Giving up?

Sometimes we feel that life just seems to be throwing us on the ground, that all our dreams, all our hopes are just being crushed. This has happened to many people. Sometimes people start to believe that they are nothing, that there is no one to talk to and no where to run.

People think that Christianity is believing in God, but we also have to realize that GOD BELIEVES IN YOU. The creator of the world, the guy who has endless knowledge, endless skill, believes in someone like us. That's because he loves no matter what you do, Nothing can separate us from God's love, that's why God sent Jesus to die for us. Short message but a big meaning, remember that no matter what troubles you are going through, GOD IS THERE FOR YOU!

May you feel God's love
For it will never cease
Amen

Bad Days

Bad days, what are they and where do they come from? You know those days when you get out of bed and one after another problems keep occurring or when your day is going great until you make one mistake which ruins it all. We have all had one of these 'days' and if you haven't had a bad day yet, tell me your secret.

Bad days can sometimes be a challenge, but the best thing about a bad day is getting through it. Staying strong and not letting life beat us is not only making us stronger, but also lets us show our endurance for God. For God has endured much for us.

Romans 8:32 " He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"

God would have also had bad days, for He has taken insults from atheists, He has seen all of us sin countless times and He even sacrificed his own son for us. God has endured much for us, So the least we can do is endure a bad day for him. We can do this by leaning on the rock and asking for His help.

Leaning on God is the best thing we can do, if you've lost your job, keep smiling for if you ask for God's help He will find you another one, If you've failed an exam, pray about it but don't let it ruin your day, If you've lost your girlfriend, don't worry because God has planned and amazing women/man for you to be with. For as Christians we can never give up on ourselves or God. For God wants to help us, but he also wants us to endure for him.

So next time you have had one of these days, think of how victorious you will be when you have stood your ground and not let life beat you. For endurance is a key attribute in a Christian life.

May God bless you and go with you today
For we are soldiers enduring for him.
Amen

Where Is He?

Have you ever asked yourself where is God? Maybe you've been praying about something big in your life e.g God's plan for you, Death of a loved one etc. But God doesn't answer. Even though you pray every night to God to give you an answer, he stays silent?

As humans we rely on our 5 key senses, sight,sound,taste,touch and smell. But as Christians we believe in God who is invisible to all our senses. That's why sometimes we may feel alone, that God is not with us. But our senses are of this world and God is not from this world. That's why we must not rely on our senses and here are 5 reasons.
  • Scientists say that the world is hurling through space even as we speak, but to us, the world seems motionless
  • A doctor says a mark on your body can lead to cancer; But to you it feels harmless
  • An electrician says that broken power lines are dangerously live, But to you it looks dead
  • A mechanic says your car needs oil, But you think that it is not necessary
  • A solider tells you that this area is full of landmines, but you can't see any
These are experts who tell you facts and you believe them.

In Hebrews 13:5-6 it says "Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things that you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you,' so that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'"The Bible is what we should trust, not our senses for the words in it are from God himself.

So next time you feel alone and you can't see God, would you rather trust your senses, or the expert?

Make God go with you and bless you
For God is all around us and is alive today
Amen


Sometimes

Sometimes we feel like we have failed to the point where God won't forgive us. Sometimes we feel that we have committed so many sins that God will disown us. Sometimes we even feel that Jesus, the guy who died for us, doesn't love us anymore. I'm here to tell you that all these feelings, all these thoughts of God not loving you, are false.

God is a forward planner, he already knows that we will sin, That's why he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for us. Jesus died not only for the sins that we have done, but for all sins, past,present and future. This means just by believing that Jesus is our Savior, We are already forgiven for all things that we have done, doing now and are going to do.

So next time you fail, confess you sin to God but also rejoice that Jesus is risen and has died for all man's sins. Remember sometimes we will fall, sometimes we fail, But as long as we have taken Jesus into our life, GOD will always forgive us.

May God bless you and help you along your spiritual walk
For Jesus is alive and risen today
Amen
