PRAISING GOD AMID THE STORM

-

 One of the most difficult things to do is to sing praise and exalt God amid your turbulent situations. You may be tempted to doubt that God cares. The challenges may be like a huge mountain falling on you and then someone says praise is a weapon for winning. It is irrational to Job's wife, how her husband kept God's name in high esteem even with all the calamities that befell them. How will you claim God is GOOD, all the time and all the time, God is good? Young man, once the devil succeeds in defaming the PERSON of God in your heart using your troubled seasons, then you will begin to doubt God. Once doubt comes in, you become very unstable. Don't allow anyone, any demon, any devil to deceive you. *God is extremely and intricately GOOD*. I just told you that you need to praise Him in the storm and one wonders what that will do. Well, maybe I should establish one key issue with you young man? God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It means NO amount of Praise you give changes his PERSON. Your praise does not increase his mantle nor his power nor whatever you think of him. You may sing about how great God is, how he is the king of all kings and all, but in reality, even if you don't, Does his position change? Is he still the king without your praise? YES, he is. Is he greater beyond description even if you refuse to praise him because of your present situation? Yes, HE is GREATER than the greatest. You sing and shout about his power and position which remain unchanged eternally. But if you don't praise him, does that change? NO, He REMAINS who HE is FOR ALL AGES. Your praise opens up your HEART to see who God is and what he is capable of doing. Your heart visibly sees God's nature and extols his honor. You receive a new sense of God's person and that activates Faith.  With faith, God can do anything for you. There is more awareness of who God is, what he has done, and what he can and will do. You get new alertness in your spirit that God can never and will never fail any man who truly trusts in him. Rise now and give God the praise for all. In all things, give thanks. In all things, praise God. Once your heart is clear and you can see who is on the battlefield with you, you take the position of REST. Assurance of better things to come becomes extremely STRONG. In your entire making process, cultivate the habit of praising God and giving Him thanks in ALL situations. It may be tough at your low levels. Energy may not be in there, but strengthen yourself via his praise in your heart and your mouth. You will never regret doing so, you will only enjoy a new leap and your joy will overflow.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
