Problems are Opportunities

By -
When God is with me, the problems that come to harm me or destroy me, go away blessing me.
The problems become opportunities for God to bless me. This is because of God alone.

It is written that when God favours someone, his enemies shake his hand. The problems that were my enemies, shook my hand and opened the door for God to bless me.

It happened with Israel, God's favored people, when Balaam, sent by Balak to curse them, ended up speaking blessings over them. He may have been a big problem, but God's favor for His people is bigger-much bigger.

When a problem dare confront, oppose, or intends to harm us then my loving Father, takes it up as a personal issue - He makes it His personal fight. He, who is the Almighty Most High King, does not allow any problem to harm me. He subdues that problem and orders it to bless me instead.

Problems, unable to disobey the Most High King , become His slaves and open the door for a blessing to come through to us, before it is banished forever away from us. This is the problem's punishment for daring to bother the Father's beloved child.

Why then should I not laugh when a problem comes my way? Did my God, my Father not see it coming - He who never sleeps nor slumbers only because He loves to watch me always, because He'd rather keep watch on me than on all the beautiful things He created?

I laugh for my Father saw it coming and I know what this poor problem is in for. The problem does not probably realize what's in store for it. My God will make it bless me and banish it forever.

I must understand this; God will not allow that problem to leave unless it has blessed me. This is to teach me that I needn't be afraid of the problem or the opportunity it brings. For my Father wouldn't ever harm me; He'd rather die on the cross Himself.

Let me then trust Him forever with all my heart and soul and senses and all. Let me never insult His love by disbelieving Him and disobeying Him. Let me love Him like He deserves to be loved and cherished.

When someone like Balaam, something like a problem, dare not disobey Him or make trifle His purpose, would I, His beloved daughter, not obey Him?

Only that we trust and obey, and our Father will crush the enemy under our feet.

Lord, help me never doubt You. Help me Jesus to be what You want me to be. Give me the grace and strength to be as you like - to live to know You, love You, obey You and worship You. In Jesus ' name, Amen.

He is with me!

By -
I made a choice to knock on a door not meant for me. He warned me, I did not understand. I stood outside the door. He stood with me. I knocked the door, and it didn’t open for me. He stood with me. I knocked and I knocked. He knocked with me. The door did not open. I waited. He waited with me. I waited. He tried to lead me away from the wrong door. I didn’t understand. He waited. I was knocked down. He was with me. It was an iron door that refused to relent to my knocking. He was with me. I knocked the door till I was hurting and bleeding. He knocked for me. I knocked till was exhausted and weary. He was with me. I sat by the closed door and waited for 6 years, knocking now and then, wearing myself out. Keeping patience and losing it. He waited with me. I knocked off and on. He knocked way more than I did – for me. I refused to budge from the door not meant for me. He stayed. I didn’t understand anything. He understood everything. Yet, He wa

Perfect love casts out fear

I've learnt something about love. Love does not cause us to be weak. It makes us strong. The perfect love of the Father God makes us strong. It brings us life, joy and strength. When we love others with that love, we are strengthened within ourselves. The Word of God says - I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Problems and disagreements may arise. People are not perfect. Not even that someone special in one's life. But love overlooks. Love conquers the imperfections. No love is not blind. But love is light. When one looks at another under the perfect light of love, all things fall into the perfect perspective. Wrongs are covered, forgiven, and forgotten. Love makes it easy to forgive. Love makes it easy to move on. Love makes everything clear. Decisions come easy, and one is confident that they did right. No matter how a situation turns out, when what we do is done is love, outcome is good. Father God blesses an action done out of lov

Misery Conquered!!

By -

Catch 'em Unawares!! Misery closes our minds, blinds us and deafens our ears with too much noise in our heads. It is especially capable, with these tools, to eventually shut the door of our hearts. Here's a neat technique: Go into a quiet room with Misery and lock yourself in with it. Then, with no prior warning, drop on your knees and call upon the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Beloved. He'll come. (obviously!) Then, introduce Misery to Jesus Christ. Let Jesus deal with Misery. Now, for the very important part - you just need to sit back and rest Your Lord Jesus Christ does not need any help dealing with anything, but He sure appreciates you singing some praises. Believe me, your singing praises can distract even your worst enemy from doing his job. The accusator would have just one cause against you - that you sprang a stronger Ally on him and when he was only trying to fight and do his job, your singing distracted him.
