way out for unpleasant situations life presents to you, but that is not the case for He knows what He had planned for your life and knows your end from the beginning. ‘’For I know the thought that I think towards you, says the LORD, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29 vs 11)

Always keep in mind that God never misses the way, He is the author and finisher of our faith. God with you in the journey of life, He is able to calm down any storms that blows in your direction. TRUST in God and surely He will turn any impossibilities into possibilities and perfect any imperfections in your life. Commit your thoughts, challenges to Him for He cares enough to offer His peace so you can experience serenity of mind and heart.

     

CONNECT TO THE SOURCE

Have you once in your life handled a device you have never seen before and do not even know it purpose? How did you figure out the device usefulness and how to operate it? Did the device tell you its purpose? No I guess. So how were you able to finally use the device?  I am sure the only way to reveal the device purpose is either consulting the creator of the device or reading the device manual.

The same principle applies to humans on earth. God being our creator and humans being the creation, he chooses to mould us and transform us to suit his purpose according to our strength and capabilities.

 He said to Prophet Jeremiah in (Jeremiah 1 versus 5) Before I formed you in the belly I knew you and before thou cometh forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet unto nations’’. This bible text teaches us that it is only in God that we discover our true and divine identity and purpose.

My dear, it time you put a stop to asking these endless and self-centered questions like; what do I want to be? What are my goals? And so on. This is because answers to these puzzled life purpose will never be revealed by focusing on yourselves. If you really want to know why you were placed on the earth, begin with God for HE ALONE IS OUR SOURCE

THE POTTER AND THE CLAY

Ever experience a potter in a clay house moulding a clay into a vessel before? Practically the clay is of no value. It is made valuable only in the right hands for the right purpose.’’ 

Then I went down to the potter’s house and there he was making something on the wheel. But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hands of the potter, so he remade it into another vessel as it pleased the potter to make’’ (Jerimiah 18 versus 3-4).

Life is a process and to be a fully packaged product you need to be refined and well-shaped. A clay in it raw state is formless, muddy and very sticky. It takes the  Mastery Hands of a Potter to shape a raw and formless clay into a decorated vessel.

As humans on earth, God the creator of the universe is our Master Potter and humans are the clay. It is therefore worthwhile to allow God (Master Potter) to patiently mould us humans (Clay) into a unique character, masterpiece and a vessel of honour unto the world for His very purpose. 

This is not a nine day wonder journey as it requires determination, stamina and inner fortitude to deal with intense pressures from all angles.A clay cannot mould itself likewise humans didn’t create themselves; but it is God who created us. He (Master Potter) therefore has the power to properly shape and guide our lives. Human (Clay) needs to submit to God (master potter) in order to be formed into something useful according to His will. 

Meanwhile if humans (Clay) refuses to submit wholly to God (Master Potter), then he is subjected to vulnerability and imperfections. This portrays the sovereignty of God (Master Potter) over humans (Clay), therefore he has not just perfect plans for humans (Clay) but sees the finished product in His mind, setting in motion perfect PLAN for our LIFE.

PUT ON A SMILE

Use your smile to change the world, don’t let the world change your smile. Very often, we go through pains and shed tears because we feel disappointed, neglected, and stabbed at the back by our very close friends and relatives. 

It becomes so painful and unbearable knowing that the very people we would sacrifice everything for do not realize and appreciate our efforts. In those moments of total depression, you try to feel the emptiness in you with revenge to that person you think has rejected you.

 But hey, take a moment and think deeply about the action you want to take. Ask yourself, is it worth taking this action? What will i gain from it? Is my action going to fill that emptiness within me and bring back happiness?

Obviously, the answer is A BIG NO. Rather, leave everything to prayer, patience and time which is the ultimate healer to heal every pain and disappointment. Hide all your pains behind a smile knowing that the best is on its way coming to you.
