AVOID THE HAGARS

-

Young man, beware of getting help anyway and anyhow when you seem to get stuck on your journey.. It is delicate for you to do so. Of course, at one point or the other in your journey, you will need help from your horizontal relationships. Just take caution in knowing where such help will come from. Every help around you may look like what will bail you out from a draught, stagnant point or bareness. You may cross some red lines in moment when you are extremely tired. Crossing such boundaries may hinder you from becoming all that God had designed for you. It may also put a big spot on your testimonies. Beware of the Hagars in your testimony. Sarah had a lengthy delay in her marriage. She was not fruitful for several years till she passed menopause. She was in dare need of solution to her condition. She wanted her husband to have a child they could call theirs. Neglecting the promises of God for them, she sought help from Hagar. She sought to end her woe by herself. You may be in such conditions too. When you think the promises of God tarries or when you think you should device the methodology of helping his promises to come alive. Well, you have to be extremely careful at such junctions. Your help is purely in God. Seeking help from your horizontally oriented relationships must originate from God alone. When you device to seek help from anyone away from God, you may end up been mocked. The help Sarah sought gave them what they wanted but caused a big threat to the promise of God. Hagar started to mock Sarah and behave unruly to her. Her son also mocked the promised child when he later arrived. Hagar seemed to be the best help for her problem but the help was later sent packing. It was a poisonous help. It was a mocking help. Young man, watch where you go, in seeking for help when you are in dare need of one. Be guided by God's Spirit. In famine, Elijah was guided to his supply. Be guided in getting help. Not all help are really help. Some are lazed with danger. 

Reference; Gen 16

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
